why mexico isn't in the 2006 winter olympics?

Only one of their athletes qualified, and the country decided to not send a one man team.\n\n"Mexico will not be sending any athletes to the 2006 Winter Olympics. The Bobsleigh team and the Skeleton team both failed to qualify for the games. Alpine skiier Hubertus von Hohenloh had gained enough World Cup points to qualify for the Olympics, but the Mexico National Olympic Committee decided not to send a one man team to the Games.[1]"

The team is solid (if Borghetti gets back in form), and their group is easy, but I can't see them getting to the quarterfinals.  It's a shame, because a good Mexican run would be good for North America, but I just don't see it this year.  I feel bad for Lavolpe too; he'll be crucified in the Zocalo for anything less than the semis.

They didn't "choke".  In 02', they were unlucky against a lucky U.S. squad and were denied a penalty kick when O'Brian hit punched the ball out of the box.  Without Brad Friedel, Mexico wins that game by two goals at least.  This time around, they played a very strong Argentina squad, one of the best teams in the tournament.  If Borgetti hadnt been injured earlier, I think he would have scored.  As it was, they took Argentina to extra time, which might be more than a lot of other teams can say.

IRAN..... Iran will qualify from their groups respectively. I can't wait to see overrated chaparitos humiliated lol. Mexico really sucks. After 12 times of qualifying the furthest they have gone is quarterfinals. Iranian coach said the best thing? The problem of Mexico is simply being in the same group with Iran and Portugal. lol. Wait and see.

Why not?  Hell, while we're at it, since they all come here to why don't we add some Mexican pro sports teams to our roster.

It's a myth... a merge is more likely with Mexico but never with Canada.  They wouldn't allow it.

Uh...I think you got the wrong World Cup here.  Mexico is disqualified, Argentina is in the quarterfinals, end of story.

Mexico is a country, not a religion.

It's definitely not the USA- Mexico is a lot tougher than us. I think it is Japan. (Because of the amount of people and the size of their country).

Because most of the sports are similar(except curling)in winter olympic, and it has less sports than summer olympic.\nAlso snowbording(the half-pipe)is cool

Never, though they have hosted it twice (1970 and 1986).  They might be the surprise team this year, especially after their performance Sunday against a solid Iranian team.  If Borgetti's injury isn't that bad, Mexico could surprise a lot of people in this tournament.

Nobody did. It was not played in the Olympics that year.

Canada participated in the 1958 World Cup in Sweden and in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico.

3 things:\n1. Germany sucks\n2. Egypt have had a good run of form, winning African Nations.\n3. Rankings are often not a very good indicator last time I looked Mexico were top ten.
