Mexico has already punched its ticket to the knockout rounds of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Israel Reyes doesn’t care.
The 26-year-old defender, typically deployed as a fullback but filling in at center-back, made it clear that El Tri intends to treat their final Group A match against Czechia with the same intensity as if qualification were still on the line. He also called on the home crowd at Estadio Azteca to bring relentless energy for the full 90 minutes.
Perfect record on the line at Estadio Azteca
Mexico enters the Czechia fixture with a flawless group stage record. El Tri opened with a 2-0 victory over South Africa on June 11, then followed it up with a tighter 1-0 win against South Korea on June 18.
That means Mexico sits atop Group A with six points from two matches, making the Czechia game mathematically irrelevant for qualification purposes.
