I blame the wussys in our midst more than the mexicans.

Soccer is not quite the "wussy" sport you make it out to be. Anyone remember the USA player who had is jaw broken vs. Brazil in the '94 cup? I also witnessed in person a professional (Rochester Rhino) goalie badly mangle his face by diving into a square wooden goal post. I have been personally knocked out a few times and broken an opponent's leg. And if none of that impresses you, try running continuously for two 45 minute periods on a 95 degree day in the sun.

As far as this thread is concerned, the real wussy is the Mexican coach.

Not saying the players are wussy, just the sport. Well conditioned? Absolutly, but so are NBA, NFL, and if they play NHL. Are there injuries? You bet, but even MLB players suffer injuries equal to the ones you name.

Maybe wussy is the wrong word, BORING would be better. Sorry, just don't like to watch a track meet with a ball.
