CARSON, Calif. – Mexico will look to book their ticket to the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia this week with two massive matches against Panama and Costa Rica.
LA Galaxy stars Giovani dos Santos and Jonathan dos Santos were among the 25 players called into Juan Carlos Osorio’s squad for a pair of World Cup qualifiers against Panama on Sept. 1 and Costa Rica on Sept. 5. Mexico can qualify for Russia outright with a victory over Panama and a Honduras loss or draw against Trinidad and Tobago.
Whether Mexico lock down their World Cup berth on Friday or not, Jonathan dos Santos says both games are crucial for Osorio’s squad.
