It's a sacred jinx that has lasted for 24 years
Mexico kneeled at the end of the penalty shot after struggling 1-1 against Bulgaria in the World Cup. It was the beginning of the jinx.
At the 1998 World Cup in Germany, I met Germany in the round of 16, losing to Oliver Weierhoff in the second half, losing a last painful goal and losing 1-2. .
At the Korea-Japan World Cup 2002, Korea lost 0-2 to the United States and was eliminated again in the round of 16. At the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany, where he met Argentina, he scored a goal in the second half of the second half.
At the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Argentina again met in the round of 16 and fell to 1-3.
The 2014 World Cup in Brazil is also a sad memory for Mexico. In the 16th round of the match against the Netherlands, he gave an extra penalty to score 1-2.
Mexico, who lost their place in the quarter-finals, seemed lucky in the 2018 Russian World Cup.
The first defending champion of the group stage defeated all expectations in the match against Germany and won 1-0. In the return leg against Korea, they won 2-1.
Mexico seemed to avoid Group E in the round of 16 with Group F in first place.
However, the last match was a 0-3 loss to Sweden.
South Korea defeated Germany 2-0 and barely won a ticket to the knockout stages.
At the end of the twists, the Mexican players who reached the round of 16 came with a determined spirit.
Important players such as Javier Hernández, Miguelayín and Carlos Salcedo dyed their hair in white, revealing a strong desire to escape from discomfort.
However, Mexico once again cried in the jinx.
It's time to commit to the Qatar World Cup in 2022, four years later, with a defeat against Brazil.
In the World Cup, jinks that could not penetrate the Brazilian goalkeeper came.
In the fifth match of the World Cup with Brazil, he lost only one game to four defeats, scoring 13 points and scoring 0 in five games.
