Vote with my heart = Mexico 1-2 US. US scores in 90th minute.
Vote with my head = Mexico 1-0 US. Too much for a Bruce Arena team to handle. Altitude, polution + 100,000 + fans hurling debris on the players.

Both my heart and my head feels that the US will eek out a hard fought, 1-0 win, with Kasey Keller standing on his head the last 15 minutes to perserve the shutout.

Worst place to play in the world. The Azteca will be a zoo, and I have trouble believing we will win. A draw would be a fantastic result.

If we score first and draw first blood those whiney bitches will implode. The USMNT is a superior team, but we all know that we'll be playing more than the Mexican team we'll be playing against the altitude, pollution and bags of urine. That's what the Mexican is counting on! A draw would be a good result but Like baby jesus Donovan said. "We have to win on the road in tough places to reach the next level" This is the first time that I feel our squad has the best opportunity to reverse the curse of Azteca. I've seen the Mexican turn on itself when behind. The place will become quiet, and whistles and jeers, will come from the stands. Mark my words if there is no score at the half we will win! The Mexican is a defeatist and pessimistic side and fans of the TRI will turn on their team in a heartbeat. I've seen it happen "Oh no we are going to loose" instead of This is our half they are tired we are going to take them now"

I can't help but detect just a tinge of racism in your tone....... I hope your right but I fear your wrong. The baloon's full of piss are hard to contend with, and I don't think Mexico is as bad as you may think. Also, I wouldn't charactarize Mexico as defeatist or pessimistic. They play positive football, and I've seen them come from two goals down more than once. World Cup in 98 they were down 2-0 to somebody and finished 2-2. After all, they are MexiCANS.

I think he means the fans turn on the team when they don't play well. I personally have seen it in the '97 draw.
My heart says win by one goal, my head says draw.

Belgium was who they came back on in 98..... I hate to be the realist here but...... Hope you guys are right.

US will certainly play very conservatively. If Mexico scores first I think the US is going to have a tough time against the tri-color and the Azteca crowd.
Heart says 1-0 US.
Head says 1-0 Mexico. But hoping for at least another 0-0 Azteca result.

3-0 US :D
The Tricolores give up one early in the match off a a corner and in their panic as time winds down in the second half leave themselves exposed to two devastating counterattacks. The 117,000 fans rain projectiles and whistles at their own defeated and cowed players who refuse en masse to exchange jerseys at the end of the match.

Thinking positively... MEX 0-1 USA, with another late Pope goal or something.
Thinking realistically... MEX 0-0 USA

You detect wrong. I know Mexican soccer and I've seen the Mexican National team play every single game for the past four years. I am lot closer than you are to Mexico and its soccer and not only that I also speak the language and know their customs. Trust me on this one. When their backs are against the wall "Si se puede" (Yes we can or it is possible) will not cut it. USMNT is superior to the Mexican side the & the only advantages that the Mexican will have is bags filled w/ urine, the altitude and air pollution. A lone goal will take care of the urine bags for they will be thrown at El Tri, Arenas has had his boys tng. in the altitude for a while now so the only thing that USMNT will have to contend will be the pollution. Good thing that this is Semana Santa (holy week) and there will be far less traffic than normal.

Exactly what I was trying to convey.

oops.
I can see a scenerio where each of those results could happen...except the 2-1 US win......so I went with that.

The answer is US 1 - Mexico 1.
And I'd be thrilled with the result. Although a win would be great, a tie is a fantastic result in Mexico City.
