Because Colombia had some internal problems.

In 1986 occurred the FIFA World Cup, not ECC.\n\nThe 1986 Football World Cup was held in Mexico from May 31 to June 29. It was won by Argentina, who beat West Germany 3-2 in the final at Mexico City's Estadio Azteca.

I applaud Mexico for not selecting that cry baby!  If he was there, "El Tri" would be attracting negative attention.  Yeah, he MIGHT have gotten the team a penalty shot or a red card in their favor.  But come on, IF Mexico gets to the final, do we really want Mexico's first final appearance on the coat tails of that cry baby?

MEXICO, NO DOUBT THEY ONLY QUALIFIED TO THIS CUP JUST CAUSE THEY HAD EASY TEAMS

azteca\n\nMexico City’s fabled Estadio Azteca has been the backdrop for some of history’s most unforgettable FIFA World Cup™ moments. Pele’s last sparks of invention on the world stage, a final glimpse of the old Jules Rimet Cup and Maradona’s famous goals against England in 1986 all took place on the lush grass of the vintage North American gem. Known simply as the Azteca, it is one of the beautiful game’s truly great gathering places -- and the only one to host two FIFA World Cup final matches. \nTeetering 7,200 feet above sea level\n\n\nBuilt in 1966 ahead of the Olympic Games in 1968 and 1970 FIFA World Cup finals, the cavernous, three-tiered bowl was designed to hold almost 115,000 fans. An over-the-top undertaking for the time, the Azteca is a vivid demonstration of Mexico’s mad devotion to the people’s game.

Mexico was eliminated before the quarter-finals by Argentina 2-1.\n\nGood game, though.

In the 60's, Palmeiras, a Brazilian team from São Paulo State, was coached by an Argentinian, named Filpo Nuñez.\nFor some reason, there was an international game, and Palmeiras was invited to represent Brazil, playing in Brazilian uniform.\nFilpo Nuñez, naturally, coached them in that game, becoming the first, and thus far only one from another country to coach the Brazilian team (some bogus Brazilian team, but yet Brazil).

It was 1974 and 1978 when world cup final took place, not in 1976.\n\n1974 world cup was held in Germany (then West Germany), which was won by Germany by beating Netherlands 2-1 in the final.\n\n1978 world cup was held in Argentina which was won by the host by beating Netherlands 3-1.

Colombia, but they withdrew the bid because of economic problems in the country. When that occured, Mexico, Brazil, the US and Canada put in bids to host it because FIFA wanted to keep the tournament in the continent.

Did you know in 1 match when the USA lost, they refused too exchange jerseys with Mexico even though Mexico wanted too give them the jerseys.\n\nAlso since you didn't watch the match, you wouldn't have seen Borgetti taking off his shirt too exchange with one of the Arg. Players, but they (Arg Players) decided too keep them to do the helicopter while celebrating with their fans after their win.\n\nKnow before you spread your ignorance!

Hmm..that's a toughie.  I believe it was the last world cup that France was second place.  Yet Mexico in the last year has become pretty good.  I would have to say Mexico, they have excellent players, such as Borgetti who played really well in another world championship, and they also have a pretty good goalie, Sanchez.  So, my answer would go to Mexico.

before the 2006 FIFA World Cup began, ITALY was my prediction to the semi-finals as i predicted GERMANY & FRANCE or ARGENTINA to be in the final. their victory against GERMANY in the semi-final was really unexpected!!

There are actually two teams. First it was Belgium then it was the Netherlands. In both games Mexico was trailing by the score of 2-0 and came back to tie 2-2.

I didn't see this happen once at this year's world cup, it seems to happen every time we play in Azteca though.\n\nfer619chivas: We lose to unsuperior teams but beat even more unsuperior teams like mexico.  Remember?  US 1st place concacaf?  Mexico 2nd?
