Mexico vs. Suriname
Mexico will look to build on their thrilling opening-round win against Dominica Republic when they take on Suriname, making their Gold Cup debut. El Tri will look to avoid repeating last tournament’s first-round upset loss when Costa Rica defeated them 3-0 during that first matchup.
Suriname, currently ranked 137th by FIFA, will make their Gold Cup debut under Stanley Menzo’s direction this year. A former Vice-President of Central American Football Union (CFU), Menzo has led Suriname’s national team since 2015 from Paramaribo’s Stadion Depok stadium.
National team players from Saint Kitts and Nevis have participated in three CONCACAF World Cup qualifying campaigns but never reached the finals. At present they form part of CONCACAF Nations League B alongside Saint Kitts & Nevis, British Virgin Islands and Nicaragua.
As the Netherlands discourages dual citizenship, players with Dutch passports – many of whom play professionally in the Netherlands- are ineligible for selection on its national team.
Several Dutch-born players with Surinamese descent such as Ruud Gullit, Gerald Vanenburg, Virgil van Dijk and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink have, however, represented it internationally in competitions.
Suriname has struggled against Mexican teams in the past, losing all four meetings against them. But with an impressive 139th ranking and this match being broadcast live by FS1 in America (also available to subscribers of TUDN and Univision in Spanish language).
Fubo also offers new customers free trials; kickoff will occur Wednesday afternoon at Estadio Azteca Stadium in Mexico City at 2:30 p.m. ET.
Mexico Lineups
El Tri is Mexico’s national football team. Under the governance of Federacion Mexicana de Ftbol (the Mexican Football Federation), this squad competes in FIFA-recognized competitions such as the World Cup.
El Tri has proven itself an unstoppable force throughout their history with eighteen major tournament victories and four runners-up finishes under its belt – earning El Tri the distinction as most successful national team ever seen at FIFA competitions.
Mexico national football team was first created in 1929 and entered its inaugural FIFA World Cup tournament that year. Since then, they have represented their nation in multiple global competitions, winning 26 major titles while finishing as runners-up five times; also holding onto twelve Gold Cup victories throughout history!
At the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Mexico was drawn into Group A alongside South Africa, France and Uruguay. They managed to beat South Africa and tie France before losing out against Uruguay 2-1 en route to making the last 16. In their round 16 matchup against rival United States they fell by two goals, ultimately being knocked out.
Mexico was drawn into Group B alongside England, Costa Rica, and Belgium for the next round, where they tied 1-1 against England before beating Costa Rica 1-0 and Belgium 2-1 to finish on nine points and qualify for quarter-finals four out of five World Cups (and first time at one hosted by their own nation). Mexico qualified for quarterfinals three out of these five World Cups as they earned quarter-final status each time!
Head coach Javier Aguirre is likely to stick with the lineup that began Mexico’s 3-1 win against Czechia at Estadio Azteca. Should he wish, Aguirre has many different players at his disposal should he wish to make changes; these may include Tigres defender Jesus Angulo and winger Marcel Ruiz from Tigres FC.
Aguirre could add depth to his attacking options by signing Alexis Vega or Julian Quinones to replace Orbelin Pineda due to injury. Meanwhile, Guillermo Ochoa will hope to keep up his impressive tournament form which includes two clean sheets so far at this World Cup tournament.
The Mexico national football team is an affiliate member of both CONCACAF and FIFA, the world governing body of association football. Dubbed El Tri after their national flag’s three colors of green, white, and red; home matches take place at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City; their longstanding rivalry with United States dates back to 1934 when their first match took place, which continues today and generates significant media coverage and public discourse during matches between these teams.
Suriname Lineups
Suriname national football team represents Suriname on international men’s football stage. Administered by Surinamese Football Association and competing within CONCACAF region despite geographical presence within South America.
The national team has never qualified for the FIFA World Cup finals and their best continental performance came when they finished third at the 1984 Caribbean Cup. Costa Rica are founding members of CONCACAF since 1961.
Suriname was once part of the Netherlands, so its former colony makes it easy for Suriname to attract Dutch players born and playing professionally there – such as Etienne Vaessen from FC Groningen, Middlesbrough defender Anfernee Dijksteel, QPR midfielder Kenneth Paal, Hamburg’s Immanuel Pherai and Royal Antwerp’s Gyrano Kerk.
Stanley Menzo leads Suriname’s national football team under his guidance, and boasts an experienced squad capable of giving Mexico a run for its money. Menzo has had much success qualifying Suriname for CONCACAF tournaments; most notably guiding Suriname to an impressive top four finish in 2021 Gold Cup competition.
Mexico may have suffered an initial scare in their opening game, but they are more than capable of progressing to the knockout stage of the competition. A victory against Suriname, coupled with Costa Rica defeating the Dominican Republic, would guarantee their place in the quarterfinals.
The Suriname National Football Team Vs Mexico National Football Team Lineups will be closely watched, as both managers are expected to field strong starting XIs for this crucial Gold Cup fixture. The match will be broadcast nationally on FS1, with Spanish-language coverage available on TUDN and Univision. Fans can also stream the game live on Fubo, which offers new users a free trial period.
