Mexico vs. New Zealand Live Stream: Watch Online FIFA World Cup Qualifying Match ESPN TV Streaming El Tri CONCACAF

FIFA World Cup qualifying will continue on Wednesday for the 2014 tournament and the match during the afternoon in the first leg for Mexico and New Zealand is a crucial match for El Tri and marks the last chance they will get to qualify and the game will air live on ESPN starting up at 3:30 pm and streaming live online on WatchESPN.

The match is very important in the first leg for Mexico, as El Tri missed out on chances to get into the World Cup and now the match will go down from Azteca Stadium in Mexico City and should be one of the most anticipated matchups in all of qualifying. The team is thought to have the most talent in the CONCACAF group, but they now are up against it after getting only six points during their run in five home games and making things even more disappointing were the three goals and now they face an underdog New Zealand team, but with the pressure El Tri is under, it could be too tough to handle. El Tri is normally tough to beat at Azteca Stadium and they will have to reach back to get that once again and they are lucky for one thing, as Winston Reid will be out for NZ with an ankle injury.

The fans should be out and about in full force as 100,000 will pack into the stadium and the economic impact of El Tri not making it to the World Cup is huge, as ESPN.com is reporting that billions are on the line between TV deals and sponsors if they do not make it, as their national jerseys are some of the best sellers in the world. The last matchup for the team was a disappointing loss and now they have one final shot to get into the World Cup and if they miss out it could be devastating for fans and the nation, as ESPN.com reports that the money missing could be bad for the nation. Miguel Herrera is taking the team into the matchup and players on Euro teams have not been called back, but there is immense pressure on the team and the match will be broadcast on ESPN in the US and on Sky Sport 1 in New Zealand and streaming on the WatchESPN website.

Javier Hernandez will not be playing with the team and now Mexico comes in after finishing in fourth place in the CONCACAF Hexagonal and the reason the team remained alive was due to a solid game by the United States and now they face off against a New Zealand team that has played well with six wins in their nation group and now they have a tie with Mexico that needs to break and this will be the first leg before the second leg come up in a few days and the match will be a big one for Mexico, as they have scored seven times in 10 matches and need to play much better and the defense is expected to be more aggressive this time around.

The match could end up costing the nation and the team $600 million says ESPN and the team comes in after winning only two of 10 matches in qualifying and the biggest thanks the team has is for their rival team, as the US was able to score twice in extra time to get things right with Panama and that enabled Mexico to get their chance on Wednesday before the next match on the 20th and that will decide if the team makes it to Brazil for the World Cup or not. Univision is dying for it, as they have the TV rights and now it will all come down to what happens on the pitch.

Mexico will be taking on New Zealand in the World Cup qualifying match and it starts around 3:15 pm/3:30 pm from Azteca Stadium on Watch ESPN streaming.
