Oh, Lamentica!

Slive and underway here on ESPN Plus, as you see, images of New Sail Stadium in the aftermath of a very, very dramatic conclusion

to action in group-seek, which is where we find Mexico and unfortunately, despite a victory over Saudi Arabia by final score of 2-1, and 3 are going home out of this tournament, our gentinas through, Poland is through, out of this group.

Hercules Gomez give me a second just to collect myself, say some people to the camera so I can take a breath.

I actually want to know more from you. I want to know if it's worse going out this way than if they just would escort the goals and got a new over with.

We will get into that in just a few minutes here on football, Lamentica. We are going to cover every angle of this Mexico game and the entire now, because we can say it is over Mexican performance at this World Cup, including the future of this team, which we know now will be without.martina.

We will also have some injury updates for you on the U.S. Men's national team who are through to the round of 16 against Netherlands. We got the latest on both Christian, Policics Health and Josh Sargent's health.

But let's start with Mexico who fall 2-1 in this game. They are eliminated from the World Cup Hercules, your first reactions.

Where was this alternative?

Where was this? It's that easy, Tatamartino. Give them a fighting chance. That's what you have to do. Literally, a good 11. A dynamic 11. 11 that's not born in retirement.

With the purpose of attacking and look what can happen. Some goals. That's what can happen. I know, Arabia Sargent, I know, Saria Arabia.

If that's what you want to go, they didn't look good. But this Saria Arabia team beat Argentina. This Saria Arabia team should be Poland. Honestly, you made them not look good. Take off the shackles, allow them to play. And this is what happens. They can respond. Give them a fighting chance. That's all you need to do, Tatamartino. But it was too little, too late.

It felt like back into a corner, desperate. Tatamartino lost his stubbornness. The thing that has defined his entire time in charge of this Mexican national team. Whether it's on the field, who they're playing, whether it's the tactics, how they're playing, or whether it's the personal stuff, something with Gichari Dornandez.

That stubbornness has cost Mexico the entirety of Tatamartino. He lost it today. It's a shame that it took them going no wins in their first two games at a World Cup for him to finally understand that you can change, you can evolve as a manager, you can try different things, you can try different people.

And it was clear, Herc, that this was the Mexico, even without all the great players that aren't here, and we'll get into that later on. You could have been seeing from jump. We could have seen this against Poland. We certainly could have seen it against Argentina.

And I think now I look back at that Argentina game with even more rage because I did have some doubts internally, whether if Tatamartino had truly let Mexico go, I tupportu with this Argentina, what would have happened, even knowing that Argentina wasn't great in the opener against Saudi Arabia.

Having now seen this, I think they could have got something from that Argentina match. I think they maybe even could have won it playing like this. Again, again, this team beat Argentina, whatever you're going to say, the gap between what we saw today from Mexico and what we saw not just in this World Cup, but in the entire build up is an ocean.

And to me, that's unforgivable. Again, we fall back to the manager. It is unforgivable that it, as you said, too little too late. Now we find out what this team is capable of. This and Poland could say the same thing. Argentina could say the same thing. Saudi Arabia could say the same thing. That's how this group played out.

You should lament that you didn't have a better showing versus Argentina. I will concede in that. But you lost it versus Poland. That was the must win game. Poland, not Argentina. Poland was the one you should have won and you wouldn't be in this situation.

You don't win against Poland. You're toothless. You don't attack. You have no punch. You put yourself in a situation where like you said you're back into a corner and now you're forced to. You're forced to attack. And when you score that first goal and we knew there would be chances.

We knew that Mexico would have chances the way they play transition game. If it was open, it was about taking advantage of those chances and they did.
