hey, bertrand! yeah, 7-0. funny thing, before this mexico had played a year undefeated! problem is they're used to a different caliber of opponent ha ha ha. uruguay, which should have kept them in check,
has problems of their own.
here's a video of mexico's destruction:

but see, before that, these were the expectations:

so it's quite a crash.
chile won the copa america last year. with a finger up cavani's ass and a little help from the ref, but still, they've been the strongest ever in their history i believe. this copa america is out of the regular calendar for multiple reasons too long to explain-- but it's like having the euro again in 2017.
chile has players in europe of course-- THE BEST ONES (now i sound like donald trump, ha ha ha). but yeah, alexis in arsenal, vidal @ bayern, medel @ inter, bravo @ barcelona, vargas @ hoffenheim, etc-- plus they have players in the mexican league.
mexican professional teams have a lot of international players btw-- not the top ones like europe, but they attract people from everywhere-- brazilians, uruguayans, chileans, etc. news came out that the peruvian team's goalkeeper just got hired from the tournament to play in veracruz. so why not get a french player too. as long as it's not for puebla ha ha ha.
