Anyone who thinks soccer is boring, missed a great match today. It's always great to beat Mexico at their game.
Link to other thread, I didn’t know I had the older one: http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3314068/posts
Jamaica has to beat Meh-Hee-Co and the referees. El Chapo has paid off the refs for Mexico, I’m convinced of it.
US playing like garbage again, down 1-0.
Penalties, heck, Panama already got robbed and losing on pens would be getting the bad end again, okay, knotted up 1-1, I have a feeling the USA will come out on top here.
Panama did get it, well, I think Panama was hard done and did the USA really need this to make the tournament worthwhile?? If the USA can not finish 1st or 2nd, I don’t know if we need to really shoot for #3, bronze but that’s just my opinion.
Where were our Germaericans? For a team that went OT and could have drawn up Belgium in the WC; a fairly poor outing.
But we’ve got Klinsmann and maybe shouldn’t forget what he’s done, I think our players were weak.
I have defended Klinsi up to this point, no more.
That was absolute garbage out there. And nothing has been accomplished since the World Cup, a whole year down the drain.
Too bad, Mexico largely thrashed them, 90th minute, 3-1. I thought Jamaica had a good chance here, doesn’t speak well for the USA, I think, not sure, I think Mexico had a pretty bad slump in recent years so we might be in a downward period like virtually every National team does at one time or another.
Save Germany, even Brazil, as we have seen, had a very bad time in some recent years, I never thought they’d be knocked off their perch.
Mexico attacked in waves? What’s this? They must have had the ball about 65% of the time.
Blast it; I don’t necessarily hate Mexico in the World Cup all the time but I didn’t want them to win this.
Congrats Jamaica and Mexico, as I was saying, I only saw the 2nd half mainly but Mexico was attacking all the time and Mexico does of course, have some very good players.
