@refsneedlovetoo: IMO this is a legal throw-in per the Laws of the Game. In this particular instance, you can easily make the argument that all of the conditions are met at the moment the player delivers the ball. Even if you think it is a foul throw, the officials can play advantage since Mexico immediately gained possession. Additionally, 80% of throw-ins are turned over in three passes or less. They are generally an inconsequential restart in the defending half of the field. Many teams will now immediately kick the ball directly out of bounds on a kickoff to force their opponents into a throwing in the defending half of the field. Officials will generally look the other way on procedural issues, such as lifting the foot on a throw in so that they can just get the game restarted quickly and keep the flow of the match going.
