but only made it to the last 16.
Group E
13th June: vs. South
Korea (3:1) in Lyon.
20th June: vs. Belgium
(2-2) in Bordeaux.
25th June: vs. Holland
(2-2) in St. Etienne.
Hernandez and company left it late to qualify from this group and can
thank South Korea for sending a life boat to the Bay of Mexico.
When the Koreans equalized in the 71st minute against Belgium, it was
like a psychological goal for Mexico who then clawed back a two goal deficit to draw with
Holland. For almost an hour they were not in the tournament, let alone the game.
Knockout Stage
2nd Round

The game plan changed in the Second Round, and they actually took the
lead. The aging Germans didn't retire and that was the end of the Blanco hop.
