Mexico striker Raul Jimenez attributes El Tri’s strong FIFA World Cup 2026 performance to team unity and determination. Jimenez, who has overcome injury setbacks, emphasized the squad’s focus and readiness for their upcoming Round of 16 match against England.
Having scored twice in the tournament, Jimenez’s recent goal against Ecuador marked his 47th international goal, surpassing Jared Borgetti on Mexico’s all-time scoring list. With a positive outlook on the challenge ahead, Jimenez highlighted the team’s cohesion and collective spirit under coach Javier Aguirre.
Jimenez, who has a history of scoring against England’s Jordan Pickford in the Premier League, expressed his commitment to giving his all in the upcoming game. His World Cup journey holds personal significance, with his first tournament goal dedicated to his late father, Raul Jimenez Vega, who passed away earlier this year.
