Result of Mexico vs USMNT

[RafaMarquez]

I think the heavy weight will be disputed over who does better finishing the HEX, isnt that a fair argument ?

[killedelvis]

Agreed.
That is fair. Although I do hope that both sides go all out in the rematch. It would be a shame if Mexico or the US had already clinched a spot and decided to try out new rosters. Then again, that's the way it goes sometimes.
And the pics you posted were neat too.

Whos the CONCACAF giant now? :rolleyes:

So Mexico is the the numero uno in CONCACAF.....? TOO LATE FOR THAT....and todays game...not to demerit Mexican efforts, were more an experiment by Bruce than a tactical prose from LaVolpe .....Oyenwo...? Noonan..? Bealey on the right..? Mc Bride on the Bench ?... bunker ball...?

Were if Bruce Arena is still experimenting at this state, the US is in a lot of trouble

And IF the US wins the return leg, would that make the US the "heeeaavvyyweiighhtt chaaaaammmpiiiooon of cooonnnccccaaacccaaaffff ", or would it mean that they are two very even teams?

Looking at how Mexico and the US played today that is a pretty big "IF"

[Inamsay]

Not quite as i predicted (3-1) but the 2-1 was nice. Could have been 4-1 easily but Mexico didn't put em in, however they manage to put in the key ones in the first half. I was a nice game, spiced up by the US goal towards the end. In the first half, the US did not take advantage of Donovan's talent by throwing em back to defend as a midfield shield. The US's goal, was started by him. Alberto Medina who entered in the second half forced the americans to be cautious in the back instead of searching the goal with all eleven. So that was a good move by LaVolpe.
Nice game honestly.

GO MEXICO!

MEEEEEEXXXXXXIIIIICCCCCCCOOOOOOOO


Now lets not get crazy here. I predicted that Mexico would win and... they did. If the two teams played on a neutral pitch (like world cup 2002), then I think the US is the better team. Nice win for you guys though, but don't let it get to your head.

The Mexican was clrearly the better side on Sunday. There is no question. They saw weaknesses and exploited it like a good team should have. Our defense left plenty to be desired and our attack lacked crispness. Our match against Guatemala took a new meaning when in the referee blew his whistle in Azteca. Mexico is no CONCACAF champ no more than the USMNT would have been if we had won. The Mexican did what it was supposed to do and that is win in Azteca. It is unfortunate that the best team did not play up to its potential. To find out who the best in CONCACAF we will have to wait for the results of the HEX. Congratulations to Mexico for their victory as they were the best team between 1200-1400 on 27MAR05.
One some unsolicited piece of advise and one question.
Cut Blanco now. That miscreant will cost you more than what you think and tell Kikin to cool his jets. Someone will eventually provoke those guys and get red-carded.

What did La Volpe say to get sent off?

[Stan Collins]

Not quite as i predicted (3-1) but the 2-1 was nice. You did turn out to have a point that Mexico scored the second while the US was still trying to figure out what to do about the first. I don't know why LaVolpe subbed Borgetti out before Blanco, though. Borgetti terrorized our defense, where Blanco was useless.

[Inamsay]

What did i say?

Mexico 2-1.

It was a good game, the US repects Mexico too much in the Azteca which is what ********s them in the end. If they played like they play outside of Mexico, they would have better chances. They did not take advantage of Donovan's talent in the first half. They had em busy defending rather than attacking.
So long as Mexico repects the US, they can beat em.

I'm sorry, I couldn't hear all the respect that the Mexicans had for the US. Must have been drowned out by the "Osama" chants.

[Inamsay]

In reply to Stan Collins:

My man, Blanco is not a forward, even though he acts like one. Yesterday's game showed exactly what Blanco's job is in the field. Take a look at the second goal. Carmona in the right side, cuts in towards the midfield and swtiches all the way to the left field, blanco hits it one touch and suprises the US defense, both defenders go for Borghetti, and leave Zinha wide open, Borghetti just headers it to Zinha's shoes and GOAL.
Blanco's move was what suprised the defense, the key of the second goal and therefore the game

Smartest thing anyone has said

TEXGATOR, when I say respect, i mean in the field. Mexico lost against the US in the World Cup because Mex had to respect for the US, it underestimated. What happens outside of the field cannot be controlled. In the last game between these two teams, at the Reliant Stadium in Houston, When US won with a last minute goal 1-0, there was a white fold with a big ass sign that read "Remember the Alamo"

WTF?

This crap is uncalled for but uncontrollable. I admit its wrong but what can one do.

[Inamsay]

correction, i meant White Folk*

[texgator]

You do realize that it was not Mexicans who were slaughtered at the Alamo, right?

Remember the Alamo is not wrong. It is a patriotic slogan of our heritage.

The yell of Osama is an ignorant rant in support for a terrorist.

Not a good start to your Big Soccer Career.

Who cares about the Osama chants? Toughen up fellows, toughen up.
