Although Guardado had managed to reach the 178 matches with El Tri in the game against Peru, FIFA did not count the matches against Martinique and Guadeloupe, because they are not considered typical or ‘A’.
In the opinion of FIFA, these two matches are not valid for the Guarda brand because neither Martinique nor Guadeloupe are federations recognized by the governing body of world football.
According to the TUDN count, Guardado accumulates 179 matches with the Mexican national team, of which 177 are recognized as official by FIFA.
Debuted on 14 December 2005 against the national team of Hungary, and since then he has scored a total of 28 goals.
