Belated: US MNT vs. Mexico

I have a couple thoughts that I need to put out there related to this game before I forget them.


  • Despite our height and and strong keeper in the back, we seem to be really shaky on crosses. In general, I feel us stuttering when a flighted ball is sent in the box. Call it intuition I guess, because I don't have much to back this up with...but if I were Bob Bradley, I would be looking to work on this aspect of our game.
  • Even though that score ended up 2-0, how lucky were we? My overwhelming feeling of hindsight is that we were extremely lucky to not walk out of there with a bloody mess.
  • That Mexican goalie needs to be fined and suspended for trying to spear Johnson while celebrating our goal. Has that happened? And if not, why not? Seriously, that was pathetic. Top it all off with the Mexican team refusing to trade jerseys and I have to say that that would have been one day that I would have been embarrassed of my team no matter well they played.
Ok. I cashed my 2 cents. Now, my brother was at that game and I am disappointed that he has yet to weigh in. So here is me casting the bait and hoping to hear an interesting story from him about what it was like to be there.

Mexico looked like the better team, but what a bunch of sore loosers. It is one thing to play hard, and tackle hard, etc. Bottom line is goals in the net. Why can't Landon play every game like it's against Mexico?
