No controversy as Mexico cruises to Gold Cup title

After advancing to the Gold Cup final in controversial fashion, Mexico left no doubt that it was the superior side as it brushed aside Jamaica, writes Seth Vertelney.

PHILADELPHIA — This time there would be no controversial calls. There would be no angry confrontations between players. There would be no projectiles thrown from the stands.

On Sunday night, nobody was CONCACAF’d. Instead, Jamaica was just run over.

Perhaps the only surprise during Mexico’s 3-1 win against the Reggae Boyz in the Gold Cup final was that there really were no surprises. The better team won. The lesser team was outplayed.
