Mexico have already made it to the Round of 16 after winning their first two matches against Germany and South Korea. The contest against Sweden is a chance for them to continue their winning run while Sweden will be hoping to get the win to boost their qualification chances. Sweden lost their previous encounter against Germany 2-1 with an injury time goal, and they will be hoping that they can beat Mexico, and reach the Round of 16. Catch Live scores an updates as Mexico face Sweden in Group F match.
With back-to-back victories to open the World Cup, including one over defending champion Germany, Mexico’s national team has already been anointed by some back home as the best in the country’s history. If Mexico beat Sweden on Wednesday it would win its group with a perfect record, something it has never achieved in its long World Cup history. It’s exactly the kind of big dreams that 30-year-old forward Javier Hernandez was criticized for prior to the tournament when he said winning this year’s World Cup was a possibility.
On Tuesday in advance of El Tri’s final Group F match against Sweden, he doubled down. “The best thing to do with dreams is to share them with people who are dreamers,” he said. “We are brave enough not only to dream, but to work on those dreams so that we can make them true.”
