Elimination round, chance to move to the quarterfinals. This isn’t like '94, we (USA) know the Mexican team, we aren’t in awe of them. We’ve got a real chance this time. I’m just glad I’m not working early shifts this week like I did last week…so bring it on!
Hehehe, here on the East Coast, gotta GET up for the damn game, so rubbing sleep out of my eyes… And GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO USA!!!
Wish I was there today like I was in '94 for the USA v Brazil game!
Well I’m staying up for it but then again its only 4:30 in the afternoon here. Go Mexico!
The US is probably going to lose, but I’m staying up to watch. 
Hey ell, if you’ll be pulling for Mexico (c’mon, us English speakers gotta stick together!!) then I hope you’ll have reason to get to bed by halftime.
U-S-A!! U-S-A!!
I’m just praying that storm doesn’t hit Ell - I have visions of us losing power until 5 minutes after the match ends. 
Hmmm, they go 3-5-2 so we counter with 3-5-2…I wouldn’t be surprised to see Mexico trot out a 6th midfielder just to see what the heck we’d do then. With the injury trouble, we’ve gotta manage our 3 substitutions well.
Is it just me or are these camera angles truly awful?
The full field cam is at about binocular range, the one close cam is behind the goal, and the other zoom cams can’t seem to get the distance right.
Maybe my eyes are going though…
Oh yeah!!! SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!
GOOOOOAAAAAL!
Camera looked just fine for that one
Someone wanna email the mods and get them to put a “spoiler” warning in the thread title?
Let’s do this:
SPOILERS BELOW ** SPOILERS BELOW ** SPOILERS BELOW
That way nobody gets any more information than they want, although clicking on this thread seems to imply that a game discussion might be occuring, but just to be thourough.
I don’t get to watch it cause I’m at work, but I’m following it online.
USA!! USA!!
I came here looking for a <SPOILER>US V MEXICO</SPOILER> thread like the last 3 games got, didn’t find one, decided here would be an ok place to hang out
Sorry, Plav, there wasn’t one here when I got here but in case one had been started on a page below I didn’t want to title the thread that.
BTW, looks like all our chances are going to come on counterattack this morning if Mexico keeps up this pressure for 90 minutes. This is edge-of-the-seat footballin’ right here!
Good to be here. Most of my friends are watching the game at the house of someone I vowed never to see again after high school ended. Don’t you hate a–holes?
No problem RexDart!
I’ll take counterattack over nothing any day!
About 35 minutes in, and both teams are looking pretty good. USA looks pretty darned coordinated, and I’m impressed. This should be an exciting game. I can easily see the US holding a 1 goal lead over Mexico for most of the game, with fierce attacking by the Mexicans towards the end, making things interesting.
Then again, I don’t really know anything about football.
Big Kahuna Burger, in the spirit of the World Cup, you should forgive the “someone” if s/he has a really big TV and much beer and snacks. 
One more thing: Why hasn’t the US goalie been given a Congressional Medal of Honor or something yet? Day-am!
