Mexico, Too!?!

What a day to start off the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup!

Canada loses to an overseas region of France, with a population of only roughly 400000 inhabitants, and now Mexico loses to Panama, a team they're usually expected to defeat.

After Mexico tied the score, in first-half injury time, probably most people thought the match was getting back to normal.

But bad defending by Mexico 3 minutes after the break led to another Panamanian goal, scored by the same player: Gabriel Torres.

And that was all.

I knew Mexico had problems getting the wins, due to their 5 draws out of 6 matches played, in the CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers, but this is a loss. It must be shocking for a lot of people, myself included. (Could there be a big shift of power in CONCACAF? Even Costa Rica is looking more dangerous than Mexico now.)
