I think it should have been 0-0. The first goal was offside and in my opinon there was no penalty. But mexico did work hard.

Mexico is an ok team but doesn't posses the quality to be world champion. Mexico faced a France that did not want to play, a France (players) that didn't get along with each other, how can you play or win games with a "non" team like that one. What a shame for France to let their fans down
