Mexico were once again eliminated in the Round of 16 of the World Cup. Here’s what we can take away from the match.
1. Mexico are just not good enough. Let’s get straight to the point. Mexico are just not good enough. There is no shame in losing to a better side. Brazil was just mentally tougher, tactically better, and when they felt like it, technically superior. Mexico are a Top-16 side in the World for sure, but beyond that, it’s a stretch. Juan Carlos Osorio was right when he pointed out there isn’t a single Mexican player playing in one of the Top-5 teams in one of the Top-4 leagues in the world.
