A brief history: Mexico has been unable to move past the Round of 16 in the last five World Cups. They have made it to the quarterfinals in the past, last doing so in 1986.
Notable Former Players: Jorge Campos, Cuauhtémoc Blanco, Hugo Sánchez

An Uninformed Prediction: Mexico has a good chance to make it out of the group stage. Making it past the Round of 16 depends on who they are matched up with. If Mexico finishes as the runner-up in Group A, they will face off against the winner of Group B, which most likely will be either Spain or the Netherlands. So, it will be tough.
