    Vamos Mexico!!!

    I hate soccer but is my country MEXICO

    Mexico 1 EU 0

    Gol by Kikin Fonseca or Borgetti

    And Slowly I know what should be in the signature of Leroy:

    Viva Mexico cab....!!!

    Only one team have won in the Estadio Azteca ever. ( not the US)

    And Mexico is BETTER in FUTBOL

    I'm sorry, but this is waaaaaay too much talk about soccer.

    The Rockets play at noon. Your focus should be on that and nothing else.

    The Rockets play more than 80 games every year. A World Cup Qualifying game against Mexico happens twice every four years. That's where the focus should be.

    Mexico is such a dirty team. And they always have been. Thankfully it appears the refs today are not going to let them get away with their tactics.

    Bad 5 minutes for the US. Two goals for Mexico and a yellow card for Beasley, meaning he misses the Guatamala match on Wednesday. I was worried when I saw that we had a central defense of Onyewu and Berthalter, now I know why.

    A real bad 5 minute stretch by the US. They simply aren't threatening on the offensive third and Mexico is taking advantage of it by sending numbers foward.

    I will say this. Blanco is the Karla Malone of soccer. A whining, flopping little b*tch. He would be a much better player if he'd just shut his mouth and play the game.

    No, this is only one game in a series of 10 between six nations. The top three teams automatically qualify and the fourth team has a playoff against an Asian nation to get in.

    Well, overall I am a little disappointed in the play of the US team. They played the first half not to lose. Once they started pushing foward in the 2nd half, things started to happen. They got good shots and finally a goal in the 58th. They almost immediately reverted back to the tactics of the first half and were sitting back too much, even when it seemed like they were pushing foward. No crossing runs, no crosses, and no taking chances. Who cares if you lose 2-1 or 3-1. You have to push foward and go for the goal when your on the road. You have nothing to lose.

    Mexico simply put their chances in the goal and the US didn't have enough chances. It was a good game by both sides. My only complaint about Mexico is Blanco. I wish he would just go away.

    They'll just have to take it out on Guatemala on Wednesday.

    SwoLy-D, I await my punishment.
