They say that the third time is the charm and that is what people cling to. Mexico team in the already close World Cup 2026, but according to the coldness of the numbers and the mathematical model of the famous German economist Joachim Klement, The Tricolor does not have great options and will be eliminated by Belgium at the start of the second round.
After this expert, who has predicted the winner of the last three World Cup editions of Brazil 2014, Russia 2018 and Qatar 2022, He put the Netherlands as the winner, he also took the opportunity to take the chances of winning for Mexico and according to his mathematical equation, he really killed the Aztec illusions.
MEXICO, FAR FROM THE TITLE? ACCORDING TO MATHEMATICS???
The economist Joachim Klement, famous for getting the last three world champions right, has he already made his prediction for 2026? and it does not bring good news for El Tri.

Not to go any further, Klement established that Mexico will finish as one of the best third places in the competition and that in the next phase the Belgian team will send one of the three host teams to rest. of this historic competition with forty eight teams spread across the headquarters of the United States, Mexico and Belgium.
The prognosis of this expert in the exact science of mathematics is undoubtedly a sure blow to the Mexican hopes that they hope that the third time will be the charm by serving as locals in a World Cup tournament and where not long ago, coach Javier Aguirre commented that the celebration of the World Cup is something unrepeatable, especially as locals, which is why he said he hopes to take advantage the home team as England did in 1966, but which has been replicated by Germany in 1974, Argentina 1978 and France 1998.
Mexico will face South Africa, South Korea and the Czech Republic in the first phase, but from there Klement places Mexico as the best third place, since he places South Korea as the leader of the group, without taking into account that the Mexican team on the two occasions that it has faced this team in a World Cup tournament has come out with flags displayed by winning 3-1 in France 1998 and 2-1 in Russia 2018.
Then he lists Czechia as second place and Mexico as one of the best third places along with teams like Scotland, United States, Ivory Coast, Sweden, Egypt, Norway and Algeriawhich will allow them to advance to the next phase, where they will face Belgium and that is where Mexico’s role in the 2026 World Cup will end.
Joachim Klement assured that these calculations do not represent a definitive prediction. These are probabilities based on statistics and background, so factors such as sports performance, tournament pressure and The surprises of a World Cup can change any scenario.
So, beyond forecasts, calculations, equations, simulations, Mexico knows its present and can manage its future based on that. where 120 million Mexicans wait for the hands of the clock to play to the Tricolor’s preference.
