Mexico didn’t exactly live up to expectations in their first match of the 2016 Olympics in Brazil, struggling to a 2-2 draw against Germany as they opened their defense of the gold medal they won in London in the 2012 Olympics. Now they have the opportunity to get things moving in the right direction again as they get ready to face Fiji.

Fiji made it to the Olympics by winning the 2015 Pacific Games in Papua New Guinea, but they are probably the weakest side in the tournament. South Korea battered them to the tune of an 8-0 win on Thursday, and Mexico will be looking to do that and much more if they can to get their confidence and momentum back. A big win can take them from a team that’s reeling back into confidence and a favored status, something El Tri want to manage as quickly as possible.
