Well, no thread for the third place match it seems. Mexico won 3-1. Uruguay opened the score with Abreu, then a penalty was called, and a player got tossed. Uruguay was with 10 men for about 15 minutes of the first half and the whole second half. Even then, Mexico didn't do much until Guardado came in.
Bravo scored a nice goal, then Guardado scored with a rocket shot a la versus America. Then Ochoa showed his skills with a great save near the end. Uruguay still played well despite having 10 players. And Nery was a shadow of himself in the second half again. He seems pretty bothered by that injury, or he just ran out of gas.
Overall, Mexico had a fine showing in the cup. Obviously third place isn't anything to brag about, but it was more than I initially expected when it started. Either way, this showed a new revelation with Nery Castillo. I doubt he'll play for Olympiakos next season. Guardado showed he's ready for Europe. Memo Ochoa might have gotten himself a ticket to Europe with this tourney. Jonny Magallon played great the whole time, and Jaime Correa seemed to be pretty solid as well.
I'm satisfied for now, I would've liked to see us in the final. But Argentina has a full strength squad, and they got to be the favorites to win it tomorrow.
