UPDATE: Reggae Boyz hold Mexico nil all at the Azteca

Mexico City, Mexico – Who would have thought it possible?

Jamaica, the tiny Caribbean island of just 2.7 million people, went to the Estadio Azteca and battled the North Americans, who boast a population of 115 million, 21.2 of which reside in Mexico City, to a 0-0 in their opening World Cup Qualifying Final Round encounter Wednesday night.

It was a historic result for Jamaica, who have been bombarded 8-0, 2-1, 6-0, 4-0, and 3-0 in five previous World Cup encounters in Mexico City. It leaves Jamaica on one point, the same as Mexico, and two behind Honduras, who lead the six-team group on three points after their 2-1 victory over the United States earlier in the day. Panama and Costa Rica are also on one point, after playing to a 2-2 result in Panama City.

The Reggae Boyz and those close to the team were hoping for a “One Love” result on Bob Marley’s birthday, but they would be left satisfied after the final result.

Mexico is not considered part of North America by most Europeans, but part of Central America. This is however not the case and Mexico is in fact part of North America. Or is it?
It depends on who you ask. If you ask someone supporting transnational corporate interests, then Mexico is awkwardly stuffed into definitions of North America-Canada.
On its northern edge, Mexico falls into a geographic zone that is the southernmost delineation of North America, while Mexico southward leads into Central America.
Consider pre-modern societies such as the Maya, who thrived in one cultural sphere that spread from El Salvador, Cozumel and Central Mexico, and into Veracruz, Honduras and Guatemala. Culturally, Mexico still has much more in common with these Central American societies than it does with the cultural traditions, language and customs of North American USA and Canada.
Perhaps Mexico's language (Spanish) is one reason many think Mexico is part of Central America, some even think Mexico is in South America, but the only link to these two is the language and the border with Guatemala and Belize. But Central America is not a continent but a land bridge between continents comprised of modern political boundaries sharing a common latin American culture; Central America is a group of countries.
Without overstating the obvious, new patterns of immigration bring changing perceptions of such differences. Not surprisingly, those who desire seeing the USA fuse inter-regionally with Mexico, such as immigration activists and transnational corporations, are re-drawing and re-defining such culture zones.
Those who want Mexico to be considered solidly within North America will support such changing definitions.Rate This Answer

Picture #3 with Dr. Carlton Frazier.

The good Doctor should be donning a beard-net also.

He would no pass gowning validation.

Maybe he stopped by for a quick chat-- and had to remove the beard-net.
