Being in the top 5 of the teams with the most participations in World Cups has generated El Tri one of the negative records that very few would like to have in the biggest soccer event in the world. And it is that Mexico is the team with the most defeats in the entire history of the World Cups, with 27.
The Aztec country has been present in 15 World Cups, being the fourth team that has achieved more classifications above nations such as Spain, England and France (12), in addition to Uruguay and Belgium (12).
Only Argentina (14), Germany and Italy (18) And Brazil (Never missed a World Cup date), surpass Mexico in World Cup participations.
However, the Tricolor trails having lost in 27 occasions, a fact that will have to be broken in the Qatar World Cup 2022 even if it turns out a difficult task. The other team with the most losses is Lionel Messi’s Argentina with 23 (To the which will have to be measured in the Group Phase), followed by Germany with 22.
Thus, Mexico must have a fairly clean group stage and win their three games against Poland, Argentina and Saudi Arabia and thus give a break to the negative data that is following them.
Another negative record that El Tri will try to break
For Argentina and Germany it is not so heavy to carry on their shoulders the fact of being the second and third team with the most defeats, since the balance is balanced considering that for usually both fall in instances of semifinals or finals.
In fact, the light blue (550 / 2014 / 2014) and the Teutons (1970 / 1982 / 1986) are the teams with the most World Cup finals lost .
But the case of Tri is different, since it has more than 27 years that did not exceed the round of 16 in World Cups; The last time this stage happened was in the World Cup in Mexico 1970, when it reached the quarterfinals.
Now, the Tri commanded by the Argentine Gerardo Tata Martino, will seek the long-awaited fifth match in the Qatar World Cup 2022 .
