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.

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