And so, less than three months after that fateful evening in Santa Clara, California, the Mexico national team makes its return to the soccer fields as they take on El Salvador at the Estadio Cuscatlán in World Cup qualifying.
Not much has changed on the lead up to this match. Mexico’s latest disappointment has not been forgotten yet, and criticism towards manager Juan Carlos Osorio and El Tri has been far and wide. For many fans, patience is wearing thin, for everything that Osorio accomplished during his first few months in charge there seems to the looming curse and memory of that 7-0.
