Mexico are a familiar face at the World Cup, with an impressive track record. However, they are not in a good place.

Their recent 3-2 loss to Colombia dominated the headlines back home after Gerardo 'Tata' Martino's side let slip a 2-0 lead, with the Record newspaper describing El Tri's "sinking ship" as the 'Tritanic'.

"Tata's squad is sinking. It sailed at full speed and dominated the first half with goals from [Alexis] Vega and [Gerardo] Arteaga, but Colombia came back and Mexico melted in an embarrassing manner," Record said on its front page.

The defeat was Mexico's second in three matches after they were beaten 1-0 by Paraguay before edging Peru 1-0.

Newspaper ESTO also focused on the manner of the defeat.

"The Tricolor had two faces, one good first half and a second one where they didn't know how to react," it reported. "The worrying thing is that there are seven weeks to go until the Tricolor appears in Doha against Poland. Colombia exposed all of Mexico's shortcomings."

Reforma's Cancha newspaper was far more succinct with a one-word headline, "Disappointment".

Mexico play two more warm-up games against Sweden and Iraq in November before heading to Qatar for their World Cup Group C opener against Poland on Nov 22.

Mexico World Cup 2022 squad

World Cup squads are usually announced around six weeks before the World Cup starts. This year the World Cup will run from November 20 to December 18.

Who are likely to be the star names in the squad?

In terms of quality, Raul Jimenez is likely to be top of the starting line-up in Qatar, however, he has struggled this season with a chronic groin injury which has kept him out of his Wolves side since August 31. Jimenez has a view to making it to Qatar, and both his club and national team are optimistic that the 30-goal international will be back to full fitness by mid-November.

Elsewhere, captain and defensive midfielder Andrés Guardado has 175 caps, as well as a notable club career that has included the likes of PSV and Valencia.

Napoli forward Hirving Lozano may be one to watch. He has played 15 times for the Serie A leaders this season, including coming off the bench in a 4-1 win against Liverpool in the Champions League.

What are Mexico's fixtures?

Mexico are in Group C alongside Argentina, Saudi Arabia and Poland.

Nov 22: Mexico vs Poland, Stadium 974, 4pm GMT (7pm local time)

Nov 26: Argentina vs Mexico, Lusail Iconic Stadium, 7pm (10pm local time)

Nov 30: Saudi Arabia vs Mexico, Lusail Iconic Stadium, 7pm (10pm local time)

What is Mexico's World Cup record?

This will be Mexico's 17th appearance at the World Cup, a number that only Brazil, Germany, Italy and Argentina have exceeded.

Mexico and Brazil are the only two nations to make it out of the group stage over the last seven World Cups, but Mexico have failed to progress beyond the final 16 at each of the last eight World Cups.

Mexico reached the quarter-finals of the 1970 and 1986 tournaments, in which they placed sixth.

As a standout team in the Americas, Mexico have won 11 confederation titles, including eight Concacaf Gold Cups and three of its precursor, the CONCACAF Championship.

  • Taking on debt for summer travel? You're not alone

    The summer travel season is around the corner. But with high inflation and interest rates, there are questions about the health of the US consumer heading into the summer. A new Bankrate survey found that more than one-third of Americans are willing to take on debt for travel. Bankrate Senior Industry Analyst Ted Rossman joins Wealth! to give insight into the health of the consumer during the summer travel season. When asked who specifically was willing to take on debt, Rossman responds, "Millennials, actually, they love their experiences. They are more likely to be splurging on travel. Where it really stood out was a different recent study we did, we asked not only about travel but also dining and concerts and sporting events and other live entertainment, that's where people under the age of 40 really stood out."

  • UPDATE 1-Dollar sags after US GDP and inflation surprise, except against yen

    While the dollar was hardly shaken against the beleaguered yen, it otherwise saw only a brief gain after the Commerce Department reported that U.S. gross domestic product grew at a 1.6% annualized rate in the January-March period, slower than the 2.4% rate expected by economists polled by Reuters. The inflation surprise puts an even greater-than-usual focus on the release on Friday of PCE price index data for March. The yen, meanwhile, hit a fresh 34-year low versus the dollar and a 16-year low against the euro on Thursday as investors expect a Bank of Japan (BOJ) policy meeting that ends on Friday to not be hawkish enough to support the Japanese currency.

  • GOP mulls next move after Kansas governor vetoes effort to help Texas in border security fight

    Kansas' governor is blocking an attempt by Republican legislators to give the state's National Guard a “border mission" of helping Texas in its partisan fight with the Biden administration over illegal immigration. Top Republicans in the Kansas House were considering Thursday whether their chamber can muster the two-thirds majority necessary to override Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly's veto of immigration provisions in the next state budget. Kelly on Wednesday vetoed a budget provision that would have directed her administration to confer with Texas' Republican governor, Greg Abbott, and send Kansas National Guard personnel or equipment to the border.
