How they qualified Needed a play-off win over New Zealand to reach the finals after a shambolic campaign where they won only twice in 10 games in their group, missing out on an automatic passage to Brazil. World Cup high Hosting the World Cup in 1970 and 1986 was pretty special but Fernando Quirarte’s header in their opening game in Azteca in ’86 unleashed an outpouring of emotion from a country still coming to terms with the previous year’s earthquake which caused the deaths of over 10,000 people. His celebration tells the whole story. World Cup low Defeat on penalties to West Germany in the quarter-final in ’86. Those damn Germans and their penalties. Familiar faces Javier Hernández (Manchester United). The manager Miguel Herrera took over in October following the disastrous qualifying campaign where, at one stage, they went through three managers in three games. Herrera eased his way into the job with a 9-3 aggregate win over New Zealand. How in danger is he? 7/10. Surely they wouldn’t sack him just yet? Most likely to light up Brazil... Herrera turned to his home-based players for the two-legged penalty and Oribe Peralta didn’t let him down scoring five goals over the two games. Most likely to be sent home in disgrace... Tensions between European and home-based players may cause friction in the camp so take your pick as to which one of the big names will throw their toys out of the pram first, especially if they’re not being selected. Title odds: 100/1 The stereotype is… Lightning quick, highly volatile football. Plenty of spectacular goals and sendings off. The reality is... They would like to live up to their reputation – they just may not be good enough. Still, you can always kick people. What they're known for Tequila 30 per cent The Three Amigos 45 per cent Ponchos 12 per cent Tacos 8 per cent Mariachi bands 5 per cent How Brazilian are they? Not very, but they would like to be. How Google translates the national anthem Fatherland! Fatherland! Your children swear to you to breathe their last for your sake, if the bugle with its bellicose accent calls them together to battle with courage. How long does it last? A short, sharp and sweet 90 seconds. How to dress like their fans For men: sombreros, face-paint, Mexican wrestling masks. For women: often not an awful lot. Commentator's go-to stat Mexico have qualified for every World Cup since 1982, except for 1990 when they were banned. They went through four managers just to get to Brazil.
