GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Mexico's vessel has sunk.
Navigating through the choppy waters of the Copa América, El Tri and manager Jaime "Jimmy" Lozano failed to reach the safety of the tournament's knockout round after a dismal group stage exit. With four points in hand after Sunday's 0-0 draw with Ecuador, the Concacaf side slumped to a final position at third in Group B, thereby leaving them without a place in the quarterfinal stage.
"We have 90 minutes [left] and no one is getting off this ship and we're going to make it," said Lozano a few days ahead of the game, knowing he was in a must-win situation after losing 1-0 to Venezuela on Wednesday.
