World Cup history awaits as Guillermo Ochoa has been called up to Mexico's squad.
The World Cup is under two weeks away as the USA, Mexico and Canada will host this summer's tournament.
US coach Mauricio Pochettino named his 26-player squad last week, with his side beating Senegal 3-2 in a friendly on Sunday. Canada have also named their squad, which includes star player Alphonso Davies.
Mexico have now named their squad and it features veteran goalkeeper Ochoa.
Guillermo Ochoa Eyes World Cup Record

Ochoa has been named in Javier Aguirre's World Cup squad, meaning he has the chance to play in a sixth World Cup.
The 40-year-old is the third player who will have a chance to break the record for appearing in the most World Cups, along with Argentina's Lionel Messi and Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo.
Messi and Ronaldo are set to feature prominently for Argentina and Portugal, respectively. However, Ochoa won't play an integral part unlike previous World Cups, given that he has seen limited action for Mexico.
The ageing stopper, who made a substitute appearance in Mexico's 1-0 friendly victory over Australia on Sunday, is well aware it's not an easy record to break.
Speaking to GOAL, Ochoa said: "It’s not an easy record to break. There is no player with six World Cups, so it’s a big challenge for me."
He's hoping to achieve the World Cup record, having starred at the 2014, 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
The World Cup legend added: "I'm working for that. "But I am very positive, very happy, because I’m very close to doing it. I’m working hard to realize this dream."
Ochoa made his World Cup debut in 2006, where Mexico advanced from the group stage to reach the last-16. He spent last season playing for Cypriot side AEL Limassol, making 26 appearances across all competitions.
