Why Mexico can win

The defensive-minded Mexico squad have logged four clean sheets in the competition, and blanked the United States 2-0 in an international friendly this past October. Goalkeeper Luis Malagon has been solid in net, and has not allowed a goal since a 3-2 win over the Dominican Republic in the group stage. The 28-year-old, who plays for America in the Liga Mexico, logged 29 starts this past season and registered 10 clean sheets. In 29 starts, he allowed just 27 goals and had a 74.2 saves percentage.

Helping lead the Mexican offense is forward Raul Jimenez. The 34-year-old scored the only goal in the win over Honduras and had another in the 3-2 win over the Dominican Republic in group play. In 30 starts for Brighton & Hove Albion of the English Premier League, he scored 12 goals and added three assists this past season. He also took 95 shots with 32 on target.
