I think Mexico has a pretty good chance of making it to the final in this sub-17 world cup tournament. They started their first match off on the wrong foot, but played a great game agaisnt Brazil and winning 1-0. After beating Brazil I think they gained more confidence and showed it by beating Japan 2-0 which puts them in round of 16. I hope Mexico makes it to the final like they did in 2005 Peru to try and make history again by winning the world cup in this edition.

"We didn't play a good game. We started well but Japan got control of the ball and gave us some serious problems. We were very close to going out of the World Cup but fortunately we were clinical enough up front to get the two goals, the first of them coming when they were having their best spell. We're through to the next round but we have to improve if we're going to stay in the tournament because today's performance was very poor." Jose Luis Gonzalez China, Mexico coach
