The Mali that everyone was excited to play because it was gonna be the easy win in the group. Yeah, that third place Mali.
I don't remember people being excited. In fact I recall the biggest flaw was being pointed out how Mexico struggles against athletic teams
I'm excited México gets to plays top prospects such as these guys... That'll be good for our own prospects...
I'm sorry but you're talking bullshit. Nobody was excited for that group and everybody was commenting on how it was the group of death from the START. All the talk was about how Mexico didn't get shit from winning the CONCACAF championship because of it. And as Phenom said, unless it's Sao Tome and Principe or Madagascar, nobody is ever excited for Mexico playing an african side, in a youth tournament. And there's no way they are in the same universe as Vanuatu.
