http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/theworldgame/11469 With a 2-1 win over Ecuador Sunday, after last week's upset over Brazil, it would take a bizarre series of events for Mexico not to advance in the Copa America. Of course, advancing is not enough; Mexico wants to win the group and play a weak team in the quarterfinals. But the way Mexico has been playing, that shouldn't be hard. Mexico has looked sharp in those two matches, and it should be no problem to get the necessary draw against Chile on July 4. Nery Castillo has to be the early favorite for MVP of the tournament.
