Mexico's One-To-Watch: Efrain Álvarez
The Mexican-American jewel is one Mexico's most important men in offense.
At 17 years of age, Álvarez already has top-flight football minutes under his belt, being LA Galaxy's youngest first team players and a promising prospect for the future.
A player with good technique and a fast decision-maker, he'll be crucial if Mexico hopes to reach the final.

Netherland's 2019 U17 World Cup campaign
The orange side also struggled quite a bit during their opening matches in this tournament. Japan put on quite an exhibition to defeat them by 3-0 and Senegal was also able to go over them by a 3-1 margin.
After that, it's being an impressive three match run with convicing wins over the USA, Nigeria and Paraguay.
Mexico's 2019 U17 World Cup campaign
Mexico did not have a strong start to this World Cup with a draw against Paraguay and losing to Italy in the group stage.
In the Round of 16, they defeated Japan in very convincing fashion, while their quarter final match Korea was well solved.
Netherlands looking for their first U17 champinship game
The Dutch team has not had an important presence in this type of tournament.
This is only their fourth appeareance in a U17 World Cup, with their best result coming in 2005 when they reached the third place.
Overcoming Mexico in this tie would give them their most important historic position.
Mexico looking for their 4th U17 World Cup Final
The Mexicans have proved during the last 15 years that their U17 squad is one to be reckoned with at the category's World Cup.
Since 2005, "El Tri" has been involved in three finals out of the 7 played in said period. A win over the Netherlands today would mean Mexico's presence in 50% of finals since the tournament was held in Peru.
