Mexico U-20s bounced, but not without hope for future

El Tri's loss to England was emblematic of a frustrating tournament but several players are set for senior team appearances in the future

Despite mounting a number of chances, Mexico's Under-20 team couldn't find the finishing touch against an England side that ended with 10 men, falling to the Three Lions in the quarterfinals of the U-20 World Cup.

That was Mexico's tournament in a nutshell. Despite having plenty of talented players, players who were able to find opportunities, the team wasn't ever quite able to kick into gear, sputtering into the quarterfinals and leaving the tournament having scored in just two of five matches.
