If you are a Football lover then you are searching for Mexico National Football Team Vs Jamaica National Football Team Lineups for future match guess.
Mexico increased their efforts and looked more dangerous, with Luis Chavez and Santiago Gimenez both having chances that required excellent saves from Jahmali Waite in goal.
Mexico are two-time Copa America runners-up but could be in for an upset against Heimir Hallgrimsson’s side. Mexico have named an experienced lineup, including Feyenoord striker Santiago Gimenez as part of their squad.
Julian Quinones
Julian Quinones is on the verge of becoming a Mexican citizen and will soon be eligible to play for El Tri. This week he trained with El Tri in preparation for their two friendly matches against Australia and Uzbekistan. At 26 years old, this winger has enjoyed his entire professional career in Mexico while representing under-20 level national team before ever making an appearance with senior side.
Quinones has generated much discussion among fans on social media regarding whether or not his inclusion should be accepted into the squad, with many criticizing his presence at training sessions as being racist or homophobic. While such views do exist among many individuals and fans who appear xenophobic themselves, a significant portion of fans do support this decision.
El Tri manager Javier Aguirre has named a 27-man roster to face Honduras both at home and away in CONCACAF Nations League matches, starting next weekend. Club America winger Julian Quinones hails from Colombia but has played in Mexico since 2016 while being on loan from Tigres to Atlas this season and scoring six goals over 12 matches.
Quinones has proven himself an asset for Mexico despite being relatively inexperienced at soccer, emerging as one of their primary attacking options. His understanding of the game combined with his speed make him difficult for opponents to deal with, while he’s a solid tackler and possess great vision – qualities which made Quinones standout at Mexico.
Although Aguirre’s decision to select an inexperienced team may appear risky, it’s essential if Mexico wants to secure victory against the United States. Without Christian Pulisic in their ranks, America are undefeated against El Tri in seven previous matches and remain undefeated against El Tri themselves.
Edson Alvarez
Edson Alvarez described becoming Mexico captain as the crowning achievement of his career, which included appearances at two Copa America finals and being two-time runners-up himself. Furthermore, as dean of Mexico’s young squad he will lead them against Jamaica at NRG Stadium in Houston Texas.
Javier Aguirre’s first squad as head coach has undergone several changes, yet familiar names have been left off of it. It remains to be seen if these will be replaced by players from Premier League clubs or not.
Jamaica will be a test for Mexico’s younger players and should give Aguirre an idea of the kind of team he will have to work with going forward. He has already tried out new formations and tactics but hopes to build on last weekend’s 2-2 draw with Valencia by creating more goalscoring opportunities against his countrymen.
Mexico and Jamaica face each other as part of the 2019 Concacaf Gold Cup tournament in June, both teams having good chances at qualifying for its knockout rounds. They will be joined by Venezuela and Ecuador and both would like to avoid defeat at this early stage. Even with Jamaica’s poor form in qualifying, Coach Heimir Hallgrimsson remains optimistic of a win against Mexico in this matchup despite their struggles. Instead, he believes this match can serve as an opportunity to kick-off their Gold Cup campaign strongly. However, he hasn’t forgotten that Jamaica is still an elite team and shouldn’t be expected to produce miraculous performances. That being said, they have won two Gold Cups since 2012 and remain undefeated in six games against Mexican opposition.
Orbelin Pineda
Orbelin Pineda was born and raised in Reyes Heroles and quickly immersed himself into its rich football culture. At an early age he joined his first youth team, soon becoming an integral member. Later he went on to make his professional debut for Chivas Guadalajara – making his Liga MX debut in 2016 – winning several major championships alongside donning number 7 on their national team roster.
Pineda brings his unique style of play to the Mexico national team. He excels at both defending and passing, which have enabled him to succeed in Liga MX – one of North America’s premier leagues – where his skills made an impressionful mark on matches played there. As such, his presence makes an invaluable addition to Mexico’s squad, contributing significantly in making their matches successful.
Javier Aguirre has chosen an experienced yet youthful roster for Mexico’s forthcoming friendlies against New Zealand and Canada, with veteran players such as Guillermo Ochoa and Raul Jimenez sitting out. Furthermore, two players who are newcomers to national team play – Obed Vargas and German Berterame – were called up.
Edson Alvarez of Monterrey could earn his inaugural cap in this match, as he is set to start alongside Santiago Gimenez at center back. It would be an exciting opportunity for the 24-year-old defender who has been an integral member of his club side’s recent success as well as impressing national team coaches with his play; should he get selected, expect him to seize the moment!
Santiago Gimenez
Santiago Gimenez entered Mexico’s Gold Cup final as an unexpected substitute, yet became its hero. The striker scored the game-winner in the 88th minute when he beat one defender before unleashing a low shot past Orlando Mosquera for Mexico to claim their ninth Gold Cup championship and its ninth championship overall. Gimenez’s heroics provided much-needed respite eight months after the team failed to advance past group stage of World Cup, two coaches later.
Gimenez, who currently plays for Feyenoord in the Dutch Eredivisie, is raising expectations among Mexican fans who believe he could become another legendary striker in their country’s long history of scorers. Recently he made a major step in his professional development by switching agents and signing with Rafaela Pimenta – known for representing elite players such as Erling Haaland and Matthijs de Ligt – as his representative.
Feyenoord striker Feyenoord striker Maarten van der Weert had scored four goals in seven appearances this season for Feyenoord when he was carried off on a stretcher after 28 minutes of Sunday’s Eredivisie match against NAC Breda in Eredivisie. While pressing Breda’s backline, van der Weerd extended his leg to block a pass when something felt amiss with his right thigh and immediately felt discomfort in his right thigh area.
Gimenez’s injury raises concerns for Mexico’s upcoming matches and Javier Aguirre will likely turn to other options at forward – Hirving “Chucky” Lozano scored one in Mexico’s win against Panama – as an alternative attacker up front. Unfortunately, Lozano cannot return until at least next year so in the meantime his club must work tirelessly on maintaining his impressive form in Europe.
Uriel Antuna
Mexican national team may currently be flying under the radar, but with some outstanding performances they could come roaring out of their slump. El Tri begin their Copa America campaign on June 22 at NRG Stadium in Houston versus Jamaica and have managed two wins and one defeat from three warm-up games so far – including an alarming 4-0 loss against Uruguay where Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez scored three hat-tricks!
With the exception of Barcelona star Javier Hernandez, Mexico’s current squad consists primarily of Major League Soccer (MLS) players who are performing admirably this season. This should help Mexico overcome Jamaica, who have struggled in recent friendlies; plus Andres Guardado may add extra punch up front.
Antuna, a young Mexican winger, currently plays for Los Angeles Galaxy in Major League Soccer (MLS), starting all 16 of his team’s games this season. Additionally, he was part of Mexico Youth Teams as they participated in 2017 CONCACAF U-20 Championship and could prove invaluable assets for their national side.
Though not originally included on this tournament’s original roster, youngster Jorge Sanchez managed to secure a spot when Club America suffered an injury to Jorge Sanchez and made his debut. Impressively he played well in his debut and will likely prove integral for Team Canada during this tournament.
Jesus Gallardo scored 6/10 vs Ghana and played in 82 min against Germany as a substitute, showing some improvement from Arteaga going forward; however, Mexico’s starting left-back position remains undetermined. On the other hand, Johan Vasquez started against Ghana and played all 90 minutes against Germany with strong defensive work alongside Cesar Montes in his backline being key factors.
