USA vs Mexico

Beasley and Edu off dude...it's so obvious wake up

Won't be long now at this rate

Well at least if it ends 0-0, I won't lose the bet

should be a penalty, USA get lucky

Definite penalty, not sure what the referee is smoking. Rare call in the US's favor on the international stage.

Clear pen...not sure how the officials got that one wrong

Moratti

The ref

Brek Shea coming on

Omar Bravo on........that just rolled back the years

RedO, Marc Pelosi is good enough to start for this hoofball team. I'm not impressed.

OOOOOOOH MY GAAAWD....close one

Offered pretty much nothing offensively tbh

Not the match to judge the US on, but then I figure you already knew that.

Our second point EVER in Mexico in WC Qualifiers

Offensively dreadful but at least we got a point

Well that was a dismal but effective display from the US. Mexico definitely had one clear penalty denied and were unlucky with the chances they missed but a point is a point...

The US were the better team tactically all night long forcing Mexico off their game, and disrupting them in the final third.

Even better, we finally got a call from a CONCACAF official on a clear penalty. I hope they can give retro-active cards for ChicaDorito's dive in the first half.

So happy for the team and the point. Should of walked out of there with 3 points, but a draw is a win in my book.

Omar Gonzalez man of the match. Dude locked down the back.

Best pre-500th post gift ever

It's a shame that rivarly only matters for one side, USA happy with a tie and offer no offense whatso ever, boring game horrible ref.
0 shots on target for USA??

Except when the matches are in the US the story is different thus playing out the other half of the rivalry. It's a shame people are too blinded by bias to recognise the entire situation.

doesn't matter which stadium you play in, everywhere in US the stadium will be fully green so idk how that would matter lol

I'm happy for the point but the performance was godawful.

Absolutely nothing going forward offensively and yeah we got a cleansheet but that was both due to Mexico's woeful finishing, a gift from the ref, and their own bad performance. We weren't even good defensively, although the middle two were decent.

Don't get me wrong I am ecstatic for a point in Mexico especially given how we typically fare in Mexico, but I'm hoping for better performances and given the circumstances in this game, I'm positive this wasn't a game to look at for an indication of future performances. At least I hope so.

Beasley should never play LB again and I still am not sure how after all these years he continues to get into this national team. I've never once been impressed with him. That's even after my own bias because he comes from the town my ma grew up in...

Ref was terrible.

Oh, I liked Zusi too. He played well and played his heart out. Full props.

Pretty sad match in all honesty by 2 scared sides.

Mexico was absolutely terrified of what Dempsey MIGHT do, hence they had a midfielder(salcido) who was practically useless the entire match seeing as US didnt attack. Chepo waited too long to make his changes.

US didnt even try to attack a keeper who looks like he shat himself whenever the ball came anywhere near him. Could have got the 3 points and dented the Mexican arrogance for at least a generation.

0% Chance Chepo goes any further than the confederations cup this summer as manager.

19 shots to 1. good lord.

Chicharito always chokes against the U.S.

Only 3 on target though. That's like 15% accuracy.

Mexico unlucky to win.. not shocked.. as the game wore on.. I was thinking to myself "Jamaica game all over again" Mexico didn't know what to do.. disorganized in the attack.. and couldn't fully break down the US due to their organized back line wall.

idk how I feel about this.. Mexico will clearly need points on road now.. their next games are against Jamaica in Di Office, Panama in El Rommell Fernandez, y Los Ticos en El Azteca. Mexico hasn't had the best of times in Caribbean soil, losing in Kingston last cycle 1-0 to a Ricardo Fuller goal, now Jamaica is a bit better and poised to make their home games count after giving up a point to Los Canaleros, while playing in Panama is dreadful as I saw today, they have a wet fast pitch which looked poorly kept with mud blotches all over plus Panama is no push-over, and haven't loss yet in The Hex. Panama has greatly improved and will give Mexico similar head-aches Honduras gave them in San Pedro Sula. Costa Rica the last team to beat Mexico in Azteca in World Cup Qualifying snatched a point in Panama, and don't look bad what so ever. Mexico dropping point at home, can it be that Los Ticos snatch points again in Mexico City?? time will tell, but their summer schedule is brutal.

They'll have 3 game in a time span of like.. a week before they head off to Brazil to play the Confederations Cup.. Things are just heating up.
