The Mexican national team still has a big question mark before the 2026 World Cup. It is still unknown who will be El Tri's starting goalkeeper at the World Cup. Miguel Herrera, former national team coach, believes that starting position belongs to Guillermo Ochoa. This is a decision that has generated debate. Mexican soccer, there are those who believe that the starting goalkeeper position for Mexico should be given to Angel Malagon or Raul Rangel. But "El Piojo" (Herrera's nickname) believes that position belongs to Guillermo Ochoa because of all his experience. "For me, as Miguel Herrera, and because of the World Cups he has played in, Guillermo Ochoa has to be the starting goalkeeper for the Mexican national team in this World Cup... Tributes to former players in the Mexican national team are not given, only in friends, not in World Cups," Herrera said. Miguel Herrera believes that another goalkeeper has the opportunity in his hands. "Piojo" Herrera believes Raul Rangel can earn the right to play minutes in the World Cup, but it all depends on his performance with Chivas in the 2025 Liga MX Clausura tournament. "If 'Tala' Rangel has a great tournament, he's the only one who can be a starter besides Memo (...) Memo will be at the World Cup," Herrera added. Interestingly, Rangel has had a great performance in his first two matches of the season with Chivas. "Tala" hasn't conceded a goal. Guillermo Ochoa at the World Cups: The 40-year-old goalkeeper has extensive World Cup experience. Guillermo Ochoa has been with Mexico at World Cups since Germany 2006. However, his first start was in Brazil 2014 in the 1-0 victory against Cameroon. Since then, "Memo" has played 11 World Cup matches. The former Club America goalkeeper has played 990 uninterrupted minutes defending the goal for El Tri. In the World Cup, Ochoa has conceded 12 goals and kept a clean sheet 4 times.
