Mexico coach and former Barcelona manager Gerardo Martino will be hoping to keep a current Barcelona player quiet as Mexico launches its World Cup campaign, and it's not just Robert Lewandowski that he will have to contend with. The ‘fourth game curse’ has seen El Tri eliminated in the last 16 of every world cup since 1994. Most of the country’s players ply their trade in Mexico’s own domestic league but some have moved to Europe. The likes of Napoli’s Hirving Lozano, Ajax’s Edson Álvarez and Wolves’ Raúl Jiménez are some of the most important players in the side. Another European-based star, Sevilla’s Jesus Corona is usually one of the first teams on the team sheet but will, unfortunately, miss the tournament through injury. 

Despite boasting one of the best strikers in the world in Lewandowski, Poland have not performed to expectations on the international stage. Having not reached the knockout stage since the 1986 World Cup, hopes were high at the 2018 edition of the tournament, but The White Eagles finished bottom of their group. To assist Lewandowski, manager Czeslaw Michniewicz can call upon plenty of players with top European pedigree. Piotr Zielinski and Wojciech Szczęsny are two of the first names on the teamsheet for two of Italy’s biggest clubs while Matty Cash is a Premier League regular at Aston Villa. 

With Argentina the heavy favorites for Group C and Saudi Arabia seen as underdogs, the Mexico vs Poland live stream could almost be considered a playoff for a spot in the knockout rounds, and well worth a watch. 

Here's how they lineup: 

Mexico: Ochoa, Sanchez, Montes, Moreno, Alvarez, Gallardo, Herrera, Chavez, Vega, Lozano, Martin.

Poland: Szczesny, Cash, Kiwior, Glik, Berezynski, Krychowiak, Kaminski, Zalewski, Zielinski, Szymanski, Lewandowski.
