** B Team

1985 Record: 13 wins, 4 losses, 9 draws, 1 unknown.

Mexico is the first country allowed to repeat as World Cup host, and the
host automatically qualifies.  Many teams desire to play in Mexico to
get a feel for the likely climate and conditions, hence Mexico is
given the opportunity to play many good teams on home grounds.

Hosts usually do well, seeing Mexico in the quarterfinals, or even semi-
finals would not be a surprise.
