At least Brazil never quit. Can’t say that for Mexico.

One might wish to think about that statement. If it's not the same, it was a pretty bad loss. 7-1 to Germany at home in the last World Cup.

Looking at the box score; Mexico still defeated a highly regarded Uruguay team in the Copa.

Mexico also defeated the USA 4-2 in the 2011 Gold Cup and 5-0 actually at the 2009 Gold Cup. These sorts of games happen now and then.

While these are bad games, it's not the end of the world.

What will be interesting is how Chile follows through.

Way to completely miss my point. The Mexican players stopped trying (typical, when things go bad for that ilk) Brazil got beat, badly, but never stopped trying. As evidence by scoring when they were down seven with just minutes to play.

Oh, and any real fan knows that 5-0 loss to Mexico by the US was with what was basically a B Team for the US, as we also played in the Confed cup that summer.

Anything else I can educate you on?
