Add The California Post on Google Since the Mexico men’s national soccer team won its first two World Cup group-stage games, the team can let its hair down, so to speak, for its final group-stage contest against Czechia on June 24.
And they’re doing so in a very fan-friendly way, as news broke June 23 that Mexico would start legendary goalkeeper Memo Ochoa for this game.
Ochoa became a global sensation during the 2014 FIFA World Cup, when he produced several epic performances for his home country.
Fast forward 12 years and Ochoa is now past his prime. He still made Mexico’s World Cup roster, but his role has been more of a leader and positive clubhouse presence rather than an impact player on the pitch.
That being said, he’s getting what might be his last opportunity to perform on the world’s biggest stage against Czechia on Wednesday, and fans are eager to see how he’ll fare.
One person who is surely stoked for Ochoa is his wife, Karla Mora. These two have been married since 2017 and have three children together.
Ochoa and Mora are both 40 years old. Mora posted to her Instagram Story before her husband’s World Cup start.
She could be seen wearing an ab-revealing blue shirt along with black jeans and a black hat. She’s embracing her and Memo’s son, who is waving a huge Mexican flag.
Hopefully Ochoa has one more spectacular World Cup performance in him, if only because his family is watching live.
