Last Sunday at Phoenix Arizona, everything worked against Uruguay from the very start. First of all, we knew it wasn't going to be their day from the National Anthem, the ignorance of the Americans who played it was enough for them to get off their game. It wasn't enough that they didn't have their most decisive player on the field, they also had to listen to the Chile National Anthem which got them really pissed off. But that wasn't an excuse to underperform, they did put things quite difficult for Mexico despite playing with one less player for the better part of the second half.
But the Mexican National team was on fire, they reacted quickly to Uruguay's equalizer and were the better team overall. The Charruas' manager was adamant in saying after the match, that Mexico was a better team no doubt: "At the end of the game Mexico came back into the game, and their pressure led to two goals. I think in the end the result was a fair one.
"But I am happy with the courage my players showed when they were losing and had a man less. We created a lot of chances and found an equalizer, but we couldn't hold on. In football you win and you lose. There is nothing better than overcoming difficult moments. We have a very difficult situation against Venezuela, and if we do not win we are out. We have to play well and then we will see. But we are calm, because a lot of teams have lost their first games and still become champions."
