Mexico team news, focus
Cesar Montes has been terrific at both ends for El Tri, scoring thrice and overseeing a team which has not allowed a goal since conceding twice in a 3-2 tournament-opening win. West Ham United's Edson Alvarez leads a strong midfield, and Raul Jimenez and Santiago Gimenez give Javier Aguirre plenty of danger up top
Saudi Arabia team news, focus
The Saudis have only conceded two goals in this tournament, a record bettered only by the USMNT and Canada. They've defended with vigor, racking up hard tackles and clearances as a measure of pride. Al Ittihad back Abdulelah Al Amri has been a standout for the Herve Renard's Green Falcons, but they'll have to find goals to advance in this tournament.
Mexico vs Saudi Arabia prediction
It's difficult to do this, but do it — forget the fact that the Saudis beat Argentina at the 2024 World Cup. If you're not willing to forget that result, which was three years ago, think of it as the first match of a 2W-9L-1D run that included losses to Oman and Bolivia. Arizona is going to be a veritable home atmosphere for El Tri, who would be favored on a neutral ground, and the Saudis are missing their Al-Hilal representation (12 different Al-Hilal players have been called up in the next 12 months). This would be a stunner if it didn't go the way of Javier Aguirre's El Tri. Mexico 2-0 Saudi Arabia.

Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte reveals fan who brought him to tears shouted he messaged his late mother
Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte said a fan in Chicago who brought him to tears during a game against the White Sox this week shouted that he messaged his late mother the previous night. The two-time All-Star revealed what was said during an interview with Spanish-language journalist Yancen Pujols . 'A fan was up on the dugout shouting things about my mother,' he said. 'He was like, 'Last night I sent a message to your mother.'' Marte was seen in tears on the field after the 22-year-old spectator yelled a derogatory comment about Marte's late mother during a seventh-inning at-bat in Arizona's 4-1 win over Chicago on Tuesday night. Major League Baseball banned the fan indefinitely from all stadiums the following day. Marte's mother, Elpidia Valdez, died in a car accident in the Dominican Republic in 2017. He said he's used to being taunted, but had never been heckled about his mom. He said what made it more painful for him was the Diamondbacks were in Chicago to play the Cubs when she died. 'We have to do something about the fans; they're going too far,' he said. 'They always shout things about me, but not about my mother. Everyone knows that my mother died in an accident. And nothing. We're praying for him, for the guy who shouted, and for his family, you know? May God protect him. May God protect him and cleanse his heart. They always shout things at me but I don't pay attention, but when they talk about my mother, it's a different story.' ___ AP MLB:

Deontay Wilder Vs. Tyrrell Herndon Results And Full Card Results
RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA - DECEMBER 23: Deontay Wilder punches Joseph Parker during the WBC ... More International & WBO Intercontinental Heavyweight title fight between Deontay Wilder and Joseph Parker during the Day of Reckoning: Fight Night at Kingdom Arena on December 23, 2023 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. (Photo by) Former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder is back in the ring for the first time in 2025. Wilder is taking on Tyrrell Herndon in the main event on Friday night in Wichita, Kansas, at Koch Arena. I have all of the results from the event. The most recent result will be just below. Deontay Wilder vs. Tyrrell Herndon Results These two heavyweights are not impressing the crowd. Boos are raining down in the second round. Deontay Wilder's Return Wilder is headlining a card built around his comeback moment. While we wait to see if the Bronze Bomber is still capable of sinking opponents with his huge right hand, fans (and I'm not sure how many of them there are) are tuning in to and other outlets for what could be a pivotal night in Wilder's career. Before the bell rings, let's set the table. Wilder hasn't fought since his loss to Zhilei Zhang via KO in June 2024. The soon-to-be 40-year-old enters this matchup needing more than just a win. Wilder needs to prove he is still a cut above the likes of Herndon and a serious opponent for the biggest names in the heavyweight division. Few expect Wilder to have lost his punching power, but the bigger question is about his mindset. That aspect of his game hasn't appeared to be in the best place over the past few years. Herndon, a journeyman of sorts, steps into the role of underdog with a chance to shock the world. Almost no one expects him to accomplish that goal. Quite honestly, we're not sure if he thinks he can win. While he lacks a marquee résumé, he has solid power and plenty of ring experience. If nothing else, he provides a barometer for what Wilder has left. This event isn't a massive card in terms of depth, but it does feature a few intriguing matchups underneath the main event. Deon Nicholson takes on Devonte Williams in a light heavyweight clash, and undefeated heavyweight prospect Gustavo Trujillo faces former title challenger Lateef Kayode. But make no mistake—this night belongs to Wilder. Whether Wilder wins by vintage KO or the unexpected happens, tonight could shape the next chapter of his legacy. I'll update this article live throughout the evening with results, reactions, and analysis as soon as the main event gets underway. Check back regularly or refresh the page to stay on top of every moment, from ring walks to the final punch. Stay tuned—fight night is here.
