Mexico and Greece begin their treks at the 2013 Under-20 World Cup with what should be an intriguing matchup.

Both countries will be looking to finish at the top of Group D. The group also includes Mali and Paraguay, so it's definitely up for grabs.

With only three matches in the group stage, teams won't want to be starting off with a loss. It only makes things that much tougher in the next two matches.

Here's a quick preview of Mexico vs. Greece.

 

When: Saturday, June 22, at 11 a.m. ET

Where: Kamil Ocak Stadium, Gaziantep, Turkey

Watch: ESPN

Live Stream: ESPN3

 

What's at Stake

As with the group stage of any international tournament, it's important to pick up three points early. You can't decide your fate after only one match, but you can certainly send it in one direction.



With a win, a team will pretty much need only a draw in the final two matches to at least get through to the knockout stage. A loss doesn't doom you to an early exit, but it leaves you with a lot of work to do in your final two matches.

The highest-ranked third-place teams will also advance, so it's important to pick up as many points as possible while keeping the goal differential very friendly as well.

For Greece, this is an opportunity to build upon the success of the 2013 Under-19 Euros. They did very well, and the future looks bright for Greek football. That's in stark contrast to the state of the Greek Super League, as clubs are having money problems as the nation's economy has tanked.

Mexico will want to continue dominating at the youth level. El Tri finished third at the 2011 U-20 World Cup and won gold at the 2011 Pan American Games. The country has completely revamped its youth system, and the results have been very impressive. The success and talent is there for everyone to see.
