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.
Tell the captain 'This boats not safe And we're drowning.'

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.

What's the deal with Donovan? He gonna play next year or what. Not on the camp squad
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.
Klinsmann obviously has it out for Donovan. I know he didn't like that Donovan took that break for a few months, but it doesn't mean you don't field your best squad. It's WC qualifying...no fucking around.

Its just a friendly. I thought Donovan said he wasn't ready yet?

2 friendly matches in the next week, then 3 qualifiers. Donovan won't be on the roster for any of them. Klinsmann is the one who says Donovan isn't ready. He would be there if Klinsmann had invited him to camp.

Really, he doesnt want the best player in the country on the team? Maybe Klinsmann should go?

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.

:fp:
US defense is still terrible. They have clearly declined in the last 8 years in my opinion. They seem to have no depth.
they are definately going to need to step it up a notch. Next up is Germany on Sunday. :fp:
