The mision is clear for Mexico: avoid the drama and suffering of the 2014 road to Brasil. That’s why El Tri chooses totrust on the mighty forces of the Azteca Stadium to help it to return to the victory path on the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers after a terrifying perfomance on the last rounds.

Yes: FIFA did not hesitate and punished mexican team with a fan ban for his next 2home games in the Qualifiers, because of the persistent racist scream they make everytime the away goalkeeper executes a goal kick. However, Mexico prefers the silence of his iconical venue than to be in the same condition somewhere else.

So it is settled: Costa Rica and Panamá must deal with Mexico’s City altitude and polution when they faceEl Trion the tenth and eleventh round of Concacaf route to Qatar 2022. The Centroamerican teams will need to be prepared: the anxiety and pressure of theiropponent will double its level of dangerousness.

The concern arrives because even a tiny mistake could toss the Mexicans to the fourth position: the one that forces to dispute aplayoff against an Oceanian national squad in order to obtain a place in Qatar 2022.
