With all of the Katrina, New Orleans and incompetent Louisiana leadership junk, everyone is missing the really important news. The Mexican coach said his grandmother could beat the U.S. ... apparently she failed to show up and play.

Does this mean we beat them twice or is this a repeat article?

Soccer is not something the USA needs to be good at.

Ha ha ha. That's a good one...no, we beat them at soccer and clinched a berth in the playoffs. If you knew how radical they are about soccer, you would know how sweet it is.

Soccer is not something the USA needs to be good at. The U.S. needs to be good at WHATEVER they decide to do or in whatever event they compete.

Don't know if a repeat article. Don't know about a "listless" first half. I watched it and thought both teams well matched. The first half was back and forth as the teams wore each other down (imao). The two goals in the second half showed what the US team is made of. Mexico worked very hard to shut down our most well known player (Donovan) and we still found several other guys with the what it takes to score. One of the folks I watched the game with is a semi-pro soccer player. He noted how physical and agressive the play was. Lots of hard knocks. "Welcome to Columbus" sort of stuff.

He noted how physical and agressive the play was. I thought Beadsley out played the defense on his wing all night, for that and his goal (which was very well made I might add) he was fouled out of the game for a while. Nice guys, but the ref might have taken better control.

"Welcome to Columbus" sort of stuff. Perhaps a little "Neo-Alamo style soccer"?

I would not be surprised to find that the gringos took a moment to remind the Mexican players about that bit of history - como se dice? Recuerde el Alamo!

Does this mean we beat them twice or is this a repeat article? We lost to them in March at a game played in Mexico City (Our fans were pelted with bags of urine and chants of Osama-Bin-Laden).
Last night was payback - most exciting Pro USA sports event I have ever attended.

Take that, Mexican trash talkers!
Their fans were the creeps who shouted out "Osama, Osama" at our team a few years ago.

We have a soccer team?
They must be deported at once. We will not permit that Euro-sport on our soil!
