Ignoring the fact that
A. this is the U22 team and most of them never played for NT before.
B. 8 players suspended and replaced days before Mexico's first game
I would say they did fairly well considering the cir stances. Although not happy about the result of course, I wasn't expecting much from this team. Look at the first couple of pages before the tourney even started i said mexico was ed.
What do you mean in the same fasion? And Mexico only had one chance at striking? Here are the stats for that game
Arg---------------------Mex
11(6) Shots (on Goal) 16(6)
Not to mention Argentina's first goal was clearly offsides and the 2nd was a huge up by osorio i mean HUGE

.. Argentinia converted there chances mexico didn't. Not seeing the comparsion here at all.
