Mexico (composition)
Although the Mexican national team has not achieved prominent victories on the international stage, it deserves respect from other teams. This country's national team has participated in a total of twelve World Cups, two of which took place in Mexico. Even European giants like England or France cannot boast such numbers.
Since the beginning of his work with the Mexican national team, Argentine coach Ricardo Lavolpe stated that his main goal is to prepare the team for the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
However, this does not mean that the Mexican national team will not strive for victory in the Confederations Cup. The team from this country has already won the Confederations Cup. They managed to do so in 1999, when they defeated the famous Brazilian national team 4-3 in a fantastic match.
Lately, Mexican football as a whole is experiencing a renaissance - the country's clubs perform excellently in the Libertadores Cup tournament, while the national team is firmly aiming to qualify for its thirteenth World Cup.
It is worth mentioning that currently Mexico's national team has not lost in 17 consecutive matches and is in the top twenty of the FIFA World Rankings.
The current Mexican national team is a well-balanced squad of young talented footballers and experienced players. However, the soul of the current team can be named after two players - defender Rafael Marquez, who represents Spain's "Barcelona," and experienced 31-year-old forward Jared Borgetti. It is Borgetti who is the top scorer of the Mexican national team in the World Cup qualifiers for the tournament in Germany.
In addition to these two players, the Mexican team has a number of young talented footballers, each of whom tries to prove their worth in every match. Therefore, the team's coach is confident that his team will successfully perform in the Confederations Cup and extend their unbeaten streak.
