How will Mexico line up against Uruguay?

A new era begins Friday for Mexico. El Tri ended the 2018 World Cup like they have ended the last few - at the round of 16. Now interim manager Ricardo "Tuca" Ferretti is in charge of the team ahead of Friday's match against Uruguay and next week's game with the United States.

It's a chance for a new generation to rise up, and there are 11 players on the roster who are 23 or younger. Ferretti gave few clues about what he wanted to do tactically, saying he always keeps those concepts guarded before a match.

He said he wanted to see his team "play soccer" and that while winning is the goal the first priority is development.
