Well, I am hoping Mexico wins, of course, and that Mr. Clutch doesn't get hurt, of course, but moreover, I don't want a QuarterFinal against the United States... I fear for my own life here at work... actually, being teased about our winless 2000's streak against El Equipo De Las Barras Y Las Estrellas. MoBalls, if there is a QF here in Houston with Mexico playing, we're going, aren't we? I will give you a call, brother. I am going to the Astros' game tonight... I will try to make it home to watch the entire game... if I can. Hopefully we close out the 9 innings early!

With Honduras up 3-0 over Cuba at the half, Mexico is all but guaranteed of advancing. Still, a Mexican draw or loss mean an all Rio Grande quarter.
WOW panama is getting really close to scoring ....again! Just barely missed twice in the last 5 min. Good game.
over the years sure, but on this team!?!?!? you said players on their team which means the "now" team and that is just not true. i'll give you sanchez but aside from that the rest of the guys are pros. which certainly does not make a team full of dirty players.
Right, Marquez headbutting Cobi was a clean play, and Blanco got a red card a couple of games ago for just being an all around nice guy. There are some new guys that haven't resorted to playing dirty but I thinks that's just because they haven't had enough time to get adapted to that style of play.

In related news... 13 junior Haitian soccer players desert national team in New York By SAMANTHA GROSS, Associated Press Writer June 14, 2007 NEW YORK (AP) -- Most of a Haitian national youth soccer team apparently deserted the squad during an airport stopover hours before a planned Wednesday trip to South Korea to prepare for the upcoming FIFA Under-17 World Cup. By Wednesday afternoon, five or six of the 13 missing players had returned to the airport and turned themselves in to team officials, said Felix Augustin, the Haitian consul in New York. It was unclear where the youngsters had been and why they had left the team, he said. Authorities were still looking for the others late Wednesday night, Augustin said by telephone. Most of the team's 18 players, all under age 17, had gone missing from John F. Kennedy International Airport between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, Augustin said. Earlier, Augustin had said that officials were making calls to members of the Haitian community to try to get the children back. The players arrived from Haiti on Tuesday and were scheduled to leave early Wednesday for Seoul, South Korea, to play in an exhibition tournament ahead of the World Cup, which takes place in South Korea from Aug. 18 to Sept. 9. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the airport, said it was aware of the situation and had assigned police officers to investigate. A spokeswoman for the U.S. Embassy in Haiti, Shaila B. Manyam, said embassy officials were looking into the matter. Augustin said authorities believed adults not traveling with the team may be involved in the players' desertion and warned they could face criminal charges unless they turn over the minors. "It seems that some adults may have been involved. If so, they are going to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," said Augustin, who declined to give further details. Speaking to a Haitian Creole-language radio station in New York, the president of the Haitian Football Federation, Yves Jean-Bart, warned the youngsters that they were hurting their futures and threatened to involve U.S. authorities "unless these players reinstate themselves as soon as possible." Jean-Bart gave no indication why the players would abandon the team. But Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, and thousands of Haitians leave the country each year to escape miserable living conditions, violence and political instability. A spokeswoman for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Lucille Cirillo, said the agency would help investigators in any way possible. But, she said, immigration officials would not typically become involved in such cases until the players had overstayed the time for which they were admitted, which could be up to six months. The apparent desertions dealt a major blow to Haitian soccer, which has been experiencing a resurgence of late after years of dismal performances. The U17s qualified for the biennial World Cup for the first time in the Caribbean nation's history earlier this year, while the men's team won the Caribbean Cup for the first time in January. Associated Press writer Stevenson Jacobs contributed to this report from Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
I think he went to party with the Panameños and really DID get hurt. Seriously speaking, though, I am having a tough time posting today... I have to help my uncle clear out all the ambulance stuff left over from the many heart attacks we had last night during the game ... I swear to G, we should have lost that game... Panamá had so many shots it was UNREAL. Well, it is now against Costa Rica on Sunday... they weren't as tough as they were when they beat us in Estadio Azteca, but Medford has been a good coach and is giving them confidence using that one win to instill a sense of pride. I recall seeing him celebrating the win... I won't get to go... I will be in the valley... SI SE PUEDE.
It looks like Sundays game will sell out pretty soon, all of the $25 and $50 tickets are gone already.

again he's not on this team and that was over 5 years ago!! i'll agree he's an idiot. but c'mon that elbow was weak and the guy fell like he stepped on a land mine. the ref bought it and while i disagree with blanco's actions, it was not unprovoked. the honduran guy was do this wierd kissing his ears and neck bull**** the whole game. it's disgusting, annoying, and downright wierd behaviour and blanco's stupid for falling for it knowing that concacrap refs were in the house. so you agree, there's 2 dirty players on the current roster of 23. hardly FULL! which was why i responded to your dumb post in the first place. your statement was completely false and full of prejudgment.
