Also if the US does better than Mexico, that is also success for the US. Mexico still may not make it out of their group.

And yet, FIFA will still find some way to change the rules for the 2010 World Cup to ensure that Mexico gets a seeded position instead of the US.

Statistically, the match has evened out quite a bit as Togo presses for a badly-needed goal -- they must get at least a draw to stay alive, so no time to play defensive for them.

I don't like it either.

But Mexico had a very good Confederations Cup in 2005. FIFA is so desperate to get anybody to pay attention to the Confederations Cup; that they gave Mexico a Seed because they did well.

We won the Gold Cup in 2005; now we have to do well in the next Confederations Cup (if there is one)
