The Coach’s Son, Michael Bradley scores twice and the US beats Mexico 2-0 again. It’s _always_ 2-0. Why is it always 2-0? I don’t care, I just love it when the US beats El Tri.😃 ---

Aw, crap, I actually didn’t realize I did that (I was doing two things at once). My apologies. Probably too late to worry about it now, but any Mod feel free to change it. ---

Not only the score in the subject line, we have a thread shitter too. But it’s always nice to beat Mexico (2-0). ---

Frankly, had I not seen this thread before I watched the game, I would have assumed it was a prediction. It IS always _dos a cero_. Toward the end of the game I was wondering HOW we were going to score the last goal, not IF. It’s got to kill the Mexicans, and it’s possibly going to get SGE fired. I took my son out to MacDinton’s to watch the game, there were about 30-40 fans there watching, which makes it more fun. Not as fun as being in Columbus, but still a joy. ---

The owning is not complete until we achieve victory in Azteca. Otherwise it’s just holding serve. ---

Resurrecting this thread to share this link. [Hejduk incident](http://voices.washingtonpost.com/soccerinsider/2009/02/the_hejduk_incident.html). (video also) > [@](#): > > At the conclusion of the USA’s 2-0 victory over Mexico on Wednesday night in the Columbus wind tunnel, Frankie Hejduk was heading toward the locker room when a Mexican team staff member slapped him in the face. Univision identified the assailant as assistant coach Paco Ramirez. I’m sure that slapping players crosses a line of behavior that shouldn’t be allowed in professional sports. Even if it was a misunderstanding. ---

Shit. Maybe I ought to re-watch it (I did manage to find it re-run in the middle of the night, so I did get to DVR it afterall). I hadn’t heard about this incident. Did Hejduk do or say anything about it after the fact? ---
