Mexico will face Jamaica in their first game of Copa America 2024. El Tricolor needs a victory to start the tournament in the best possible way and leave all those ghosts from the past behind.

Last time Mexico participated in the Copa America was back in 2016 where they had their worst performance ever losing 7-0 against Chile in the quarter finals. This year, they will try not to repeat what happened in 2016, but expectations are low and fans are not very motivated by this team.

The coach Jaime Lozano will try to reverse the bad situation that the Mexican national team is going through, but he left Premier League striker Raul Jimenez off the roster. Many people may wonder why Lozano took this decision.
