Only one América man remains at the 2026 World Cup | OneFootball

The World Cup is nearing its final stage, with the Round of 16 about to wrap up and make way for the eight best teams in the world.

Unfortunately, it has not been a positive World Cup for the players who currently belong to América, as of the four who were called up, only one remains in the competition.

Sebastián Cáceres and Brian Rodríguez were the first to be knocked out after Uruguay was eliminated in the group stage; Cáceres played virtually every minute, while Brian only played 40′.

On Sunday night, it was the Mexican National Team’s turn to be eliminated after losing 2-3 to England in a very intense match, in which they were even the better side, but lacked the ideas needed to equalize.

Israel Reyes was the only one called up, and although he got some minutes, he did not manage to become an undisputed starter; he began the tournament as a starter against South Africa, then played 10′ minutes against Korea, started again against Czechia, and afterward was limited once more to just 10′ minutes against Ecuador. And in the decisive match, Javier Aguirre decided not to use him, so he saw no action against England.

Alejandro Zendejas, the only one still in contention.

The only Águilas player still in the competition is Alejandro Zendejas, as the United States National Team will play its Round of 16 match against Belgium tonight.

Although it is true that he is very unlikely to play, since, incredibly enough, he is one of the coaching staff’s last attacking options for the United States; in this World Cup he has played only 13 minutes.
