Mexico held their own against a side that has real aspirations of lifting the World Cup trophy. I do not understand some of the criticisms of the game plan. Mexico stuck to their plan and kept themselves in the game. Frustrating Portugal and having some chances to score themselves. They do not have the talent to go at Portugal for 90 minutes. The current player pool just does not have it in them to do that. The second half showed that gulf in talent but Mexico’s defense did not break. Even with only 27% possession in the second half, El Tri had the best chance.
