Mexico have announced their starting lineup for tonight’s World Cup qualifier against the USA, and it’s terrifying. While many predicted that Rafa Marquez would start in midfield for El Tri, the veteran player has been put in defense alongside Hector Moreno and Diego Reyes.
In midfield, Miguel Layun, Andres Guardado and Hector Herrera will be charged with protecting the defense and shuttling the ball forward into attack. Above them, Carlos Vela, Tecatito Corona and Giovani dos Santos will look to stretch the American defense.
Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez will serve as the lone striker.
Mexico lineup: Talavera; Reyes, Marquez, Moreno; Layún, Guardado, Herrera; Dos Santos, Vela, Corona; Chicharito. #USAvMEX
