Rather amusing, actually...
'MY MOTHER COULD DO BETTER THAN THAT!'
'Look out for Mexico at the next women's World Cup!' That is the stunning message of outspoken Mexico men's coach Ricardo La Volpe, who revealed his hand with some equally stunning post-match vitriol aimed in the direction of the mighty U.S. of A.
http://img1.eurosport.com/imgbk/footbl/all/md-i188743.jpg</IMG> La Volpe saw his side beaten two-goals-to-zip on Saturday allowing the American squad to start brushing up on their high school German, but Mexico's big enchilada was unimpressed.
"It's a little team," La Volpe said. "Here, everyone's interested in baseball and American football and many people didn't even know that a soccer match was being played today. So it's easy for them, because they aren't playing under any pressure. My mother, my grandmother or my great grandmother could play in a team like that."

Fortunately, the U.S.'s ambassador for peace, Landon Donovan - brother of hard-graft Aussie actor/singer/songwriter Jason - was on hand to calm the pressure cooker atmosphere of the locker room.
"They suck," said the San Jose Earthquakes diplomat. "I'm so happy. After we got that first goal they were never in the game. Hopefully that will shut them up for the next three or four years."
