Mexico Disappoints In 0-0 Draw With Honduras

Mexico ended the group stage of World Cup qualifying undeafeated but disappointed after a listless 0-0 outing against Hondiras in Estadio Azteca.

Honduras did the thing pretty much everybody expected them to do and parked the bus basically from the beginning. Even firing on all cylinders, Mexico might have had trouble beating this defense.

As it turned out, though, Mexico weren't firing on all cylinders, and the crowd let manager Juan Carlos Osorio know they didn't like what they were seeing.

(note: Osorio's record as Mexico coach so far: 10 wins, two draws and a loss, so everybody relax)

Mexico's group win sets up a hexagonal round opener November 11 in Columbus, Ohio, against the USA.

The real loser here was Canada, who were denied advancement by the draw.
