Why you should support Mexico
El Tri probably won’t give too much throttle, with interim manager Jaime Lozano auditioning for the full-time job and a ninth confederacy title in his sights. Mexico has won the Gold Cup more than any other team and they want to keep it that way. The USMNT is expected to have a chance to compete for an eighth-place finish to match El Tri’s goal. Lozano has a lot of talent to use, including Henry Martin, Orbelin Pineda, Luis Romano and Santiago Gimenez. All have scored in this Gold Cup, Romo twice.
Uriel Antuna has become a key midfield playmaker for Mexico, and the 25-year-old has nine goals and nine assists in 38 caps. Martin scored his 11th international goal, and although he has only played 30 caps at the age of 30, he has emerged as a prolific scorer. Martin has scored 54 goals over the past four seasons with Club America, including a Liga MX-leading 24 last season. The other real striker, 22-year-old Santiago Gimenez, scored 15 goals for Feyenoord in the Dutch Eredivisie last season. See which team to choose here.
Why you should support Qatar
The Maroons are the only team with anything on the line, so they will give their best against a Mexico squad that is likely to change. Mexico is already missing stars like Raul Jiménez, Jesus Manuel Corona and Hirving Lozano, and others could sit here on the couch. Qatar is likely to play a physical game to break down Mexico’s forwards, and they have committed 30 fouls in the two matches. They have seen 10 bookings including a red card for Yousuf Abdurisag who will miss this game.
Tameem Mansour scored one goal and Abdurisag scored the other in this tournament. Almoez Ali has scored 42 international goals and needs just one more to equal Mansour Muftah’s all-time team record. Mohammed Muntari, Ali’s teammate at Al-Duhail in Qatar’s Star League, scored 15 goals in 55 matches. Every player is from that league, with six of the 12 teams represented, so there’s fame and former RealMadrid And Portugal manager Carlos Queiroz does not let go of the team in this final.
