Wonder how much if this is Mexico coming in with an extra day’s rest + a meaningless match vs. Ecuador fighting for their lives against Germany on a day’s less rest.

Mexico came out with their hair on fire in the first 30, but this seems to have settled a bit.

Could you imagine if the match was at 2PM?!? England with the heat, altitude and smog would be fricked.

Announcers said Ecuador came in last minute, which is about the worst thing you can do going to altitude.

It really is ridiculous they won't have to leave their home fortress for most of the knockout rounds.

Finally Valencia is taken out. Sheez

Mexicans are loyal and passionate and it’s on their own turf.. this is everything to the country.. literally waiting their whole life for this one moment.. and I’m not even kidding..

They might stay within 2 of France on that field.

Granted, Quito is even higher in elevation than Mexico City. Guessing they figured they’d have a residual acclimatization and traded near in acclimatization for an extra day’s rest. That and they probably wanted to stay out of the zoo that was Mexico City the last 24 hours.

Quito is higher but apparently only one to a few of the players play in Ecuador year round, so their elevation equalizer may not exist

Mora is the real deal. He was incredible that first half.

Didn't realize Mexico had Americans playing for them.


Anyone know if they just weren't good enough in the US set up. Or us this more of my Mexican heritage is more important.
