Mexico was embarrassed by the reigning Copa America champion, which put seven goals past a listless El Tri to move on to this year's semifinals.
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Mexico wasn't supposed to go out of the tournament, not like this. This is a team that brought the longest unbeaten streak in the world, 22 consecutive matches, into the Copa America Centenario quarterfinals. Surely El Tri would at least keep it close, if not extend that unbeaten run.
But beaten they were by a Chile side that looked like a pool hustler after its weak group matches.
