Grade the US against Mexico

[axnjxn]

C is the best they deserve, defense was poor, they got ran over numerous times and on the offensive side they forgot to play up to expectations.

[FLsavages]

Grade wise give them a "C-"... It was hard to watch. They just did not appear to have it all together.

However we showed how easily Mexico can be beaten when we got our only goal. We made three or four nice passes and before the Tri new what hit them we were at the top of the 18 and burying the ball in the net! Mark my words, other countries will learn from our experience. Mexico will be lucky to qualify for Germany.

[Mosco]

They already have!!

F
I think we failed. Coaching staff and players.

Many of you guys act like playing soccer at 7,000+ feet on a hot day is easy.

Let me tell ya, it's a ball breaker. Your lungs burn and the legs feel full of lead.

I respect of all you, really. But many of you have not given the Mexican team any credit or taken into account the altitude. No way. The US team knew going in that it was going to be a tough tough game. This is why they played a conservative plan. Before going to Mexico for the game I was confident the US would win. But once there I realized it wasn't going to be easy.

My two cents; BA was going for a tie. He almost had it except of the major mistake on the second goal. We were lucky they didn't score 5 or 6 goals.

I was at field level at midfield. Claudio was seriously huffing and puffing. I have a different appreciation for Eddie Lewis now. The guy played his heart out. But he too was beat toward the end. But he never gave up.

My score: B-

All of you think back in time to one of your own games... a hot day against a very good team inspired to beat the hell out of you. Cuatemoc Blanco looked like a caged tiger pacing up and down the field. Did you see anyone on our team playing with the same ferocity? No, they were trying to catch their next breath. With a couple of better defenders we still could have pulled a tie.

I think that since the USA are 0-22-2 (0 being the amount of wins) it went as well as could be expected.As soon as the U.S play mpre quality competition
that 0 might turn into 5 or 6 wins.I give the U.S a F minus for never winnig at the Azteca Stadium.............. :cool:

donovan sucked b***, no wonder hes coming back to america. He cant play, i cant believe mani peeps think hes the pele of americ (some donovan threads). Johnson is good, but not donovan. The americans played dirty too, and espn2 and most of the broadcasters of the game never give close ups to fouls committed by americans only by the opposing teams. Mexico played pretty good in the first half, but in the second half it seemed they were paid to not to play. They didnt make the same runs and wen they got a few chances they missed. Like forciecas chance in the send half and he missed a goal which all he had to do is jus tap that ball. Plus the commentary sucks b***, its pro-american and the guys dont know wut they r talkin bout.

[loden]

Disgusting. Total lack of aggression, sluggishness and most of all total lack of heart. I gave a C because I liked how Johnson and one of the defenders fought for the ball; showed a good deal of tenacity. Too bad there's is 11 players on a team.

Didn't we beat portugal in 2002 WC? Imagine if Mexico played Portugal in Azteca Mexico eats Portugal for breakfast.

It is my belief that some one is trying to change Donovans and that person is Arena he wants to make him a Reyna clone. I like Donovans original game a lot better then Reynas.

Mexico evidently can only win against us in Mexico. The next WC is not taking place in Azteca it's taking place in Germany. Mexico can't win against us in Germany if they make it far enough to get to play the US.

[okiebear]

Ray Luca hit it on the head. Let Donovan play his attacking game and let Reyna go away.

What were they throwing at you guys? I think it was during half time or something when yall were dancing under the American flag, I saw them throwing beer but I also heard that they like to pee in plastic bags and throw it at people.

[Mosco]

he he he thats are main ingrediant! piss!

[babbel]

:eek: Mexico evidently can only win against us in Mexico. The next WC is not taking place in Azteca it's taking place in Germany. Mexico can't win against us in Germany if they make it far enough to get to play the US.
:mad: Are you nuts Mexico is more valued than USA. Yes the next World Cup is in Germany but bro I would put a Mexican team out to play for my life over a USA squad I hope the USA can qualify for Germany and if they qualify I hope they make it out of the first round............ :D

[WarpedTheory]

he he he thats are main ingrediant! piss!

Wow, I feel bad for the people your throwing it at. Wouldn't beer better, piss a little much. :D
