U17 World Cup Preview: Mexico vs Solomon Islands

Mexico face Solomon Islands in a “must win” game to close out their group stages. Mexico is a win away from guaranteeing a place in the knockout stages, but anything besides that would eliminate them. They are lucky that they would be facing what most consider the worst team in this World Cup, who were crushed by Italy and Paraguay in their first two games. If Mexico wins, they would be the first and only team in CONCACAF to get a victory in this World Cup as well as the only one to qualify.
