Mexico's coach Manuel Lapuente chats to reporters about his star striker Cuauhtemoc Blanco's expulsion from last night's round one match against Venezuela during a team training session at squad hotel in Foz do Iguacu, just accross the border from Paraguay July 7. Lapuente felt the decision was unfair and was sorry one of his best players would miss the next two crucial matches as a result. Mexico face Peru on July 9 in the quarter finals.
