I'm surprised, but not too surprised considering it was very much a B - C U.S. team out there. But, I did say the U.S. would "wipe the floor with" Mexico, so I shall eat my words...

Congratulations Mexico! 5 - 0 That's more like it!

I congratulated you guys on the "Mexico will win this sh!t thread".
Now, there is no need to go all "after the fact" with the gringos (regardless of what they said).
Show some class as you enjoy this victory.

The Mex Costa Rica game was the best game in Copa de Oro. The US MEX game was great if your mexican but as a soccer game MEX CR was a better display.

Today's Mexico US game was a joke. All it did was announce that Mexico is back.

It did more than that. It shows that Mexico should base their teams on players from Pumas and club america along with the abroad ACTIVE players.

You are delusional. Every Mexican has recognized it was a toss up. You guys played just as "dirty". In some aspects Costa Rica was technically superior in others Mexico was technically superior. Succintly... the Tico players often created their own space and shot on goal with danger... whereas the Mexican players seem to need to take a shooting clinic. OTOH... Costa Rica had no response to the creative talent of Gio Dos Santos & Barrera. Also... I. Castro & Juarez completely owned the CR players in their patch of the field.

Mexico at 75% can give an inspired Costa Rica a hard battle... in the next month Costa Rica (as you always do) will lose confidence from the inability (once again) to win the close matches & get to Gold Cup finals etc.,... Mexico coming off the Gold Cup championship & beating the Spazzos in Azteca will be at 85% or so and will bring the Ticos crashing back to reality at Saprissa.

The Hexagonal is going to get very interesting because at that point Mexico will have 12pts... and most Costa Rica will have is 15pts versus 14pts for the Spazzos. Both of those teams will lock up a little in the last 3 matches and Mexico is going to end up on top of the Hexagonal standings.

Mexidamus has spoken.

One down, two to go. And yes... Mexico vs. Costa Rica was the REAL final.

But, respect to the fans that have been giving credit where it is due on both sides of the game. I expect a U.S. victory Sunday, but who knows, let the best team win.

I didn't even watch the game, smart-guy. I was too busy watching the new-look Real Madrid in a preseason game.

Let me know how these grapes taste after our meeting in Ricardo Saprissa.

I'm actually lookin' forward to that game.

It's always a good game when we play Costa Rica.

Seeing as how you live in CT, maybe you should come down to Tavern on 7 and we can watch the game together.

Loser pays the tab.

haha, if you guys win in Saprissa, I will personally come back and congratulate you, as long as you win fairly and with some class.
I'm not a sore loser, I'll congratulate any team that beats my team deservedly. Yesterday was very controversial, in my book.

I don't think Mexico's "tactics" was the difference in the game, but more so Costa Rica's lack of finishing. There is no doubt that we were technically superior to Mexico, which surprised me. However, my point is that the Mexican team obviously felt that playing dirty was necessary to beat us, as they did continuously kick/push/grab/step on us, which is pathetic, and also definitely wasn't hurt by biased refereeing.

And, I'm no troll, I'm just telling you what I saw. And now people are talking shit, I'll talk back.

Man, look at a calendar, DOES IT LOOK LIKE MOTHER********ING 2005 TO YOU!? Wash your face and get your mind right. Saprissa is waiting.

I'm still waiting.
