Paraguay coach Gerardo Martino is impressed by Mexico's performance so far at the World Cup.

Martino says all the Latin American teams have started well in South Africa, but "the one really playing well - and considering the group they're playing in - Mexico is doing a very good job."

Martino also mentioned Uruguay, Chile and his native Argentina on Saturday, saying they've "done a good job."

The only Latin American team to lose so far in South Africa is Honduras, which lost 1-0 to Chile - another Latin American team.

Martino's Paraguay squad opened its World Cup campaign with a 1-1 draw against defending champion Italy. Paraguay plays Slovakia on Sunday in their second Group F match.
