what a douchebag. that's ridiculous. reminds me of oswaldo sanchez trying to take out a US player about 5 seconds AFTER he allowed a goal a few years back.

you're right. why even punish him at all. everyone of us who've ever seen someone skate by on athletic ability alone, only to crash and burn when they hit the real world has had a pretty good glimpse of what MIGHT happen here if he gets only a slap on the wrist here. the last thing this kid needs is reinforcement to the idea that he's above the rules because he can play ball.

i just hope for his sake that he learns something from the experience, as he won't from the punishment. if not, i hope that his next offense is of a similar nature rather than something worse. kids will be kids, and if he learns nothing from this and goes on to do something stupid later on that ruins his playing career, the system is every bit as much to blame as willie himself.

I usually hate Frankie, but last night he earned his keep. i agree with you about landycakes, and dempsey was kind of invisible as well. Beasley looked rusty, but he created a lot with his speed, which is why we have him on the field.

Lamar didn't lose tonight!

The US deserved this one. they played really well, and i felt like they controlled the majority of the game. The stars of the game in my eyes are Bradley, Howard, and Hejduk.

2-0, US wins! What a result for the States!

GOAL! Bradley From 25 out in stoppage time! what a crack! Sanchez probably should have saved it, but it was a nasty shot. US leads 2-0!

3 minutes of stoppage time added.

Ching hasn't done much for me tonight, but he never really has. Jozy is about to come in (finally)

Mexico's first corner of the game comes in the 79th.

DING DING DING

still up 1-0, 74th minute. the ball is staying mexico's end, and they're playing for the counter attack.

that really is a shame... i hope he gets back to normal quickly.

howard visibly limping a few minutes after the challenge by marquez.

USA gets two HUGE breaks in the 65th minute. first mexico misses a tap in from 6 inches out, and then gets a red card on their captain marquez on a red card for a studs-up challenge on tim howard.

62 minutes in, still 1-0 US leads. Shockingly there have been no yellow cards in this game.

doubtful.

BINGO.

Still 1-0 in the 52nd. I really like Kliestjan in the midfield.

USA narrowly misses another in the 44th.

Great corner kick, donovan heads it back across, Onyewu nice header, great save by Sanchez, but Bradley is there to hammer it home from about 3 feet.

GOAL! Michael Bradley in the 43rd!

they beat 14-8 Okie-lite by 25 after turning it off late. who wouldn't be happy about that result, especially after struggling so much in the past two weeks.
