June 22 (Reuters) - Factbox on Mexico ahead of the Copa America:

PAST RECORD

* Runners-up: 1993, 2001

RECENT FORM

* Mexico have played 11 matches this year, up to and including the CONCACAF semi-final against Guadeloupe which they won 1-0 to set up a meeting with the United States in Sunday's final. They have lost to the United States, Honduras and Paraguay and won the other games.
