Mexico’s soccer team suffered one of the most humiliating defeats in its history at this year’s Copa América, losing 7-0 to a dominant Chile squad in the quarterfinals. Mexico, considered one of the favorites at the tourney — they were basically the second home team — completely fell apart after two first half goals, allowing Chile to score five more in the second half. After final whistle mercifully blew, Mexico’s coach and several players apologized to fans for their performance. And of course, the Internet was there to hilariously rub salt in Mexico’s wounds.
The one-sided match remind some people of Edgar’s familiar catchphrase:
