Mexico came into tonight's FIFA World Cup qualifying match with Panama in fifth place, needing a win to leap ahead of Panama and into a potential qualifying position for a playoff with New Zealand to make the big tournament in Brazil in 2014.

Last year's English Premier League season felt anticlimactic, didn't it? The championship was decided before the end of the winter, and Manchester United ran seemingly unchallenged from their 20th first division crown.
