Historically, the Mexican national team – known as ‘El Tri’ – has never exactly been renowned for its sporting achievements. The country reached the quarter-finals in 1970 and 1986. However, football is part of everyday life in every family and every village in Mexico. On 11 June, the country will host its third World Cup, a first in history, much to the delight of an entire nation that lives and breathes football.
