Is this the same USA team that didn't qualify for the Olympics? Playing the gold medal Mexican team? Can we send our women instead?

What network?

Going to be ugly tonight. Several of the US best players are in Europe and not with the US team tonight.

Sorry Bob, but if you want to watch something that matches the excitement of watching paint dry, you'll have to turn on the golf channel tonight. The undermanned US team got their first victory every in Mexico last night!

USA!USA! Can't say the US deserved the win, but we'll take it! Howard made some ridiculous saves last night.

Man, this game got me even more pumped for the EPL starting this weekend.

Gotta give credit to the USMNT for withstanding the Mexico onslaught and Brek Shea in particular for being aggressive in setting up the score. Howard is a beast. Still, that could've easily been 2-1 Mexico had Chicharito been on target.

I think the futbol v. football debate is tired and old. Two different sports that require different skill sets. To each his own. Personally, I enjoy both.

Amazing that a make shift back line (Edu at CB c'mon) was able to keep a clean sheet (with much credit to Howard). Bodes well for qualifiers.

Why dont they just employ actors or stuntmen so they can at least make the "penalties" believable?

I think the futbol v. football debate is tired and old. Two different sports - one that requires actual skill, speed, agility, talent, and teamwork, with the other requiring fat guys to trash talk and slap each other's butts after every play, and prance around like this is their first time ever making a tackle, catch, sack, touchdown, etc. after each play. To each his own. Personally, I enjoy both.


I agree with your sentiments wholeheartedly! laugh

I agree, and obviously football is the far superior sport that allows fat asses like me to take six hour blocks of time on Sundays to stuff my piehole with cheesy poofs and ham sandwiches

football is awesome!
