Javier Hernandez and soccer gods benefit Mexico

Striker Javier Hernandez is in form and has the right players around him. Fans are behind the team. 

And if that isn’t enough, well, let’s just say the soccer gods have been extremely generous to Mexico recently in its adopted homeland. 

Twice, refereree Wilton Sampaio could have whistled a penalty kick for Jamaica. Twice, Mexico wasn’t punished. 

If Mexico remains the top team in its group, its quarterfinal match will take place in Silicon Valley, another place where it should receive overwhelming amount of support.
