The debate over Mexico's attacking lineup for the 2026 World Cup is more intense than ever, and recent comments from Javier Aguirre have only fanned the flames. What did he say? In a pre-match press conference ahead of the game against Belgium, the strategist acknowledged that Armando 'Hormiga' González is having a great moment at Chivas, but made it clear that internal competition remains fierce. The Mexican coach spared no praise for the young forward, highlighting his goal-scoring ability and growth over the last two tournaments. However, he also brought up the hierarchy and consistency of Raúl Jiménez, who, thanks to his experience and constancy, is seen as the top candidate to start in the World Cup. Santiago Giménez has also shown great qualities at Cruz Azul and Feyenoord, although it has been tougher for him at Milan, especially now with his injury.
