The Mexican team closed the group stage of the 2026 World Cup with a perfect pace. The United States and Canada were not able to win all their games. Fernando Hierro, former Spanish soccer player, highlighted the work of Javier Aguirre.

Fernando Hierro was closely linked to Mexican soccer due to his time with Chivas de Guadalajara. Hierro described Aguirre's great work on the Mexican bench.

“Fantastic, 9 points, something historic, you see it very well, fantastic management by Javier, removing the goalkeepers, all the field players have made their debut and I think it is very good, very healthy, that all the players feel involved, that all the players feel important,” said the former Real Madrid player.

In their first match, Mexico beat South Africa 2-0. The South Korean team was also unable to defeat El Tri (1-0 Mexican victory). On the last day they beat the Czech Republic with a 3-0 win. In this sense, the Aztec team closes the first phase with all the points and without any goals against.

The player who opened the Mexican victory against the Czech Republic was Mateo Chávez. Fernando Hierro shared with the Mexican soccer player during his time with Chivas. Hierro is happy with the young footballer's performance. “I'm very happy about everything, sweetheart, he deserves it for him,” he said.

The Mexican team has already guaranteed its place in the round of 32. This duel will take place on Tuesday, June 30 at the Mexico City Stadium (Azteca Stadium). El Tri's rival has yet to be defined.

This is how the 2026 World Cup is going
