Mexico notched a ho-hum 1-0 victory over Senegal on Monday night.

Luckily, when Mexico’s footballer darling, Cuauhtemoc Blanco came into the game Mexico’s play went up a notch.
For those interested in the personalities that make up the team, a Los Angeles Times article delved into the sundry backgrounds of the team today, noting, for instance, that Javier ‘Little Pea’ Hernandez is still living with his parents while he works on his BS degree.
