Adios Venezuela
Columbia 1- USA 0. Progress, I guess. This time we didn't lose by MULTIPLE goals. Interesting little bit of petulance and confusion with the forced
change in Columbian goalie at the last minute. Didn't help. We'll probably be on the plane home tonight. We didn't even bother to put in Keller for
this one.
The Sub-20's youngsters may be worth a look. Mexico is 0-0 with Portugal at the half. We're up against Brazil tomorrow at 4:30 PST. (This is a new
category of the World Cup restricted to players aged 19 years, 6 months, or younger at the start of competition.)
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

Ah youth, so wasted on the young... There is hope for the future. USA 2- Brazil 1 in the Under-20 World Cup, putting us at the top of our group and
on to quarter-finals. Great game, more action than the old farts. Great teamwork, some really nice combinations.
Mexico takes on New Zealand Sunday.
What if USA wins the U-20 as well as the Gold Cup? A hat trick with the America Cup would have been incredible. But it definitely appears that there
was a conscious decision to write that one off.

MEXICO ON FIRE in the America Cup! 3-zip at the half, with a fatal error by the Paraguazo goalie committing an egregious foul in the zone within the
first few minutes of the game. Earning himself a red card expulsion and serving up Mexico's first goal on a silver platter with an easy penalty shot
by Neri Castiilo against the substitute. Then two more well placed goals, another one by Neri.
Did anyone catch why the ref ordered a Paraguayan player off the bench and out of the arena?

LIKE A RENTED MULE! Mexico humiliates Paraguay 6-0. And it couldn't happen to nicer bunch of guys... Fighting dirty all the way, the Paraguazos
richly deserved that a$$-whupping with yet another penalty goal by Cuahtemoc Blanco at the 40, followed by #6 by Omar Bravo. On to the semi-finals!
And in a few minutes the Tri Junior takes on New Zealand.

How did Paraguay get this far anyway? Was their division that weak?

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.

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.

I don't think theres a team in the world that would have beaten the Argentine team that played yesterday against Mexico. It is Argentinas best team in
15 years, and a serious contender for the next World Cup. Brasil doesn't stand a chance against Argentina, my prediction, Argentina 4 Brazil 1.

Tri takes 3rd place, 3-1 over Uruguay in Copa America, Tri Jr. still alive in the under 20 Mundial. USA out in quarter final loss to Austria 1-2
despite valiant defense by goalie Chris Seitz who seemed to stop the ball with his face as often as his hands or other parts, visibly punch-drunk for
a couple minutes there.
Brazil-Argentina later today in the CA final. Che's slightly favored but I'm pulling for the Cariocas just cuz I likes 'em better.

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.

WTF?
Does anyone know anything about what I just caught the tail end of on Fox Sports en espaņol? 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.
