Not sure the average Joe knows squat about sailing. Just remember those 12 meter racing machines are not some rich guy's playthings. They all have
corporate sponsors. As for Cribs and other shows about multi-million dollar houses and yachts, I don't seek them out or spend too much time
on them. But, sometimes while channel surfing, I might linger awhile just to see how the other 1% lives. My emotions vary. Sometimes it's just
simple interest, especially if it shows imagination, innovation, good design or beautiful scenery, sometimes a twinge of envy, but often the mood
degrades into revulsion at wretched excess and thoughts of the French Revolution and the excellent, practical and highly useful invention of the
guillotine.
But back to the subject at hand, Univision at 5:30 pm, Mexico/Brazil, Same time tomorrow, USA/Argentina.

Ironically, that's what they end up as. Kinda like retired racehorses.

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.........

Can't believe he missed that last shot. A huge win for Mexico. Too cool.

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.

Can't compare club football with international. The premier clubs in the world, wether from Europe or South America will make hash of international
teams. The latter always have problems working as a team, whereas the former are playing together for a long season and maybe the whole team's
individual players may not be as skilled, the team spirit will prevail.

Well, we're screwed. Not exactly a "Hallmark moment", what happens when you DON'T care enough to send your very best Why exactly did we send the "B"
team to Venezuela? Was it because it was Venezuela and we don't like Chavez? Irregardless, we're done for the Copa America. Thursday's match
against Columbia hardly matters. We are not going to the quarter-finals.
On the upside, my divided loyalties are no longer a problem.
Viva Mexico!!!!

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.

How can we win anything with eleven one-legged players who are in an environment which treats all of the players like George Bush?

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.
