A sad state when Mexico is this much better than the USA in Handball. Mexico has less history and over the years much less success. Also a much poorer history of supporting wmen's sports in general.
Emphasis on my point about Mexico not having a history of supporting women's sports. USA Women's Soccer football NT just beat Mexico 5 -0. This brings the total record between these teams to 19-0-0 in favor of the USA. This despite the fact that a large number of the Mexico players actually are from the US, went to high school and college here [so learned their soccer here], but have parents or grandparents from Mexico and so qualify to play for the team. And this from a county with so much less history than Mexico of soccer being important!
A sad state: when the handball US WNT has been competing since the 1970's, and in that time I have never heard of the Mexican team being involved in an Olympics or W.C.
