This game was close 10 minutes ago.

For those of you Europeans who haven't seen Mexico as much as we have and are impressed with their pretty football THAT is exibit A why the US is every bit as good if not better than them. Their defense is just as bad as we are only Mexico combines a one-two punch of shoddy defense and crap goalkeeping.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Got to admit though that Dos Santos has elevated his game.

 

[Rook]

What if it's Blanco?

I wouldn't care if Blanco goes in two footed against Macherano and flings himself to the turf, and rolls around on the turf for 2 minutes pretending he was the one who was fouled.

Actually there are times I like Blanco, he was a fun player to watch in MLS and has a bag chock full of crazy tricks he can use when he has all the time in world that MLS defenses are apt to give.

Ian Darke is ready to blow a gasket with all the ref baiting that the Argies are doing and is equally mad that the refs are letting them get away with it. He's about ready to go medieval on the refs.

Kicked off there at HT. Diego in the thick of it. There's gonna be some red cards second half.

I really like Ian Darke. I've never heard any commentators have a go at refs the way he does. It's awesome.

No doubt. For as slapdash as Mexico has been it could have been 2-2 at the half.

Upset of the WC, Lalas actually giving smart commentary today.

No, your not.

You both have weak defences, they pretty much better you in every other area. Mexico are comfortably developing better players, of that I have no doubts, that usually equals a better long term future. USA are the England of the Americas.

He's been the best of ESPN's very good lineup of announcers. I love him. He shows alot of passion in his commentary. Was on World soccer daily the other day and professed his love for Chile. Good man that.

Ha Ha that's what we said yesterday. Funny that.

Great announcer love his interpretation and summary. Best of the best for me. Very complimentary to the US. I just enjoy his enthusiasm announcing the game.

Mexico develops slick passers but there's no one who can play physical, no one who plays well in cold weather and no one who can play between the sticks. We have our share of decent players coming up too. American players are no longer hamstrung by colleges stifling their development.
