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?

I haven’t seen any media coverage of the Mexican fans showering the Chilean players with garbage after they scored their third goal.

They should go after Mexico like UEFA went after Croatia for their despicable fans.

Mexico beat #9 Uruguay in this tournament. The US hasn't done that. Spin it however you want, as well as 5-0 losses. Maybe we can rationalize Mexico's loss too.

Though the acts of some fans may be inexcusable; that is not uncommon in matches in Latin America.
