## Resource

Mexico’s World Cup hopes are soaring on an eight-game unbeaten streak, but real challenges loom as they face tougher opponents in the knockout rounds. Coach Javier Aguirre must make tough calls: should Edson Álvarez stay captain despite shaky form, or hand the midfield anchor role to Érik Lira? The right-back spot is up for grabs between Jorge Sánchez and Israel Reyes, while midfielders Álvaro Fidalgo and Brian Gutiérrez threaten to sideline Luis Chávez and young Gilberto Mora. And in goal, Raúl Rangel looks steady—but Guillermo Ochoa’s legendary legacy could still demand one last shot. This tournament’s success hinges on whether this momentum can survive elite competition.
