Mexico will play against Cuba, Guatemala and Trinidad and Tobago in the group stage of the 2015 Gold Cup.

Overall, it seems like a fairly easy group. As long as the players take it seriously and don't show overconfidence, El Tri should qualify to the knockout stage with no problems.

Cuba barely qualified to the tournament after they finished fourth in the Caribbean Cup. Furthermore, all of their footballers play in the local league and are veterans.

Guatemala depends a lot on Marco Pappa, who last year proved his worth in the MLS. He appeared 33 times in 2014 and put the ball away six times. He also managed to create 45 goal opportunities, per Squawka.



Meanwhile, Trinidad and Tobago will bring their speed and strength to the pitch hoping that it will be enough to make a difference.

Mexico needs to win if they want to appear in the playoff match against the United States, in which they'll battle to decide what side will attend the 2017 Confederations Cup.

So what happens after El Tri reach the quarterfinals?

If they advance as group winners, then they'll face one of the best third places of the competition, which most likely won't be United States or Costa Rica.

That leaves us with Canada, Panama, El Salvador, Jamaica, Haiti or Honduras/Guiana. From those, Honduras is the side that could make El Tri sweat the most.

They have faced each other 29 times, in which Mexico have won 17, tied six and lost six.

In the semifinals, they would face Costa Rica. This would be Mexico's toughest match after having played four games.

If nothing weird happens, then El Tri will play against the United States in the final showdown. A victory for the hosts would automatically give them the Confederations Cup ticket.



Miguel Herrera will probably take a squad that will look a lot like the one he used in last...
