Route to the World Cup

Argentina

This is a country with a rich history in the World Cup and one of the best records of all nations participating in 2022. They will be wanting to make amends for their exit in the round of 16 in the 2018 World Cup, where they lost a thrilling match to eventual tournament winners France. Argentina have been runners-up in the tournament on three occasions including the first ever World Cup held in Uruguay 1930. The other tournaments where they finished runners-up were in Italy in 1990 and more recently in Brazil 2014. It required home advantage of the Argentinian World Cup of 1978 for them to go all the way and win the tournament 3-1 after extra time against Netherlands. Argentina’s Mario Kempes ended the tournament top goal-scorer with 6 goals. They did not have to wait long for their second World Cup triumph when they beat West Germany 3 – 2 in Mexico 1986 when Diego Maradona won the Golden Ball. Can Argentina’s current version of Diego Maradona, Lionel Messi, bring the World Cup back to Argentina in 2022 for what may be his last World Cup final appearance?

Mexico

When it comes to the World Cup, Mexico are consistent performers. The 2022 World Cup in Qatar will be the eighth consecutive time they have qualified for the finals. In each of their last seven tournaments they have been knocked out in the round of 16. This is the 17th time Mexico has qualified and their best finish has been the quarterfinals on two occasions. Both times they achieved this was on home soil in the Mexican World Cups of 1970 and 1986. To reach the 2022 World Cup finals, Mexico finished second in the CONCACAF third round qualifying group, only being pipped to first place on goal difference by Canada.
