Clearly, it was, after all the weakest Mexican team in a long time.

Really none of us know how strong they are. No one here is an expert on Mexican football. FIFA still has them 17th.

For all we know this could be a the start of a turnaround for Mexico. We were poor, but they looked sharp. In 65 yr old Aguirre they have a hugely experienced coach, good enough to be at various La Liga clubs (Mallorca, Athletico Madrid, Espanyol, Real Zaragoza, Osasuna). Time with Egypt & Japan.

So not only better players but definitely a higher quality gaffer than us. He's seen it all before, including trying to revive poor performing sides. They had also been in camp a few days longer than the AWs. Be interesting to see how they go against Canada.
