After eight matches, Mexico sits third in the Central American Qualifiers, level on points with Panama. The top three finishers in this region book direct berths to the World Cup in Qatar. If Mexico finishes fourth, they will enter a play-off for a place in the intercontinental tournament for one of the remaining spots. However, the country is five points ahead of Panama on goal differential. That means Mexico's fate is in their own hands, as the U.S. did not qualify for the Russia 2018 World Climaxy.

The Mexican national team has had to play four games away from home to qualify. This has been the case since the 2000s, when Mexico failed to qualify in the U.S. The country has played poorly in World Cup qualifiers 2022, primarily due to a lack of good pitches. Canada rolled out artificial turf and frigid temperatures. The country must have thought the winters in Ohio were worse.

The Mexican National Team has to look in the mirror and bottle up that urgent feeling that was missing in Edmonton. With a 2-0 win over El Salvador, the USMNT has remained tied with Mexico and the defending champions are now in the final round of qualifying for the World Cup. A 2-1 defeat in Montreal will be a setback to the Mexicans, but a 1-0 win in Cincinnati will put them in a better position to qualify for the next tournament.

With Mexico's performance at home, it is critical to focus on CONCACAF. The continent will have five teams participating in the tournament. The top three nations will receive automatic berths. The fourth team will have to participate in a playoff round with the other top four nations. That's it. This is not a difficult task. It will require a lot of hard work and determination.

With Mexico in third place in the Concacaf World Cup Qualifiers, Canada is the next team to challenge the Mexicans. The Mexicans have won four of their last four matches, including two away matches. Moreover, they won all of their four qualifying games in the Concacaf Finals. This is a crucial time for the country. If they are able to do well, they could qualify for the World Championship in 2022.

As the top three teams, Mexico has a great chance of qualifying for the World Cup. The second place is a difficult task, but they can do it. The first team has to win the CONCACAF Finals. Ultimately, the Mexicans must qualify. It is the team's responsibility to do so. The country's failure will make the World Cup unviable. The USMNT will also be eliminated.
