Obed Vargas, Richard Ledezma, and Brian Gutierrez, players with Major League Soccer experience, became part of the 27-man roster for the Mexican national team called up by coach Javier Aguirre for the matches against Panama and Bolivia. The core of the roster is made up of Chivas players, with eight called up.

Without a doubt, the presence of Obed Vargas, who currently plays for the Seattle Sounders, as well as Richard Ledezma, formerly of New York City FC, and Brian Gutierrez of the Chicago Fire, demonstrates the contribution of Mexican-American players in North American soccer to the current Mexican national team, which will take players from Liga MX on this short tour of Central and South America.

It's certainly an interesting roster, with the core being Chivas Guadalajara, with eight players including Raul Rangel, Richard Ledezma, Bryan Gonzalez, Luis Romo, Roberto Alvarado, and Brian Gutierrez.

Gutierrez, Armando Gonzalez, and Angel Sepulveda demonstrate the excellent form the Guadalajara team is in under the leadership of Argentine Gabriel Milito. The list also includes players like Gilberto Mora and Iker Fimbres, who, along with Obed Vargas, played in the U-20 World Cup held last September in Chile, where Mexico was eliminated in the quarterfinals by Argentina. The list also includes players like Kevin Castaneda of Xolos Tijuana, Denzell Garcia of FC Juarez, Everaldo Lopez of Toluca, and Eduardo Aguila of Atletico de San Luis, who had not been considered in previous call-ups. The list is completed with seemingly permanent fixtures such as Luis Malagon, Ramon Juarez, and Israel Reyes of America; Jorge Sanchez, Erik Lira, and Carlos Rodriguez of Cruz Azul; Jesus Gallardo and Marcel Ruiz of Toluca; and German Berterame, along with Carlos Acevedo of Santos Laguna, and Diego Lainez.

It should be noted that this list is only made up of Liga MX players since these are not official matches governed by FIFA,whose date for holding this type of match is scheduled for March 28 against Portugal at the Azteca Stadium (Banorte) and Belgium in the city of Chicago.

For this reason, players who play in European leagues such as Raul Jimenez, Cesar Montes, Johan Vazquez and Edson Alvarez, among others, do not appear.

The complete list

The complete list is made up of the following: Goalkeepers: Luis Malagon (America), Raul Rangel (Chivas) and Carlos Acevedo (Santos Laguna); Defenders: Jorge Sanchez (Cruz Azul), Victor Guzman (Monterrey), Israel Reyes (America), Ramon Juarez (America), Eduardo Aguila (Atletico San Luis), Everardo Lopez (Toluca), Jesus Gallardo (Toluca), Bryan Gonzalez (Chivas), Richard Ledezma (Chivas), Luis Romo (Chivas); Midfielders: Erick Lira (Cruz Azul), Denzell Garcia (FC Juarez), Iker Fimbres (Monterrey), Carlos Rodriguez (Cruz Azul), Obed Vargas (Seattle Sounders).

The Liga MX will postpone its Matchday 4 schedule due to the games against Panama and Bolivia. On Thursday the 22nd, they will face the Panamanian national team, and on Sunday the 25th, they will face Bolivia. This will allow the coach to assess whether some of these recently called-up players have what it takes to continue on the road to the World Cup.
