Mexico has disappointed at the FIFA World Cup. Tata Martino’s side came into the tournament with a lot of questions and have provided little answers. A boring and lifeless draw with Poland was followed by a disappointing defeat to Argentina.

Now with only one point from six in play, Mexico needs a win to stay alive, a draw does not help, but they also need to score goals, if not El Tri will be heading home a lot sooner than they expected.

So, what happens if El Tri loses to Saudi Arabia? Find out below, you can watch this game in the US live on FuboTV (7-day free trial) and Peacock (Limited-time offer for 0.99/m).

The last time El Tri failed to get out of the first round of a World Cup was in 1978 in Argentina. From 1986 until 2018 (except in 1990), El Tri have at least made a round of 16 appearance.
