No score at halftime.
Pretty poor match, especially when I watched Barcelona yesterday. Mexico, with it's population and soccer being it's national sport, should be in the
top 10 in the world and be able to beat the USA hands down. Somehow they always have problems in tournaments and the national team doesn't reflect
their league teams. Wonder why ?
Spelling,grrr...

In all fairness, the US and I think Mexico are playing their "B/C" teams. It's hard to get too excited about this year's Gold Cup.

I'd be watching it at Sharky's but, I've learned from experience that being in a Mexican bar during a US/MEX matchup is not fun. These folks take it
a lot more seriously than I do.
Anyway, Mexico just scored on a bogus penalty kick called by some half blind Biafrin referee. The game is fixed.

They did come to life and are playing a better second half. Mexico that is.
4-0 in favor of Mexico as of this moment.
And that's a massacre in football speak.

Good playng Mexico!
What really cracked me up prior to watching the game on Mex TV was how they played the 10 greatest upsets Mexico played against the US and all them
was at least more than 30 years ago except for JC Chavez beating some American 15 years ago in a boxing match and of course they had to show Raul
Ramirez beating Jimmy Conners, what 30 years ago? I play golf with Raul and he never speaks of it. It was his only highlight of his playing years.....
Your right Bajaboy----- They will play this like it was the Gold Cup win of the century but in actuality there is no way they can get close to the
qualifying round of the big one.
Can't watch anymore..........

Has the US ever played in a stadium where they were the crowd favorite? Just once?

US didnīt play with its A team, but so didnīt Mexico. What surprised me is that Mexicoīs coach seems to have studied the US brilliantly, usually
Mexico attacks and attacks and the US waits and counters. This time Mexico waited, and waited, and Mexico countered. The US was at a complete loss as
to what to do with a Mexican team playing in the same style they did. Its too early to tell, but the US is very good at counter attack and defence.
But i have noticed that when other teams do the exact same, they simply canīt play because they donīt have the room to counter.
The world cup qualifier is going to be very interesting.

I thought the Gold Cup was more prestigous than to not make a best effort. Sounds like everything is a tune-up for the World Cup.
Anyway, the US stunk up the joint today.

Gold Cup is ok, but only a warmup for the big one. The World Cup.

The US played their A- team at the Confederations Cup a month ago where they beat Spain and came a few minutes shy of beating Brazil for the
championship. I'm not saying that the US is at the same caliber of play as those two teams on a consistent basis but they are far better than Mexico
on most days. Today might as well been the Columbus Crew against the Mexican National team.

I still don't understand why a team, especially in a Gold Cup final, wouldn't field it's best team. It cheats the team and the spectators.

We had the B, no, C team. Still, embarrassing. We had only one possible starter from the U.S. team, Brian Ching. Mexico had five/six. It is the
reality of sports in this era. Money. Many players have commitments to European clubs, even MLS. At the same time this game was being played, Landon
Donovan was watching it from a hotel room. Oguchi Onyewu was playing for A.C. Milan (In the United States), cause he just got signed......

The entire US organization should be drowning in shame. National team? More like national embarrassment.
Today, in this ugly world, we have an "A Team" giving it their all in grimey, senseless combat, getting their asses shot off as representitives of
the USA. We should expect no less from these over-payed babies and their keepers. If this sports organization is going to represent me and all of
the USA, I want their best effort. Agencies that are in place to guard the integrity of horse racing should have a look at this mess. It's not the
US team but, more like the Wall Street team. Shame on them all.
