Watched the last 30 minutes of the match. Not sure how Italy played
earlier, but the last 1/2 hour the famed Italy defense was pathetic
and non-existent. Wide gaps in the penalty area, slow/sluggish marking
of the strikers. Mexico could have scored at will but for Buffon. The
result 2-1 Mexico, could easily have been 3-1 or 4-1

Didn't see it, but this confirms my feeling after seeing Mexico
against England. They are goddamn good.

And, they are still only the third best team to qualify from CONCACAF.
