You're severely underrating Mexico, my friend. Good

no...let's just say I'm tired of overrating them and watching them choke in the first knockout game.

 

[Lorenzo]

I hate argentina more than any other soccer team. Messi isn't the same without Xavi/Iniesta spoonfeeding him, there is no way he is as deadly as he is in barca.

Maradona doesn't know what the hell he's doing. I will love to see them fall.

if argentina play mexico messi will look like maradona! easy victory! just like 2006 with maxi rod scoring a volley like benny feilhaber lol!

Pretty sure it wasnt an "easy" victory when it took them til extra time to beat Mexico. You're just coming off as an ignorant Mexico hater tired of seeing the US get owned by them. I dont mind the US, but i do dislike ignorant US fans. Right up there with the Lakers in terms of annoyance. If the reffings called right, Mexico should blow them out, easily.

Thats too bad for you, lorenzotexan. :-D

Hilarious. Clearly you don't pay much attention, because other than in games in the crap hole that is Azteca, the US has dominated Mexico as of late, the only sport you have any hope at competing in. (Next comes the idiotic comment about you beating our C squad, I can't wait)

When was this so called "owning"? Don't bring up your beating our B-/C squad in the Gold Cup.

We beat you at home nearly every time since 2000 and we beat you on neutral ground too(or are you too young to remember South Korea 2002?).

US Record Vs Mexico 11 Wins 4 losses 2 draws since 2000.

Who is ignorant now?

 

[Shzm13]

Excuses, excuses.

Mexico vs USA- 30 wins 13 losses 10 draws

Not. Even. Close.

US had a nice little run after ducking the Azteca for years. Talent has been replenished, Mexicos poised to dominate while the US has a poor level of talent and bad coaching.

Again, i don't even hate the US, despite them being rivals of Mexico. Just pointing out the obvious.

 

[Dr. Jones]

I am up..... I am ready...... I am excited for the next month.


What a great way to get me through till training camp.

Yeah it is easy beating up on a country prior to them having a pro league, no funding in their program...US had a losing record to a lot of CONCACAF teams prior to then.

Again since 2000(you know the current century) the US owns Mexico...You have 4 wins against us since then, 3 in Azteca (all by 1 goal) and 1 in the US by beating our non-starters. Crow all you want.

When did we "duck azteca"? Your own national team doesn't play there for matches outside of WCQ's because the play is simply a dump. In fact Mexico plays most of their friendlies in the US because pretty much every stadium is a dump and there is no money in Mexico that isn't controlled by a cartel.

The arrogance of our third world step brothers to the south is astounding.

Oh and bad coaching? Last I saw you guys had Aguirre who was throroughly outcoached by Arena in 2002 and true to form I am sure you will fire him shortly after the WC and replace him with someone else and then someone else will take over again. I am not a Bob Bradley fan but Aguirre isn't what I'd consider an upgrade.

Go South Africa...oh and yes I HATE Mexico, with the same passion I reserve for the Yankees, Cowboys, Raiders and the NBA as a whole.

 

[CaptTurbo]

When Mexico doesnt play the US I cheer for them. The better they are the better w elook when we beat them. If they are crap like the rest of CONCACAF then it gives my European friends more ammo.

 

[Dr. Jones]

I root for my hemisphere when we don't play them..... Go Mexico.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

Has anyone been able to get the ESPN live coverage to work? The page is getting an error for me. I can listen to the radio though.

 

[CaptTurbo]

typical Mexico dominating play but watch them end up losing lol

 

[Dr. Jones]

Man.... what was the side judge looking at?? That was a very bad call. Mexico should be up 1-0 right now.

 

[Dr. Jones]

I think we might see a draw....

 

[Zeno]

South Africa hasn't been a threat on the offensive end at all, all those corner kicks and nothing dangerous came out it.

It'll be interesting to see what kind of adjustments Parreira does at halftime, he can't be particularly happy.

 

[Shzm13]

You must be registered for see images attach

The finishing is coming in the 2nd half. Aside from that late surge by SA, we've dominated the game. Franco just cant finish, Hernandez would've sank all 4 of those opportunities.

 

[Zeno]

I root for my hemisphere when we don't play them..... Go Mexico.

If you mean Western Hemisphere, me too(England, France, Portugal, Spain, Brazil, Argentina) but I can't in good conscience cheer for those flopping, diving scum to the south.

 

[Shzm13]

There was no offsides. The play was called correctly. The yellows weren't worthy, imo, but I guess the ref just wanted to set the tone from the get go.

 

[Zeno]

that ball is sailing, it seems like every cross is too long and most set pieces are too high

 

[rode kardinaal]

Come again? If you're talking about the goal/offside situation, the refs were spot on. So far the refs have been pretty good.

 

[Zeno]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!

People tend to forget to count the GK as a "defender"

 

[CaptTurbo]

Goal South Africa! Mexico playing 3 forwards cant score and giving S Africa great counter attack chances.

 

[rode kardinaal]

There wasn't a replay to confirm it, but it lood pretty close to being offside. Great finish though.
