The perfect final has been set up then. Can't bloody wait!
Too bad Mexico couldn't have lost to the minnows. I mean, Mexico is playing bad soccer too, and I love getting victories over Mexico, but with the way we're playing, I don't like our odds.

Thank you for breaking the circle of suck, Bidwill--Stout, December 7 2008.
Bradley played really well last night, probably his best game of the tournament...right up until his stupid tackle and well deserved red card. He still has to mature but the talent is there.
Bornstein was the worst player on the field last night. He gives the ball away constantly. I even watched him give the ball away on a stinking throw in, made me wonder if he forgot what color his own team was wearing. Starting Bornstein at left back over Spector or Simek is the most clear sign of Bob Bradley playing favorites as I have seen. I honestly believe that Bornsteins lack of skill affected the play of Beasley and Bocanegra who had to cover for his mistakes and the times he was out of position. If Bornstein starts at left back against Mexico I'll go nuts.
decent first half...bad goal late...I predict USA 2 MEX 1
Are we watching the same game?
I mean, maybe the problem is that our guys thought this was like golf...the lower your score, the higher your opponent's score, the better you're doing. Oh, either that, or we're a pack of gutless wonders. I mean, seriously, are we TRYING to lose? Gooch is a giant snatch...he's a big, strong guy who plays like a wuss. NONE of our players, not a single one, has come up big. Nobody is creating, aside from having a few chances almost literally fall into our laps. And our defense? Oh, let's not even START on our defense. It's like it isn't there. From the OPENING KICK, we've looked like grade schoolers trying to stop them out there. For instance, on attack once, we lobbed the ball out of danger and it was immediately lobbed back in by Mexico. I laughed, because I've seen similar plays a million times, and they never work. Well, since all of our guys literally stood still and WATCHED the ball fall in the box, it almost netted them a goal. I loved the lineup I saw before the start, but they've choked BIG TIME. Pathetic. Disgusting. We don't deserve to win this game, we're playing with 0 heart, and it looks like we will indeed lose, unless we can turn it around. Ugh. If nothing changes, it will be 2 or 3 to nil, not because Mexico is playing well, but because our defense is that bad, and our midfield and forwards are willy-nilly giving the ball away. Ugh. Prove me wrong, guys. Find some heart at the half.
On a side note, I hope Borgetti is all right. I hate the player, but I hate for anybody to be injured. I laughed when it happened because I thought he just got faked out. I won't complain not to have to face him in the 2nd half (much difference it might make), but I hope he is all right.

so far the US is outplayed and outclassed, I believe its the first time Bradley has had to make adjustments after trailing, now he has to prove just how good a coach he is.
Anyone notice who Gooch was covering for? Our illustrious left back vacated his space, the run went right up that side. I'll give Bornstein credit for a screaming shot he just missed wide but the guy needs a lot of work.
Crazy the amount of Mexico fans here in Chicago. Not just the game either. I heard somewhere that there might me more Mexicanos living here than in Phoenix.

no more bashing Bradely. Without him our midfield looks lost.
