The Mexican national team simply cannot win when their matches are scheduled on June 29th, and the four to one defeat that Germany inflicted on them in Sochi, in the semi-final of the Confederations Cup in Russia, confirms the trend.
WE RECOMMEND: Germany eliminates Mexico in Confederations 'semi'.
