    Mexico went for the draw today and Argentina’s talent won out.

    That probably seals it for mexico. There is some hope there but you're behind 3 teams with the worst goal differential. I dont see where you can get goals from in this mexico side. The most average mexico side in decades for sure.

    Great goals from argentina btw

    First time since 1978 that Mexico is winless in their first two matches during Group Stage. Concacaf taking L's out here. All up to America, I guess.

    Agreed on all points. A 0-0 draw will certainly bring out there "hurr durr, soccer kickball" crowd (as evidenced by a certain someone posting sarcastic tweets above), but getting a point against England was nice. We've now got tabloids reporting that the team wants Gio to play more, but Berhalter is making up injuries to keep Gio on the bench.

    Not disputing at all that 0-0 is toxic for casual fans. Hell, it sucked watching it. A 0-0 draw is one of the hardest things to explain to non-soccer fans other than "Yeah, it can happen. It sucks. But we still got a positive result that helps us in the grand scheme of things."

    excellent. I sure do love a mexico loss. They all seem to play out similarly, too.

    Mexico is an embarrassment.

    Play negative football. Get negative results.

    They are bad at this.

    They need to pick up a new sport.
