Mexico's run in the U-17 World Cup came to an end Thursday in a 4-2 loss to NIgeria in a game that mayy would describe as a thriller (we would describe it like this, for example).
The U-17s got off to a near-perfect start when Kevin Magaña put El Tri ahead in the seventh minute.

Andrés Guardado simply will not stop. He’s the epitome of hard work, strength of character and desire for all of the Americas.
A born fighter, Guardado does not keep his battles solely on the field. He inspires others to work towards the betterment of themselves and the world around them.
He tackles the battle against breast cancer, pushing for global awareness and activisim, in the same way he'd fly into a tackle for El Tri.
Chivas last year were very nearly a disaster. They barely escaped relegation in Liga MX, and it was disconcerting to see a once-great side fall so far.
The times appear to be changing though, because Wednesday Chivas won the Copa MX, defeating Leon 1-0 in the final. This ended a nine-year trophyless run.
Oswaldo Alanis headed Chivas into the lead in the 71st minute, ensuring victory for the Guadalajara side.
A long time ago, when people in Europe thought that their continent might actually be the entire world, explorers roamed the oceans and landed in Mexico. They eventually took over, which led to the westernized Mexico we see today. But now Mexico is fighting back. Miguel Layun, Chicharito and others are doing the unthinkable — taking over Europe.
Chicharito Hernandez did a number of things today. He scored in his fifth straight game (seven total during that stretch) for Bayer Leverkusen in all competitions. He set the CONCACAF record for career goals in the UEFA Champions league (12 so far).
Unfortunately for Hernandez, Bayer couldn't get a result against Roma, losing 3-2 despite Hernandez's goal.
The world seems a little bit nicer place today. The sun shines a little brighter. The sky looks a little bluer. People seem a little nicer. All is right in the universe. Miguel Herrera is back.
The Mexico U-17 team took another step toward earning a third-straight trip to the U-17 World Cup final Monday by defeating Ecuador 2-0.
Claudio Zamudio's volley from the center of the box off of a corner in the 41st minute opened the scoring, and Bryan Salazar nailed a penalty in the 55th minute, after Jose Gurrola drew a foul, to put the game away. This is Mexico's third-straight trip o the semi-finals.
Cristiano Ronaldo has already been established as a giving person, and that perception was reestablished when he sent a signed Real Madrid Jersey to Andres Moreno.
We should explain. Andres Moreno tips the scales at about 960 lbs., and is considered the most obese man in the world. He's not taken to kindly to that title, though, and is trying to lose weight.
Moreno recently underwent weight-loss surgery to kick-start that process, and received a surprise gift after the first procedure was successful: a signed Cristiano Ronaldo jersey.
Chicharito is on fire. We repeat: CHICHARITO IS ON FIRE.
Javier Hernandez scored against Wolfsburg Saturday, making four goals in six games for the Mexican Bayer Leverkusen striker.
