Just thought Id give my thoughts on this game since it seems to be a matter of fact that Mexico will kill the US...I think a lot of people still have the US/Panama loss from the group stage in our heads and are combining that with the "stars" that Mexico posses and assume we will be killed.
However since that Panama game, the US has not given up a goal and the back line has been terriffic, specifically Cherundolo. Mexico has struggled in their quarterfinal and semifinal matches as well and while the US always has trouble scoring goals themselves, they are usually a very organized (sometimes boring) side that doesnt take many risks like the other Concacaf sides. This always frustrates the Mexicans which is why they always struggle against the US outside of Mexico. Playing in front a pro Mexican crowd in the US is nothing new to this team.
The key to this game to me is obviously the first 15 minutes. I dont know if its a mental thing or what, but we all know the United States struggles to start, they get out of that and get comfortable, they will be ok.
Final Score 1-1...Howard is great on PK's and Mexico isnt..US wins on PK's. Best of luck to everybody. very pumped for this game.
