US @ Mexico Match Thread - 7:30pm PDT

Playing at Estadio Azteca in a WC qualifier is an almost impossible win for the US.

I'd be thrilled with a draw.

 

Hope the players keep their heads.

 

That was actually funny. Well done!

 

Beasley with a yellow card in the 7th minute. Ugh

 

Yawn. Why is ESPN wasting air space with Sucker.

 

Only the 2nd draw ever for the US in a WC qualifier for the US in Mexico.

Zero wins, ever, other than a friendly last year.

Huge result!!!

 

really got lucky with the no call on edu penalty..man that was a stupid challenge. take hte point tho

 

Definitely should have been a PK.

Whatever, though. The yellow cards early in the match against the US were bogus, too. Mexico was diving a lot, and it came back to bite them in extra time.

 

s

yeah the yellow cards were bogus. so was the first pk claim when chicarito was pushed off the ball, never a penalty in my book

 

neither deserve to make it to the World Cup!

 

Both will, but the US looks freaking horrible offensively these days.

 

There is a gif out there of the play. He gets the ball, but yeah, it was pretty dumb and I think if the player didn't flail like a fish out of water the ref would have called it.

 

anyone from Portland on Team USA? Fuck Landon Donovan!

 

So, essentially, the draw is a win tonight?

 

It is 'murrica.

 

nope.

 

Yeah. In all qualifiers they are 68-1-6 (or 7, not sure if that stat was from before tonight). 7500 feet, smog, the best team historically in our region and fans who throw bags of piss and vomit on opposing players. Its the best home field advantage in sports.

 

Don't forget how their fans point lasers in the opposing keeper's eyes. Tim Howard's face looked like a target last August during that friendly.

 

Sad thing is that happens everywhere these days.

 

it is mexico, the country where you wipe your ass and put the toilet paper in a trash can next to you.
