Mexico manager Juan Carlos Osorio has yet to lose a single one of his seven games in charge and has a wealth of talent to choose from for this month's Copa America Centenario.
That said, even if El Tri advances past the group stage, Brazil, Colombia or Argentina all have the ability to halt Mexico's chances. If Mexico wants to win the championship, some noteworthy names will need to step up during the tournament.
Here's a look at five key Mexico players to watch during the Copa America:
Javier Hernandez
You can't bring up Mexico without talking about Hernandez.
During the recent friendly victory over Chile, the striker once again solidified his importance for El Tri. After being introduced 12 minutes from time in the sold-out match in San Diego, it took Hernandez less than 10 minutes to find the game-winning goal.
The strike, scored on his 28th birthday, was his 44th for the national team. Hernandez is now just two behind all-time leader Jared Borgetti and will be keen on breaking the record this summer.
With 26 goals for Bayer Leverkusen in 2015-16, Hernandez is in fine form ahead of the tournament.
Miguel Layun
Layun provided the assist for Hernandez's game-winning goal during Wednesday night's victory over Chile. The defender's sublime cross was a small reminder of what he might be able to accomplish in the Copa America.
Layun is no stranger to assists, racking up 15 for Porto this season. If he can continue to transition this form to the national team, Mexico will be dangerous.
He is capable of scoring for his country too. As long as he can continue to fulfil his double-duty as a defender and an attacker, Mexico fans should feel hopeful with him in the starting XI.
Andres Guardado
If Hernandez is the heartbeat for Mexico, Guardado is the mind. The 29-year-old has the vision to help create moves and the intelligence to dictate the pace of a match. Guardado is a leader on the pitch and a tireless midfielder who is excellent with his distribution and interceptions.
With PSV Eindhoven, Guardado took charge in the midfield and helped carry the team to a second consecutive league title this season. The Mexican has honed his craft with the Dutch club and has genuinely looked a world class player in the Netherlands.
After winning the Golden Ball during last year's Gold Cup for Mexico, it became clear that Guardado was one of the most significant players on the roster.
Even when El Tri struggles, the midfielder has the talent and the leadership to help push the team on.
Hirving Lozano
Lozano has the potential to be a breakout player. While many people outside of Mexico are discussing big names like Rafael Marquez or Hernandez, the 20-year-old has the abilities to emerge as an unexpected star.
Mexico fans are already well-aware of the Pachuca youngster's talent and are eager to see him gain significant minutes for the national team. If Lozano is able to show off his skills with El Tri during the tournament, the chances of him moving to a big European club during the summer will continue to strengthen.
After recently winning the 2016 Clausura title with Pachuca, Lozano's morale and confidence will be at an all-time high. It has become increasingly obvious that a move abroad is necessary to further his talents, and the first step in reaching that goal is through great performances this summer in the Copa America and the Olympics.
Jesus Manuel Corona
Corona is a risk-taker. The 23-year-old has no inhibition when the ball is at his feet and is typically able to squeeze his way out of tough situations. This leads to a loss of possession far too often, but it also means he is able to create moments of magic.
For better or worse, the Porto winger plays like a schoolyard kid; unafraid to try a new move with almost no care for his limitations. This isn't a bad thing, and during a boring game it stands out as a breath of fresh air.
Keep an eye on the winger. Even during his worst match, he is always a second or two away from doing something incredible with the ball. If he continues to develop his game, Corona's raw talent gives him the potential to become one of Mexico's all-time greats.
