The Mexico vs Costa Rica match will be broadcast live online and on TV as El Tri hosts Los Ticos at the Estadio Universitario this Thursday, October 11, 2018, at 6:30 PM Pacific.
Mexico is on the same boat as several other national teams without a permanent manager as Ricardo Ferretti is currently the interim boss. Also like several after national teams after the World Cup, El Tri has been pushing a youth movement and that showed in this callup.
Ferretti called up 17 players, who are 25 years or younger including five players, who are 20 years or younger. Some of the more intriguing names on the squad include players like Gerardo Arteaga, Josecarlos Van Rankin, Javier Guemez and Henry Martin. But there are also some household names on the roster like Marco Fabian, Hirving Lozano, Nestor Araujo, Raul Jimenez and “Tecatitio” Corona.
Costa Rica has found its new coach in Gustavo Matosas, who had a successful run in Mexico with Leon, but he will not be on the sidelines for this match. Los Ticos are one of Mexico’s biggest foes in the CONCACAF region and should be very interesting under the leadership of Matosas.
A talented core of players was called up for these friendlies including top players like Joel Campbell, Keylor Navas and Bryan Ruiz. This will not be a walk in the park for Mexico as Costa Rica has an experienced roster along with some exciting youngsters.
