Diego Cocca’s first lineup with the Mexican National Team
Diego Cocca does not have a full team in the match against Suriname, due to off-court issues, so, with the elements available he put together a very competitive starting XI.
Suriname is not an easy team, because it has grown a lot in these years, but if many of the great players in history had chosen to play with them, they would be a power.
Background between Suriname and Mexico
The Mexican National Team has only faced Suriname on a couple of occasions, both games with a positive balance for Mexico. The most recent in 2022, when ‘El Tri’ won 3-0, in the Nations League.
And we have to go back to 1977 for the first time these two teams crossed. There were eight goals that Mexico scored against Suriname for qualifying for the 1978 World Cup in Argentina.
