 Mexico national football team - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mexico national football team — the Tricolores or Tri for short — is the national team of Mexico and is controlled by the Federación Mexicana de Fútbol Asociación.
However, Mexico then experienced a resurgence with the continuous and overall good participation of the Mexican national team and Mexican club sides as guests the CONMEBOL tournaments of Copa Libertadores and Copa América, as well as their qualification run for the 2004 Athens Olympics and the win in the 2003 Gold Cup.
Surprising wins by Canada and the United States in the 2000 and 2002 Gold Cups respectively, and Mexico's dismissal by the United States in Round 2 of the 2002 World Cup, seemed to signal a new era of parity on the continental football scene.

The team, and its victory, represented the triumph of anti-racism, fraternity and merit.
Their team reached the play-offs but failed to gain promotion to Division 2 of the English League: this is remarkable though, because up to last year, they were not even in Division 3 (the lowest league category).

 That Anelka apology: The first draft (Pub-friendly) [The Rockall Times]

In the publicly-released version, highly-talented misfit Anelka admits to hundreds of past mistakes (although omitting thousands of others on the grounds of brevity) and apologises to "Monsieur Santini, the French Football Federation, all French football supporters, plus Oncle Thomas Cobbleigh et tout".
The rest of the team is to lighten up so I don't have to spend my whole time looking at a bunch of morose, monosyllabic know-nothings who are unprepared to talk to anyone.

And the French national football team joined the fray by releasing a statement hitting out against attitudes which they said were dangerous for democracy and freedom.

In an interview on French radio, he said the message from voters was that their leaders should sit up and start to take notice.
