    Prob not the best idea to schedule a game in Denver in March :fp:

    maybe they did so they would have a chance!

    The U.S. Soccer Federation said they scheduled the game in Denver to help get the players better acclimated to the altitude in Mexico City.

    I'm not feeling good about this bunch but Mexico doesn't look in top form right now either.

    As do I, but I'm trying to be realistic. Getting 1 point in a qualifier at Azteca would be awesome.

    Decent first half, scoreless, I think it's time to sub for Beasley so he doesn't get a second yellow and hurt them. We'll see what Juergen does with the 2nd half lineup.

    Defense was great. Guzan with some huge saves as well. How awesome was Omar Gonzalez last night? That guy was a beast back there.

    Agreed. Could have used some of that defense in the last World Cup. That is a big point. Besler was awesome in only second cap. Bradley did a great job controlling the ball in front of the defense as well. Altidor just continues to disappoint, not sure what the deal is with him. Thought he might break out after a good performance in Denver but maybe Azteca is just too tough.

    When is the next game?

    Altidore didn't do much, but his chances were limited. As awesome as it is to get a point at Azteca, it still sucks that we are on defense the majority of the game. Mexico is just so much better at ball control and those short passes.

    Next qualifiers are in June at Jamaica and then at home for Panama and Honduras. There are a couple friendly matches before those 3 qualifiers. Hopefully the squad will be much healthier come June.

    Yeah, our defense was outstanding. Gonzalez and Besler played lights out. Once Beasley calmed down he played solid also. For once we had a few calls go our way. :)

    Yeah, they really got away with one, should have been a pk even though he got the ball first he totally took him out form behind.

    Thanks, hopefully Donovan will come back as well.

    he took a break for a few months, just getting back in shape and not in the best form yet. at least that is what Klinsmann is saying

    He will not be playing in the upcoming qualifiers. :fp: They really need him out there.
