    LOL @ this:
    What about these:

    <table><tr><td>Copa America 1995:
    <object width="420" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/AoqCpsGyFIA?version=3&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/AoqCpsGyFIA?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></td><td> Gold Cup 2007:
    <object width="420" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6I3HCOMYTYc?version=3&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6I3HCOMYTYc?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></td></tr></table>

    ^ Those are good, too. I included one from more than 10 years ago, too, since you like "the past." :cool: You want more? I have.

    LOL @ DaDakota bringing up "punishing everyone except Mexico"... :grin:

    It is true though, the USA and Mexico are the class of Concacaf, neither should be struggling with some of these lessor teams.

    There are a lot of great players not on the roster, Shea, Davies, Holden, Feilhaber - lots more to choose from when everyone is healthy.

    El Salvador played bad too, they were not better than Mexico, but I agree that Mexico didnt play well.
    and the ref was awful, SLV kicked Guardado, Dos Santos and everybody but they only got like 1 or 2 yellow cards.

    They might lose, but I think they'll show up.

    It's limited to MLS and Mexican league players, so new players are gonna get a taste of Azteca.

    Well it's a non-fifa date. People are saying euro teams won't release players mid preseason for this game.

    Just kidding, after more reading I find out people don't know what they're talking about and it is a fifa date.


    So I have no idea who will be playing.

    It will still likely be mostly all domestic based players. I doubt seriously they're going to drag Dempsey, Howard, and all the other Euro based players back for a meaningless game while they're in the middle of their preseason.

    That's fine with me. Should mean Cameron gets a call. I'd love to see Brad Davis get one. I don't know what else he has to do to earn a shot.

    Aren't we going to play there a couple months later in WCQ? It may be worth dragging those players there. Azteca is always tough, the more experience the better.

    You're probably right though. From what I hear, Mexico's team will be mainly domestic players.

    Won't be until sometime in 2013 at the earliest...the final round of qualification. The current round won't end until October.
