Mexico's making a mistake hosting Honduras at the Estadio Azteca

The Mexican Football Federation (FMF) may be creating problems for themselves by hosting a game against Honduras in the Estadio Azteca.

The Mexico national team may have qualified for the Hexagonal round of World Cup qualifying in CONCACAF but it's not exactly at a high point. The last official game for the Senior National team was an historic 7-0 loss to Chile in the quarterfinal game of Copa America. It was the worst defeat Mexico has ever had in a Copa America and against a team that had been historically ranked beneath them. Not only did the win confirm that Chile has surpassed them, but it was in what many people thought was the best opportunity to ever win a Copa America (in the US with home field advantage and with most players in their squad playing in Europe).
