FIFA Confederations Cup: Brazil vs Mexico [19/06/2013] At 8pm

DID YOU KNOW?
   

Mexico emerged victorious in the last full international between these two sides, defeating Brazil 2-0 in Texas last June.     El Tri also dispatched Selecao 2-1 in the final of the men’s football tournament at the 2012 summer Olympic Games.     Fourteen players from the gold medal game will make the trip to Fortaleza on Wednesday, though Leandro Damiao, who topped the scoring charts in London, was ruled out of Brazil’s Confederations Cup squad through injury.

Brazil have won 14 of the 23 clashes between the two sides, outscoring Mexico 44 goals to 25 in the process.

Julio Cesar and Thiago Silva, on 70 and 65 caps respectively, are the only players in the Brazil squad to top a half century of appearances for the senior national team.

By contrast, Mexico can list eight squad members who have played more than 50 international games, with Gerardo Torrado and Carlos Salcido boasting 255 caps between them – while Andres Guardado is five away from his century.

At 25. Javier Hernandez (pictured, left) is already the fifth highest Mexican goalscorer of all time, with 33 strikes in 51 matches, and needs only 13 more goals to equal Jared Borgetti’s record tally of 46.
