Mexico

There was no controversy in the final of the 2015 Gold Cup. And for Mexico, a team that couldn’t seem to escape it, that is a cherry on top of a game in which it established dominance, and impressed throughout as it won 3-1.

Mexico did not start the game the way it ended it. Jamaica looked good in the first half hour, and had good, clear chances to score while Mexico was still finding its feet. This game could have started 2-0 in favor of Jamaica, but they just were not clinical in the slightest. They scored in the 80th minute, but it was a consolation, too little, too late. 

Seriously, is the Gold Cup fixed? Miguel Herrera earlier claimed various forces were against Mexico in the tournament, but now it looks like various forces (and by "forces, we mean "referees") want Mexico to win win the Gold Cup more than they want anything in the world.

First, there was this penalty, which we'll call "dubious." 

I can see it both ways. But the Costa Rican team, and various Costa Rican politicians, were pissed.

Tigres has reached the final of the 2015 Copa Libertadores. Beating one of Brazil's most well-known sides, Internacional, along the way. In what was a spirited match by the Mexican side, Inter could just not cope with Los Felinos in front of a sold out crowd at El Volcan Football Stadium in Nuevo Leon Mexico. 

According to ESPNFC, Mexico head coach Miguel Herrera believes that his team is getting treated unfairly at the Gold Cup, citing that, because of the ticket sales that his team drives, it should get better travel accommodations. 

"What surprises me is that Mexico fills the box offices and causes stadiums to sell out, [but] in all this process they have treated us differently, they have cut certain things," Herrera said.

Mexico have reached the semifinals of the Gold Cup, dispatching Costa Rica via a 122nd-minute penalty caused by Oribe Peralta going full-on Arjen Robben.

See for yourself.

Andres Guardado stepped up and drilled the penalty and Mexico were through.

FIFA recently released it’s updated Men’s World Rankings and they did not go easy on Mexico, United States, and Costa Rica.

The rankings showcase who are the best teams in the world, and take into account friendly fixtures and competitive fixtures. Teams accumulate points throughout.

Jorge Vergara, the owner of Chivas de Guadalajara, has said that he will do all he can financially to make sure that Javier Hernandez comes to Liga MX instead of the MLS, should the Mexican international leave Manchester United. 

Speaking to ESPN Mexico’s Raza Deportivo, Vergara had this to say on the possibility of such move. 

The Gold Cup's group stage was pretty noneventful until last night's game between Mexico and Trinidad & Tobago.

Wait, let me rephrase. The Gold Cup's group stage was pretty noneventful until the second half of last night's game between Mexico and Trinidad & Tobago, because this goal from Paul Aguilar was all that happened in the first.

According to the Los Angeles Times, LA Galaxy have a new addition to their forward line. 

Giovani dos Santos, a 26-year-old Mexican international, has reportedly signed with the club, which has been interested in him since 2011.

In a game that left many disappointed, Mexico struggled to a 0-0 draw with Guatemala, a team Mexico were expected to beat easily, and a team that was down to 10 men for the final 15-ish minutes.

Mexico's Andres Guardado was named man of the match, but had a close-range volley saved that would have put Mexico ahead.

Guatemala's Jose Contreras was shown a second yellow in the 76th minute, forcing Guatemala to go down a man.

Mexico couldn't finish, shooting 19 times and controlling about 80 percent of the possession but still failing to find the net.
