Alexis Vega, Luis Chávez and César Huerta ended up getting on the Mexico World Cup truck when the forecasts assured that Jesús Alejandro Gómez and Kevin Castañeda would have a place on the final list of 26 called up, but in the end “Vasco” Aguirre opted for the most experience of the first three.

The three names took away the expectation from the publication on social networks of the official announcement of the 26 World Cup players from Mexico, where no one will be satisfied, since for many specialists other players had greater merits, such as Carlos Rodríguez from Cruz Azul, Jordan Carrillo from Pumas, Richard Ledezma from Chivas, Everardo López and Marcel Ruiz from Toluca or Germán Berterame himself from Inter Miami.

A list that may have a lot of quality, but doubts arise due to the lack of rhythm of many players who are barely recovering from injuries, such as the case of César Huerta, Edson Álvarez, Santiago Giménez and Luis Chávez, who call into question the true capacity of the Tricolor.

At the end of the day, there are all those that Javier Aguirre believed in and for some, there are those who should not be there and for others, those who should be there were missing, but at the end of the day, these 26 players will have the great responsibility on their shoulders to show that Mexico has the arguments to make history.

The official list was planned to be released this Monday, June 1, but in the end it was decided to bring forward the publication of the 26 World Cup players due to the demands of FIFA, which ordered the release of all of the participating teams.
