Usually losses/draws but they're of the 1-0 variety in the Copa America against Uruguay and Argentina. They beat USA 2-1 in last WC Qualifying campaign and held mexico to 0-0 draw in Azteca.
If it wasn't for a late USA rally in the last WC qualifying campaign, it would have been Panama and not Mexico at the World Cup; assuming Panama also would beat New Zealand.
