Perbezaan antara semakan "Pasukan bola sepak kebangsaan Mexico"

Pada dekad 2000, [[Pasukan bola sepak kebangsaan Amerika Syarikat|Amerika Syarikat]] telah terbukti menjadi pencabar kepada dominsai Mexico dalam bola sepak peringkat benua, dengan memenangi [[Piala Emas CONCACAF 2002|Piala Emas 2002]] dan menyingkirkan Mexico daripada pusingan kedua di [[Piala Dunia FIFA 2002]]. Sungguhpun mengalami kekalahan yang mengecewakan itu, Mexico sekali lagi menganjurkan Piala Emas pada [[Piala Emas CONCACAF 2003|2003]]. Malah, Mexico membalas dendam ke atas Amerika Syarikat dengan menyingkirkan mereka pada kelayakan untuk [[Olimpik 2004]]. Bagaimanapun, pada kejohanan Piala Emas 2005, Mexico mengalami kekecewaan apabila tersingkir pada peringkat awal, di mana mereka disingkirkan oleh tetamu Colombia di peringkat suku akhir dengan gol liar apabila perlawanan berbaki lima belas minit lagi.

 

 

The participation of the Mexican National Team in the [[Confederations Cup 2005|2005 FIFA Confederations Cup]] confirmed, for many, the emergence of Mexico as a rising football power. Mexico began the tournament by defeating defending World Cup Champions [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] by a score of 1-0 with an impressive display of tactical intelligence and discipline. Mexico garnered further accolades with impressive performances against traditional heavyweights [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]] and [[Germany national football team|Germany]]. Although Mexico was leading [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]] in extra time of their semifinal match, they ultimately lost in a highly contested penalty shootout, 6-5. In the third place match, Mexico twice came from behind against Germany, eventually losing 4-3 in extra time.
