* Mexico vs Guyana was awarded 2-0 to Mexico, after Guyana declined to play the match.
Fifteen members of the Guyana team had 'disappeared' while in California. The Guyanan
Association telexed the Mexican Federation citing "administrative problems".
On 10-12-87 FIFA announced that the Guyana association would be fined 10000
Swiss Francs, and would have to compensate the Mexican federation for their
expenses (approximately 100000 US dollars).
On June 30th 1988 FIFA banned Mexico from all FIFA-sanctioned competitions for two years, due
to the falsification of documents concerning the ages of players for the CONCACAF U-20
championship in Guatemala in April 1988; Mexico had used four over-age players. FIFA confirmed
on July 5th 1988 that Guatemala would replace Mexico in the final tournament in South Korea.
