Luis Suarez shows how far Mexico's next generation has to go

Luis Suarez drank it in as he left the NRG Stadium pitch in the 68th minute of Uruguay's 4-1 victory over Mexico. He gave the referee a wink when the official tried to speed his exit. He applauded the crowd in all directions, only for the boos to grow louder.

They should have stood and applauded.

The Barcelona forward had just delivered an incredible performance and given Mexico's next generation a lesson about just how far they have to go.

That performance consisted of a pair of goals, the first on a free kick and the second from the penalty spot, plus an assist.
