The most successful team in the CONCACAF region, Mexico, have been one of the biggest chokers when it comes to FIFA World Cups as they have had six straight round of 16 exits from 1994 till 2014 and out of those six.

Mexico were ahead on three occasions and had almost beaten the Netherlands in the Round of 16 of the 2014 World Cup before two late goals sunk them.

Having fielded a number of notable players like Hugo Sanchez, Rafael Marquez, and Jared Borgetti, Mexico are surely a team not to be taken lightly.

El Tri’s all-time top goal scorer is Jared Borgetti, who has scored 46 goals in 89 appearances from 1997-2008.

However, Mexico’s all-time goal scoring record could well be the most recent record that would be reset as only one goal separates Jared Borgetti and Javier Hernandez, who has piled up 45 goals in 86 appearances for the national team.

Chicarito’s move from Manchester United to Bayer Leverkusen last year has been a good one as the Mexican striker has rejuvenated himself at Bayer and has been in prolific form lately.
