Should be a good game. I hear they sold like 70,000 tickets, so it should just about be a sellout. It will air on ESPN2 tonight at 8:00. It's going to be played here in Houston so there should actually be more Mexico fans. :(

    hopefully we are now talking about a real fucking sport and not some shitty padded-up helmet sport?

    football where the foot is actually used!?!?

    thats what i'm talking about :D


    go Mexico... 35000 travelling fans and only 11456 actually go back home ;)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Yes yes. Real football. Our biggest rivals. Who are consistently ranked higher than us in the FIFA ratings yet we consistently beat them. Except for games in Mexico.

    they do better than the US against bigger teams hence the ranking.. i mean the US have only to beat Easter Island for World Cup qualification ;)


    the US has a very strong team nowadays dont they? and if i remember rightly they beat England back in 1993... any team that beats England is alright by me :);)

    I wouldn't say the US team is very strong at this time. They're trying to find a good starting rotation. We got full of ourselves after the strong showing in the 2002 world cup and were flat out embarrased in the last one. Although I will say we played the Italians as good as anyone did. You're right, though CONCACAAF qualifying is a joke. Mexico is the only great team in our division. Costa Rica is decent but inconsistent. The others are at best mediocre.

    Awesome. Thanks for the heads up.

    I had an evening planned of watching "Arrested Development" DVD's, but I think those can wait another day or so.

    soccer can be entertaining at times...like when a player falls down trying to get a yellow card drawn on his opponent, when in reality it looks like he's been shot by a sniper in the 43rd row!!! some good acting out there! :D

    FP...what war are we talking about here? And I have Dunk's pics locked away in a safe place, along with yours!!! :p

    in showing my love for my fellow AET compatriots, I watched some of this game last night. Goal disallowed by US would have put them up 3-1. We got hosed on our own turf. Should not have ended 2-2.
    I love to turn you on
