Open Thread: USA vs Mexico
Not expecting it, but a point (or more) would be just lovely.
Odd formation and lineup out there for this game. Not what I was expecting at all.
How significant is this to qualifying for the WC?
because even with a loss, we control own destiny with a home match against Panama which will probably decide 3rd place. But getting the point gave us more security and keeps Mexico a bit more engaged. Just gotta take care of business now. A collapse is the only way we'd not make it.
The US may not make it out of this match alive if these first few minutes have shown anything. Mexico should already be down a man but havent even seen a yellow.
he made a weak stab with his left which gave up ground and a chance to make a play on a shot. He got dribbled hard. Really couldn't have played it much worse, actually.
But yes, someone else still could/should have stepped up. Cameron and Acosta both went with the guy towards the corner and needed to communicate who had him so the other could step in front of Vela. As CB that falls to Cameron, so half blame or more on him.
He seems too big for a keeper. Height is good but Guzan is thick and lacks the reflexes/agility to quickly react to the ball.
lol Guzan.
a good job of putting up a wall against the Mexicans.
They've been known to throw piss and vomit at opposing fans. One of my favorite moments

I like tacos
I mean to be fair, being the head official in Azteca must be intimidating as hell. He might've gotten killed if he'd sent off someone on Mexico within 5 minutes.
....starting with your ability to post for a little while.
I get the feeling one of these will eventually go in for Mexico.
Yeah, the power was out here, so I couldn't see how Arriola was doing - but I'm not at all sure I like that Nagbe substitution.
