2026 FIFA World Cup: Mexico vs South Korea; June 18, 2026

SK looked ok, its gonna be a good game.

 

SK and they wear red? @Sanchito has a new favorite team.

 

We have to be careful with Lee

 

Gotta win this one or it could come down to goal differential that we didn't score enough vs S Africa.

I also think Montes is overrated so I don't expect a big dropoff if we play Alvarez/Romo/Reyes in his place.

 

Way to go, El Tri...not a bad start!

 

And style under Aguirre

he keeps ending up as the on ball / play creating midfielder and that’s not his traditional role. He did it all gold cup and it was super choppy and chaotic

 

aguirre knows Lee KangIn well


gonna be a banger

 

meant to include this

 

Subs.

anybody try to learn a little Korean? I think it’s kinda tough

 

What really sucks right now, is that based on our starters in first game, we have zero threat on free kicks. If he thinking Chavez, maybe that's why

 

Isnt Rulas good at free kicks or am I tripping?

 

Oh I thought you were talking about direct kicks.

 

So who to take Montes’ spot, Edson or Romo? Or do we move Reyes to CB and have Jorge Sanchez start as RB?

I also think this would be the type of game where having Mateo Chavez start over Gallardo would be more ideal considering how much quicker he is than Gallardo

 

Sub

hope the rumors of mora starting are true, if so vasco is breaking his curse of stupidity

 

Some hopium about the possibility of Sanchez starting, remember when us old heads were terrified of Maza Rodriguez starting in the 2014WC? Then he did fine, Maybe..

 

He did alright but his error in the Netherlands game lead to Moreno breaking his leg

 

Highlights from the game in Santa Clara in 2025. Game ended 2-2 with goals by Jiménez and Giménez for Mexico (Son and Oh Hyeon-Gyu scored for Korea). Aguirre's starters that day:

• GK: Raúl Rangel
• DF: Mateo Chávez, Johan Vásquez, Juan Jose Sanchez, Rodrigo Huescas
• MF: Marcel Ruiz, Érick Sánchez, Érik Lira
• FW: Hirving Lozano, Raúl Jiménez, Germán Berterame
• Substitutes: Luis Malagón (GK), Carlos Moreno (GK), Chiquito Sánchez, Alexis Vega, Santiago Giménez, Diego Lainez, Orbelín Pineda, Charly Rodríguez, Jesús Orozco, Jesús Gallardo, Piojo Alvarado.
