The arrival

High expectation
In this Gold Cup, one of the highest expectations in the Mexican squad is related to the performance of naturalized Mexican striker Rogelio Funes Mori, a player who is a key player in his club and who has great possibilities of being the architect of Gerardo Martino's offensive line.
Statements Hector Herrera
Prior to tonight's match, Hector Herrera spoke at a press conference about the Mexican National Team's expectations for this Gold Cup.
"We have always been demanding. We have always had the obligation to win, too. The truth is that we want to win every tournament we play and we are not thinking about what people will say. If we win, nothing happens, and if we lose, criticism comes. There is always criticism and that is the least important thing. The most important thing is to focus on the start of the tournament and go step by step to achieve our objective", commented the Atletico de Madrid player.

Trinidad and Tobago: In search of a surprise
Trinidad and Tobago has had good results in its previous matches, but has done so against relatively inferior opponents such as French Guiana, Montserrat and Saint Kitts and Nevis. In their most recent match, the Trinidadians overcame French Guiana after a series of 16 penalty kicks in the preliminary phase to qualify for Group A and make their debut against Mexico.
Mexico: The favorite to win
The Mexican National Team is the favorite to win this edition of the Gold Cup, since the United States will be playing with a "B" team and there are some important absences in other teams, such as Keylor Navas in Costa Rica and Alphonso Davies in Canada. Coach Gerardo 'Tata' Martino's pupils will be looking to start the tournament on the right foot in order to advance to the next round and maintain their status as favorites. In their most recent match, Mexico thrashed the Nigerian National Team 4-0 in a friendly match.
The match will be played at the AT&T Stadium
The Mexico vs Trinidad and Tobago match will be played at the stadium AT&T, in Texas, United States, with a capacity of 100,000 people. It is located in Arlington, Texas, United States and is home to the NFL team, the Dallas Cowboys.
