Chile was precise and voracious, but Mexican defense was the worst I have seen. All the backline playing almost in midfield with huge holes in the middle. Almost all goals were identical, long pass to unmarked chilean in the wing or through the middle and then go one on one with mexican defender, the latter always losing.

0-7 FT RIP mexico's coach and possibly many of the players' international careers.

0-6 this is bananas. I can't wait to see the memes out of this.

0-4 suicide defense

Mexico is a disaster, looks like my prediction for the tournament won't come true.

I told you that if Ireland takes sevens seriously they can qualify easily.

However, don't forget that other teams were also missing various players. I think the most positive thing for India is that GB and Belgium kind of sucked and they were the most complete squads. Could see India sneaking past them in Quarterfinals given the chance.

Overall poor level in this champions trophy. GB and Belgium in particular were disappointing. India goes home with positive vibes. Germany didn't care much, Australia usual level despite not playing with the full force. Tomorrow starts women's competition and it will be more serious, I think all teams are playing with their full squads. Also the 6 teams that play are probably all the teams that can win a medal in Rio, so it should make a good preview.
