Mexico already has a contender in the final four and at least it’s not the United States

Mexico was the only team to bounce back from a tie in the CONCACAF Nations League, so their ‘punishment’ was to face a more dominant team, namely Canada, in the quarter-finals.

The final four (semi-final) of the Nations League was limited and as El Tri were the only qualified team to lose their first game, it was aligned against the only team without a goal in the top eight. , that is, an increasingly strong Canadian team.

The four teams that made it to the quarter-finals advanced to the next round.

Semi Final 1 (March 20):

· 1. Canada | Both advanced by beating Suriname twice 2-0

· 4. Mexico | They bounced back against Honduras (4-2) with a 4-0 win at home

Semi Final 2 (March 20):

· 2. America | They beat Jamaica twice: 1–0 in the first leg and 4–2 in the second leg.

· 3. Panama | They won away to Costa Rica and drew at home (3-2 on aggregate).

There will be two semi-finals (one match), as well as a final March 23, 2025 at Sophie Stadium in Los Angeles. The losers will play a third-place match at the same venue.

It’s true that Canada is a rising power in the region, but it’s worth celebrating not running into the US in the semifinals, as it’s worth remembering that the previous three times the ‘Aztecs’ faced their record in this tournament. , it was forever lost. It’s too early to tempt fate now.

Interestingly, on September 10 ‘Vasco’ Aguirre faced ‘Maple Leaf’, the score 0-0. In other words, El Tri can see how much progress he’s made in the spring.

Only the US has managed to beat Mexico in the Nations League so far. Let’s see if El Tri maintains its streak against Canada.
