The Mexican national team will face a difficult obstacle on this FIFA date, when they go on a tour of the north of the continent and have to visit the United States and Canada, in the duels of the qualifying round for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
It will be the end of the first round of the CONCACAF eight final against the Americans and the beginning of the second round against the Canadians, so it is imperative that Tricolor does not lose to secure a comfortable qualification for the next World Cup.
However, it is not inconceivable that he will lose defeats these days, as the defeats of Maple Leaf turned out to be a gritty tie at Azteca with those led by Gerardo Martino, while against Las Barras y las Estrellas they have lost twice this year, first in the League Nations then in the Gold Cup final.
How many points does Mexico qualify for the World Cup?
Compared to other qualifiers, a team achieves its place in the World Cup as it takes first place in the qualifying rounds in CONCACAF with 70% of the points, but to get to the qualifiers it takes no more than 45%. 50% gets third place and 62% gets second place.
Translated into points, in the 14 rounds of the Concacaf Eight Final, 42 points are played in total, of which so far just over 70% (11 out of 15 possible). If you follow this step, you will have the World Cup at your fingertips, where you must get between 26 and 30 points to confirm your first place.
70% is 29 units, out of 42 is at stake, but given how competitive this octagon is, only the unbeaten and their propensity for undefeated contender points that did not appear in Alrada and Mexico are taken. The competitor to beat will be ranked, even with fewer units. But speculation does not fit the tricolor historically.
What if Mexico loses to the United States and Canada?
Next Friday, November 12, they play against the United States to close out the first round of the octagon and conclude the year of the visit to Canada. Then there will be four home games left for Costa Rica, Panama, the United States and El Salvador, and two more matches on the way: against Jamaica and Honduras.
If Mexico wins the four championships at home, it will have another 12 points, and if it gets at least a tie from its visits left (of which there are four in total), it will have 16 points, which can be confirmed. Without a World Cup problem, because it will feature a total of 30 units.
But looking at the direction the tie is taking, you can afford to lose two games and still not run the risk of being disqualified, because you’ll be left with 28.
