I'm still amped!
Somewhat of an ugly game, but anytime we beat Mexico I'm a happy guy.
I think my man crush on tim howard just multiplied.
Bradley - sure Sanchez should have stopped that 2nd goal, but finishes are finishes. A guy near me kept yelling "he's our michael ballack!"
Heyduk - no one on the US team plays with more heart.
And check it: mexico's assistant coach slapped him after the game:

Real classy.
Quite the different style from Mexico. They sat back, tried to compact the midfield and defensive box, and rarely attacked. The US seemed to have much more possession time then in past matches vs. el tri. And for once we seemed to own the midfield. This time it was mexico playing long balls forward.
As if the mexican media weren't all over Sven to begin with, I have to believe he'll be gone soon.
US still needs to learn movement away from the ball. I say it every match.
Enjoy the next match from the stands Marquez.
