The US didn't even play with all their best players...Dempsey, Altidore, and Bradley didn't play...some of Mexico's best players didnt play either but still it was a nice win for us.
Yeah I watched it as well definitely was a shocker, question for the more experienced soccer fan since I'm just a newer casual fan or even less to the game. To me Beckerman played pretty well, I think I noticed a few mistakes early on but then the whole team was that way and played IMO ultra conservative, I'd guess it was the game plan. But anyway he seemed to play his position and what he was asked very well and was the pass that lead to the pass type of guy, any other opinions?
you guys can talk soccer all you want, but when it comes down to the big time show, the World Cup, neither Mexico or USA have a chance... Brazil rules! The only 5 times champion!!!
Yeah, nice showing in the olympics..

Like I said it before, when it comes down to the big time show, when it really matters, when the best play(regardless of age!) we rule... we have 5 world cups and we're about to get one more in 2014.

Beckerman to me looked like a holding mid-fielder. And when he plays that far back it widens the defense which gave Mexico chances up the middle. Beckerman is just doing his job but I think Jurge needs to use a different setup with him in there.Yeah I watched it as well definitely was a shocker, question for the more experienced soccer fan since I'm just a newer casual fan or even less to the game.

Anybody here ever been to Estadio Azteca? I hate soccer as much as the next true blooded American, but seeing a game there is definitely on my travel want to do list. Looks badass.
