In October, El Tri will take on two larger names in the football world. They'll take on Ghana on October 14 at a venue that hasn't been confirmed yet, and on October 17 they square off against Germany at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Two of the stadiums Mexico will be playing at - Mercedes-Benz and Lincoln Financial - will be venues used at the 2026 World Cup that is co-hosted by USA, Canada, and Mexico.
In the buildup to those games, it will be interesting to see who Mexico chooses as their next permanent head coach after Jaime 'Jimmy' Lozano impressed during their Gold Cup triumph.
