Mexico’s men’s national team is set to open the Concacaf Gold Cup on Saturday against the Dominican Republic, kickstarting their title defense and hunt for a 10th championship.
While head coach Javier Aguirre’s side comes into the tournament on a high after winning the Concacaf Nations League in March, they will hope to claim yet another title in their final competitive games ahead of next year’s FIFA World Cup on home soil.
To start the tournament, they face the Dominican Republic, one of the minnows of Group A, which is making its Gold Cup debut despite not advancing to the final round of Concacaf World Cup Qualifying.
With many first-choice players committing to El Tri, how could they line up in the opening matchup at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood?
