PEEEENALTY MEHHHHIIICO! correct.
Awful defending from Portugal.
Mexico isn't the same team of previous tournaments. They have looked pretty flat, IMO, even considering Borgetti's absence. But they are always killer on set pieces -- I called their goal right before the corner was taken.
It's unfortunate that this match turned out to be what it was. Scolari sat five of his regular starters, each with two yellow cards. It turned out to be more like a friendly. But I'm surprised Portugal even scored. Postiga is great as a sub but is generally a non-starter.
Meira is a liability enough at the back in the place of Andrade, but Caneira isn't much better. But Francisco Fonseca has long been my favorite player in the Mexican leagues, and hence the Mexico NT, and he had a solid match today.
