Miguel Herrera and his players have seen fortune smile upon them but realize they can't depend on luck, writes Jon Arnold.
ATLANTA — There was no spin coming from the Mexico camp after the team's 2-1 extra-time win against Panama.
No players tried to convince reporters a penalty call that led to Andres Guardado sending the match to extra time from the spot was the right one for referee Mark Geiger to make. Manager Miguel Herrera, who usually spends his time complaining about calls Mexico doesn't get, said Mexico shouldn't have gotten the controversial 89th-minute penalty call.
