The thing with Mexico is that we always have the potential to go further but it never plays out. We are the perrenial underachievers of the world cup. We’ve had some great teams with great players, but since we don’t always make it that far people like you keep us down and say we’re not great. I agree that Jamaica and Honduras can’t be considered lowly teams, I see that they can play good futbol, but what I’m trying to say is stop being a hater.

Yes it may have been a toss up with Jamaica but I already stated that Jamaica could have made it through if they switched coaches earlier, but they didn’t.
It’s also ridiculous to think Suazo would score if Osorio didn’t. Not only was he falling backwards, the fact is that if Osorio hadn’t scored the ball would most likely be deflected away and Suazo still wouldn’t have touched it.

Russell, you are right. For some reason Mexicans believe that their team is on par with Brazil or Spain or any other big footballing nation, but they don’t have the silverware to back that claim up. I think this weighs too much on the players’ minds and the mental aspect of their game isn’t what it’s supposed to be. The only reason Mexico has gone to the many World Cups that they have is because the rest of the teams in the Concacaf region had undeveloped football associations, but it seems like most of them are starting to catch up, so don’t go saying “lowly” Honduras and Jamaica. Just as you say that you can’t say that Mexico is great, you can’t say that those two other teams are crap.

Russell-I don’t think it’s Eriksson’s fault either. Like I said, the players need to shoulder some of the blame as well. It’s true that the media builds the team up as if it were the greatest in the world, which it has clearly shown that it is not. I wouldn’t blame the media too much though. Other countries are just as focused on their national teams as well but they do better.

Pseudinho- It’s true. At times they are a joy to watch. But when things aren’t going their way the dirty playing comes out. And its not just from the outfield players. Oswaldo was clearly frustrated as well and was screaming for the game to end.
