Hah! This is like playing poker with mirrored sunglasses. The truth is, I freakin forgot where the account stood but I knew I could count on your integrity. After Sunday, you will owe me 3!

I do not know Oso's real name, I do not know were he lives, I do not have an email or phone contact for him and I certainly have no idea as to how freaking hot it gets there in the summer

OK, you're on. That's two "serious" wagers so far, made and accepted: You and Dave, 1 liter ea. Cazadores on the Tri vs. me for same on USA.

Anyone else who wishes to make a real bet (with me or anyone else on the board), please clarify your intentions before 11am PST (I wanna watch the pre-game hype). Otherwise, all other extraneous comments will be considered "soplando humo por el culo."

MOMENTO!

Y yo que?
Atentamente,

El gran hijo de kwaHOOTamock

OK maguey, se supone que con esto quieres decir que apuestas un litro de Cazadores a que gana Mexico.

Hecho.


Come on Donovan, you screw up and I'm out a C-note!

GO DONOVAN!

I heard the border patrol is on the way with 900 buses.

GOOOOOOOOOOOL

Could not log back in for a few hours, seriously cutting into my gloat time. But what a great game! Better than any I've seen in awhile. Both sides played well and fought hard, charging out of the gate with no let up all the way through. Never a dull moment. Mexico and USA own the Gold Cup. Only once has another country, Canada, won. Otherwise it was Mexico or USA every time.

Dave and Ferna know where I live. Kate, unless you plan to visit AZ in the near future, it will probably have to wait until I visit La Paz. I seem to recall a certain Italian restaranteur there also owes me one...

GREAT GAME!

Strange? You could watch it on Univision for free in spanish or pay to see an inferior version on Fox sports in english.

I could not log on, I was bussy getting quotes for a semi truck that I will need to deliver all these Cazadores bottles.
México, jugaron como nunca y perdieron como siempre

Maybe you should by stock in the company to mitigate your losses.

Wife still not talking to me, but it is worth it.

Great game and thanks for the heads up OSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At one point I almost fell out of my chair when the announcer said,"its Donovan vs. Mexcio".

and were those guys having a ball with CHING, when he got close once I swear I heard the guy say Chingas.

Don know, van a meter gol. CHING ado.
Maybe I should just stop betting

What was I thinking?

No confundes la magnesia con el gimnasio. "America's Cup"is the yachting contest named after the boat of the same name. Copa America is the soccer tournament for the western hemisphere.

Last comment agreed, two Hugos in Venezooela at the moment, both pendejos.

In general the Mexican players are individually much more skillful then their US counterparts, but somehow ,always try too hard to beat them. They are performing up to their ability in this game. However there's a half to go, so hang on to your hat.

it's so hard to watch how Mexican players kick a worm while being defended and belly flop whilst holding their ankle. 10 seconds later they are running full out! why do they get away with it?

Premier League is so much better on the eyes.........

Ouch! Well, la gorda hasn't sung yet, but losing 4-1 to the Che's is not a great start. I may end up betting on the Tri myself.

I MAY have spoken too soon (but I don't think so). Some sports pundits are saying we are ALMOST eliminated. I'd change that to ALL BUT. Theoretically, if we whip the snot out of Columbia on Thursday AND certain other matches work to our advantage, we could still make quarterfinals by the skin of our teeth.

True, Columbia is not what it once was with Pibe Balderrama and Loco Higuita, but Argentina isn't either and they still kicked our butt but good. Then we get the crap beat out of us by frikkin PARAGUAY?

I wonder if any other country sent their sukass second string? What a strategy!

Cinderella story? Perseverance? Through adversity to the stars? I wouldn't bet a shot of Cabo Wabo on it.

Their saving themselves for the other side of the pond.

I always think that the only reason FIFA keeps the US up in the world ranking is to give the game a boost here. But the national team really is not up to snuff in the international market, a few players excepted. In reality there are probably 50 teams that they cannot beat, unless lucky, which of course is a major part of the game.

Mexico-Chile 0-0, boooring. No change, already qualified El Tri advances. USA in need of a miracle today. Keller is a very good goalie, but he can't carry the whole thing by himself.

Adios Venezuela

Tri= Triunfo! Senior and Junior divisions both! Mexico 2, New Zealand 1 in the Under-20 World Cup. Two victories in one day! I haven't wanted to go back to the D.F. for a long time, but this would be a great time to be at the "Angel" on Reforma.

No se pudo.

Copa America now between Brazil and Argentina.

Argentina deservedly so, however the 3-nil score was very flattering for them. Uruguay should have been the other finalist being the better team in their match against Brazil. But such is soccer. like lots of other unfairness in our world.

The Uruguayan red card kind of ruined the game. Referees are often too fast issuing one and thus influencing the game severely. I thought that was the case here, and the outcome would surely have been different if he would have gotten a yellow with a severe warning.
On this afternoon's game, it surely would be more fun with a Brazilian A-team, with, amongst others, Ronaldinho, Kaka and Carlos in the line up. Still, can't underestimate Brazil. They have the most excellent players in the world,with a very large soccerplaying population to choose from.
Always been amazed at small population countries, like The Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and The Chech republic among them, are able to stay in FIFA's top 10 ranking.
May have something to do with being Dutch.

Say What

Better stay away from Vegas.

WTF?

Does anyone know anything about what I just caught the tail end of on Fox Sports en español? It was called Mexico-Argentina El Reto Final Nissan, in Houston. It was tied 1-1, went into penalty shots to break the tie but apparently didn't!, as it ended with the trophy being held by both captains??? It appeared to be some kind of a "friendly" and in direct contrast to the Under 20 World Cup, several of the players were definitely "mature", as in gray or balding. Afterwards a couple of commentators came on commenting on various games. I don't know where they were from, but I couldn't understand a frikkin word the one who looked like Donald Trump was saying. He sounded like he either had a mouth full of oatmeal or was drunk on his butt.
