To elticonopega, yeah it was disappointing that Mexico didn't qualify for the sub20WC and I was rooting for C.R. to go all the way. 2005 was no accident, Mexico sub17 showed clear superiority to most of the teams it played. And I hope the senior team (C.R.) beats Uruguay so C.R. can join the rest of the qualified Concacaf teams to the W.C.2010. Why the hate, whatever happened to Pura Vida!

Quotes

"The first goal was the key to the match because things were very tough for us at the start. That free-kick opened the game up for us and the defence did their job very well, which made things much easier, as did the second goal just before the break. There were no scares for us in the second half and I feel we more than deserved the win." Dany Ryser, Switzerland coach
