And Mexico starts talking

The first rule of fight club is...

 

Mexico is everyone's bitch. Except Brazil, who for some reason can't beat them. Maybe they feel sorry for them.

 

bitch please mexico can beat anyone and specially brazil and usa

 

Portugal, Argentina, and Landon Donovan disagree

Riddle me this. When's the last time Mexico defeated the USA when the elevation has been under a mile and our players weren't breathing ash?

 

1845 was it?

 

Who is allowed to speak badly:

Any US Nat since 1999.
Anyone on Big Soccer
Anyone in the US
Honduras
Panama
Argentina
Mexican fans the day after they play the US

Who's not
Hugo Sanchez
Richard LaVolpe

 

you guys crack me up LOL

All I hear is that the USA "F" team is going to wipe the floor with Mexico's "A" team and all this other nonsense so I just want to clear a few things up.

1.- Don't flatter yourselves, while we really do want to win this game, we didn't bring our European based players solely for that reason. Mexico always takes advantage of FIFA dates to bring the group together and train for a few days. Do some research and you'll understand what I'm talking about.

2.- There are like 6 or 7 different Mexico threads around here, not to mention the ones in your MLS Forums. What's the deal with that? Does playing Mexico turn you on that much?

3.- Your record against us is based on YOUR home games that are played here on US soil. You guys have NEVER won in Mexico, EVER. Although you did win on neutral ground (Korea) and when it counted. I fully respect that but the overall record of games played between our countries is much, much more lopsided, again, do some research and you'll see.

4.- Please, don't try to translate Mexican media articles around here. There is a certain journalistic style in Mexico, they like controversy and look to rile people up. Not to mention you don't know our language (I'm guessing) and don't understand such intricacies, and when you translate some things, the meaning is lost in translation, which could lead to World Rivalries style feuds around here.

5.- Stop piling all us Mexicans into the same category of "classless el Tri fans", because I know there are some crazzy folk around here who think Jozy and Freddy are the best ever and the US will win the WC in '10 just like there are also crazy mexican fans but I've met more than my fair share of gracious and intelligent US Soccer fans (I grew up playing with some of them) so yeah...

Anywho...good luck to you guys and I honestly hope it's as entertaining a game as the Gold Cup Final (although I'm praying nightly and making deals with the guy upstairs so that he'll finally end this curse.)

Toodles

 

The first week in February, after 3 months of off season, its all that there is so yes it does.

When Mexico stops playing 'home' games here (and not just versus the US), I'll actually worry about where the match is.

 

I think you would prefer having those "crazy folk" preaching the word of Adu and Altidore than have classless Tri fans throwing beer and wanting to fight you at the games. In my opinion Mexico has way more to prove than the U.S does hence the call-up of the exiled Sinha.Anyway, this is shaping up to be another classic battle. Heres to whooping Mexico just for the hell of it again. Enjoy the game and may the best team win. GO USA.

 

Don't forget when we knocked you out of the Copa America (in penalties?), I was like 5 or 6 when that happened.

 

Let's spot em a goal again, just to make it hurt worse.

 

soooo many threads on this, mostly because outside of Poland this is the only other quality team we own in competition.

 

you know I'm curious, and I know for some of you it might be taken as a blasphemy, what would you guys say if Mexico beat the US....and then beat them again a few times would that mean that the times the US has beaten mexico have been just luck?

 

No. We're better. We proved it. Repeatedly. End of Story.

It is now Mexico who has to prove their worth against USA.

 

No, but it would make the rivalry even more intense. As a US fan losing a couple would suck, but isn't that how rivalries grow?

 

If that were to happen, I would take it to mean that Mexico is once again superior to the US in football. Just as, currently, the US is superior to Mexico (Since 2000 the US are 8-2-1 against Mexico).

 

What are these embarrassments in World Cups that you speak of? Sending Colombia and Portugal home in the group stage? Nailing Mexico's ass in the knock-out stage? Being the only team to take a point off of Italy? Really, I'm interested. Oh yeah, we lost to Iran in 1998, I'll grant you that one.

 

This is good.

 

No. It would mean the new generation of Mexican's are better than the old generation of Mexican'ts.

 

Time for some friendly trivia!

What is the number of Official non-Concacaf wins by the US this decade?

Give up? The answer is 1 : Portugal 2002

1 win since the turn of the millenium and 0 since 2002

Thanks for playing

 

That was also the same tournament we beat some team 2-0 in the 2nd round if I recall...

 

LOL... how many games must they lose before they are convinced?

I mean, they could lose the next ten and they'll still be unclear.
But on the other hand, if they only win ONE, I'm sure they'll use that to validate their claim to "Giants of CONCACAF".
Just amazing.
