^ Those are good, too. I included one from more than 10 years ago, too, since you like "the past." You want more? I have.

LOL @ DaDakota bringing up "punishing everyone except Mexico"... :grin:

 

It is true though, the USA and Mexico are the class of Concacaf, neither should be struggling with some of these lessor teams.

Why isn't Brek Shea on the roster?

 

There are a lot of great players not on the roster, Shea, Davies, Holden, Feilhaber - lots more to choose from when everyone is healthy.

El Salvador played bad too, they were not better than Mexico, but I agree that Mexico didnt play well.
and the ref was awful, SLV kicked Guardado, Dos Santos and everybody but they only got like 1 or 2 yellow cards.

 

This is going to be good.

US-Mexico at Estadio Azteca
August 15, 2012

Good for who? US is going to get creamed. On the pitch on from the stands... literally.

 

They might lose, but I think they'll show up.

 

It's a rivalry. It's always good.

 

It's limited to MLS and Mexican league players, so new players are gonna get a taste of Azteca.

 

Really? That might be a little interesting.

 

Well it's a non-fifa date. People are saying euro teams won't release players mid preseason for this game.

 

Just kidding, after more reading I find out people don't know what they're talking about and it is a fifa date.


So I have no idea who will be playing.

 

Aren't we going to play there a couple months later in WCQ? It may be worth dragging those players there. Azteca is always tough, the more experience the better.

You're probably right though. From what I hear, Mexico's team will be mainly domestic players.

 

I can't wait to see who Jurgen brings in for the camp in August....I wonder if Shea will be back, and if Holden will be healthy etc..etc..etc..

Word is Bruin will be called up as well from the Dynamo.

 

this game is stupid and cheapens the rivalry. the rivarly should only be for games that matter not friendlies.
