I can see it both ways. But the Costa Rican team, and various Costa Rican politicians, were pissed.
It's actually sort of a slight on Mexico that they didn't beat Cuba by more last night.
El Tri had 44 shots on the night, but only sic of those went in.
Oribe Peralta had a hat trick for Mexico, with Carlos Vela, Andres Guardado and Giovani dos Santos also scoring.
Cuba was down to 16 players after six players (plus the manager) were held up in Cuba and one defected after arriving in the United States.
El Tri continues to gear up for this summer’s busy schedule with a win against Ecuador. Chicharito scored the only goal, but what a goal it was.
Carlos Vela tore his meniscus, which means he is likely out for Mexico's next three games. How will they do? We turn to FIFA 15 to find out.
This Sunday, FC Twente of the Dutch Eredivisie take on Vitesse Arnhem, and while the lineups have not yet been made official, you can bet that Jesus “El Tecatito” Corona will be tapped by his manager for the starting XI. Since his debut, Jesus Corona has given his manager hardly any reason not to.
Cuauhtemoc Blanco is a soccer genius, only no one knows.
