I see Costa Rica taking that match. However, Honduras is always such an unpredictable side that runs so hot and cold so if they get hot it should be a tight match.

I saw CR vs mex

the ticos are better prepared physically....but talent wise they are all the same! It will take a better preparation mentally from the bench to overcome each other.... the same goes for the other game

USA: gives up too many goals, has pros in the top of the formation with more experience than the mexies
MEX: is the local team baby! that is hard to overcome in that country, good luck to both.... no word if ABC or a mexican Mogul in tv to pick up the game?


I also heard couple of comments in radio and TV....that the level of the tournament was pist poor... will you concurr to that?

The level might be piss poor, but we must use hindsight. Must realize that most of these players are just kids and for a lot of them they have little or no exposure to this type of situation up to this point. And I believe a few of the countries are missing some of their better stars due to club involvement overseas. So piss poor....maybe, but these aren't senior internationals(for the most part).

sunday morning: out fishing? you are using the wrong bait!

2nd warning before a yellow card.

[efernandez9]

Landon Donavan, indicó hoy que en el área de la Concacaf los duelos entre México y Estados Unidos se han convertido en un clásico y la balanza está para cualquier lado por diferencia de un gol, 1-0 o 2-1.

Al final del duelo en que superaron a Honduras 4-3 en el Estadio 3 de Marzo, Donovan reconoció que el duelo ante los mexicanos será muy complicado porque por orgullo los locales no querrán perder ante su afición, pero advirtió que no por ellos son invencibles.

Señaló que los últimos enfrentamientos se han tornado un poco ríspidos por la rivalidad entre ambas selecciones, pero que la escuadra de las barras y las estrellas está mentalizada en que el objetivo de ese duelo es el pase a los Juegos Olímpicos Atenas 2004.

Resaltó que durante el primer partido ante Panamá padecieron errores defensivos y recibieron tres goles, pero que ya corrigieron ese detalle y mostrarán un futbol más equilibrado.

"Tenemos jugadores peligrosos al frente y estamos seguros que anotaremos, y si aunado a esto mostramos solidez defensiva seguramente estaremos en Atenas", anticipó.

USA 3 - Mexico 1 , C.R. 2 - Honduras 0

[Old Cosmos Fan]

Regardless of who wins we should be proud of the teams. Not take it out on others! I don't mean to preach, but all the negativity s**ks!!

[efernandez9]

WHAT if 92 minutes of regulation give you a tie?
How they decide, straight PKs like the conmebol decision to athens? or 30 minutes of OT

6 times in a row from The Usa in the olympics, can some one post, how they made it to the last 2 olympics?


good luck to both tonite.

In 2000 the US came in 4th in 96 they failed to make it out of the first round.

I am not too familiarized with our sub 23 nor with Mexico's. I've heard the MX team plays better than the National, any comments?

[Milk!]

It seems that the sub-23 Mexican team plays better as a team than the senior team. The last few matches, the senior team seems to have trouble in the midfield and up front. It just seems like they're kicking the ball around waiting for someone to do something. The sub-23 seems to have a bit more cohesion in their game, but I haven't seen all the games, and it does look like they have not played the best match that they are capable of.

Well in 96 we didn't have to qualify since the Olympics were held in the area surrounding Atlanta (at least the soccer games were).
