Mexico In the Mexican National Team there is a desire to
reach as many points as possible in the FIFA ranking to aspire to be one of the
eight heads of the next World Cup in Russia, although it is an almost
impossible mission.From Decio de MarÃa, president of the Mexican Football
Federation, to the players and coaches, have expressed their desire to maintain
the triumphs in the Final Hexagonal to gain the possibility of being in the
hype one for the draw of the World Cup, and with it avoid some of the powers in
the world.The problem is that to aim to become seeded, it must be one of the
top seven ranked in the FIFA Ranking for the month of November, something
unlikely even though it wins its three qualifying matches that are pending.

"For our part we will not stop doing anything to find
that goal, then the fate and decisions of FIFA have to opt for that to happen
and in December we see the name of Mexico in one of the eight," explained
De MarÃa Serrano in this regard . Currently, the Aztecan team is ranked 14th in
the FIFA rankings and can climb to 12th position for the next installment,
according to Alexis Tamayo, better known as Misterchip, an ESPN contributor.
The Tri would have to surpass five teams at least, to aspire to be part of the
hype one or, that some teams like Argentina, Portugal, Chile, Colombia and
Spain, that are better classified, suddenly they are outside of the World-wide
one.

At the moment, Brazil and Belgium, currently ranked one and
nine in the Ranking, would be seeded, as long as they maintain that position or
improve it in the case of the 'Red Devils', which would join Russia, combined
that being the host, has secured its place in group A of the next World Cup. A
factor that affected the Tri not having a simpler way to be part of the one
hype is not to have won the last Gold Cup, due to the points that stopped
winning it, losing to Jamaica in the Semifinals.
To define the seeds of the next World Cup, FIFA will be based
on its monthly ranking and obviously the selections. By October, some of the
top-ranked finishers in Germany, Argentina, Poland, Portugal, France and Spain
would complete their official participation in Russia 2018.
