A good campaign in the Copa América will serve to soften the mood in the Mexican team, which, despite not frequently facing opponents from the top shelf of world football, has accumulated poor results.
Jamaica is already in contention for the Qualifiers. The team started the Second Phase with 100% success.
The Jamaicans are trying to return to the World Cup and the Copa América will serve as preparation for the selection.
