Mexico’s exit from the World Cup was a merchandising disaster for local street vendors hawking flags, sombreros and vuvuzelas, but a relief for thousands of police who had been braced for raucous celebrations around the country.
In a restaurant in downtown Mexico City on Sunday, fans were left to ponder Mexico again knocked out of the World Cup by Argentina—this time a 3-1 loss. Four years ago, Argentina eliminated Mexico 2-1 at the same stage of the tournament.
This marks the fifth straight time that Mexico has reached the last 16 of the
World Cup—and the fifth straight time it has lost. Mexico lost against Bulgaria (1994), Germany (1998), the United States (2002) and now twice in a row against Argentina.
