Both Mexico, Uruguay dismiss El Tri streak as factor

While Mexico would like to keep its long unbeaten streak in tact, the players insist that will only happen if they approach each game seriously.

PHOENIX — Though Mexico enters the Copa America Centenario on a 16-match unbeaten streak, the national team isn't viewing that as a factor in its preparation for this summer's tournament.

El Tri has not tasted defeat since a 2-1 loss to Ecuador on June, 15, 2015. That result knocked Mexico out of the 2015 Copa America, where it was playing as one of CONMEBOL's invited guests. After that, Mexico won the CONCACAF Gold Cup, the CONCACAF Cup and every qualifier in which it has played.
