We have Mexico’s number lately, we have beat them 4 out of last 5 or something similar, now 5 of 6. I screwed up my tape so didn’t see the game yet, sounds like we held fast (with some luck) on defense and scored when we got the chance.

To repeat what I said in the other thread:

\*\*Son of a WHORE!!! \*\*

I was _sure_ the game would be broadcast here at 0425 on ESPN, but when I turned it on they were showing Belgium/Brazil. I didn’t bother to check the schedule because I was so _sure_.

I missed the game. ☹

The game was shown live at 2:25 am EST. I think that’s 11:25 pm Pacific, but I am notoriously bad at time zones. They are rebroadcasting today at 1:30 pm, check the ESPN site or local listings for details. They are also rebroadcasting on Tuesday on ESPN Classics. So you should be able to see this match, albeit ex post facto.

Yeah, but I already saw the result when I googled to find out why Belgium/Brazil was on.
