Yes. Mexico is definately for the money. That's a huge tv market for Copa America and Copa Libertadores. It's a strange relationship sometimes. South America wants Mexico to be in these competitions but don't want them to win it all.

"Bring your money but don't you dare win the thing".

Another team gets invited because we can't really have a tournament with 11 teams
