With a squad that was mentioned in the Golden Generation, winner of the World Cup U-17 in Peru in 2005 and quarter-finalists World Cup U-20 in Canada, that's when the peak for Mexican football.
They're pretty good start under coach steps in Jesus 'Chucho' Ramirez, who replaced coach Hugo Sanchez. Mexico won 9-0 on aggregate so that Belize has the right to appear in the third phase.

In phase using the group system, Mexico joined the Jamaica, Canada and Honduras. Chucho was deposed and world-class coach Sven-Goran Eriksson was chosen to mix strategy teams 'Aztec'.

After 10 months and played 13 games in the hot seat Mexican coach, the Swede was sacked and replaced by veteran coach Javier 'El Vasco' Aguirre who had handled the national team in Korea-Japan 2002. Sven is considered failed because Mexico lost two times from the U.S. and Honduras in the last phase which contains the six countries.

Previously the former Lazio coach was given the opportunity at the time Mexico was barely appear in South Africa. Because he is only able to bring Mexico to be runner-up group under the final standings Honduras in the third phase group stage. Their superior goal difference to Jamaica both have 10 points.
