Strengths
Only 6 losses in 45 matches — very hard to beat. Lyle Foster (4 goals) leads a young attack. Strong qualifying (5W-3D-2L). Excellent defensive record (0.84 conceded).
Weaknesses
19 draws in 45 matches — draw too many games. 44.4% win rate. Face Mexico (hosts) in the opening match. Limited attacking output.
Key Players
Lyle Foster (4 goals), Percy Tau, Ronwen Williams
Our Prediction
Opening match against hosts Mexico at Azteca will be a baptism of fire. Will compete in Group A but progression depends on results elsewhere.
