Herrera criticized the conditions under which his team were
forced to travel from New York to Atlanta for Wednesday's
semi-final against Panama at the Georgia Dome.
"Mexico is the team that fills the stadiums and we are not being
treated well... We should be getting more consideration,"
Herrera told reporters.
"We had to wait three hours, then they packed two teams (into
the plane) and CONCACAF people, I don't know why. We were all
squashed," he added of Monday's arduous trip.
"Our luggage had to go by land because of too much weight on the
plane... They say we're carrying too much but we're the ones who
put most fans in the stadiums.
"During the flight, the players were squeezed in and that can't
be. We played extra time and the players shouldn't have to wait
so long (at the airport) and travel in those conditions."
Mexico beat Costa Rica 1-0 after extra time at the MetLife in
New Jersey on Sunday to reach the last four.
Hosts and title holders the United States face Jamaica in the
other semi-final, also in Atlanta on Wednesday.
