USA v Mexico

[speedracer]

At least the US won't be playing at "home" in front of 80,000 Mexico fans.

I'm not a big soccer guy, but I wasn't very encouraged by the way the US played the other night. They played like crap and were lucky to move on. I don't know if they can go on any further. I hope they can, they just need to play better, especially at the beginning of the game.

i can understand how you feel. my mother just got back from queretaro and she said that ppl are really excited! she said that team coverage is almost 24/7, stuff like what the players have eaten, will eat, interviews w/their families and things of that sort.

i have always thought, it must be fun to be in a country that goes all out for futbol, the world cup atmosphere must be amazing, esp if the team is doing well. don't get me wrong we get excited in the US too, but on a smaller scale. *maybe someday* we will catch futbol fever too!

best of luck to both teams! may the better team on the field tonight win!

Speaking about the 24/7 coverage, I saw our players singing karaeoke the other night, and guess what they were singing???
With or without you!!

I heard that Spain broadcast even the trainings live, with commentators and all...

Will be a hard game, Mexico and USA play a lot of games in between, friendlies and in competition, we know each other too well, hope we keep our current level.
Vamos Mexico!

[Fabiana Hewson]

[christiana]

I'm sorry raf...

 

[kobayashi]

sorry folks had to merge some threads

 

[rafmed]

And O'Brien punches the ball like a great aussie rules fullback!

I wondered where that style came from

 

[sparkys girl]

sorry folks had to merge some threads

that explains it, i thought it was the lack of sleep from watching the game in the middle of the night.

They wouldn't have been able to put the penalty kick by Brad Friedel. The man is invincible.

 

[ghetofabu]

I love going for the underdog and being all surprised and happy.

VIVA AMERICA!!!

---->pulls Raffies ear. Sorry hon.

 

[The Wild Honey]

BRAVO USA!!!!!!!!!

I remember a few years back when mexico won, violence ensued on the streets in surrounding neighborhoods.
This time, I had to endure all the anti-USA talk from all the mexicans that live here, and though I have nothing against mexico or their players at all, I'm still relieved and ecstatic to see the Americans win.

 

[The Wild Honey]

Great pic Gheto!

 

[sparkys girl]

puppy power!! landon donovan after he scored a great header!

 

[sparkys girl]

USA!USA!USA!USA!

 

[madonna's child]

U S A

 

[SweetOnU2]

MEXICO! *sigh*

But USA won and I was happy for them! I mean USA and Mex are my teams! It's sad to see Mex go though! But I'm happy and excited for the next game! GO USA!!!

 

[zonelistener]

Raf - who are you supporting now? USA, Brazil, Korea?

Just wondering....

 

[rafmed]

As always Germany, although this time Brazil also has my support.

 

[bullet the blue sky]

So in summary, anyone but England?
