This group would pair them with Switzerland (Pot 2), the dangerous Norway with Haaland (Pot 3), and the physical strength of Ghana (Pot 4). Similarly, Japan (Pot 2), Egypt (Pot 3), and the team that wins the UEFA Playoff A (Pot 4) - where Italy is - could pose a complicated group for the hopes of Javier Aguirre's boys.🤩 Groups of Luck: New Zealand, the Great WishThe great relief for the fans and the coaching staff would come with a combination that includes the team from Austria (Pot 2), the African Tunisia (Pot 3), and the theoretical Cinderella of Oceania, New Zealand (Pot 4), allowing Mexico to play their cards with greater ease.

The key difference lies in the quality of the UEFA teams and the distribution of confederations. Avoiding Switzerland and Norway in favor of Austria is crucial. The groups of death for Mexico are doubly dangerous because they include two of the best UEFA teams available in pots 2 and 3. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
