Saturday, 9 Eastern

I think we've looked like crap for some time now. No Dos a Cero this year.

I hope we do, but I'm not feeling confident after the form we've been in lately, and it being a defacto home game for Mexico. I'll be watching and hoping for the best though!

we are playing in the US, right? If we lose, JK needs to go.

It's at the Rose Bowl, so we might as well be playing on the road. Supposedly CONCACAF distributed the tickets evenly among both supporter groups, but there's 30 percent for the general public, and the Mexican fans will lap those up.

Prepare for laser pointers, and players getting things thrown at them on corner kicks.

I do agree though, we lose, Klinsmann needs to go.

I hope someday that enough Mexico fans are embarrassed by that for it to end.

But given the Gold Cup, it wouldn't appear likely.

I do recall similar immaturity at NFL games in the not too distant past.

Aren't such fans ejected from games?

Soccer really doesn't have the history of fan ejections world wide. They have a lot more ability to do whatever they want. It took England years to clean up what was going on there, and they still have a fair amount of problems.

Soccer tends to do nothing about fans or go nuclear (ie. make the teams play in a closed stadium).

It's all those damn illegals Trump has been warning us about. Now they are invading our sporting events and bring laser pointers with them. Build a wall already so that our fans canot enjoy a nice quiet well kept match.

Gotta love those immigrants that come to America for jobs, but root for Mexico and fly Mexican flags. If you love Mexico so much, stay there.

So...umm, does that mean all the American Ex Pats who now reside in Europe shouldn't cheer for the USMNT?

Just to be clear I was being sarcastic...I actually own two Mexico futbol jerseys and love cheering for El Tri...except for today. Today it's all USA.

Jurgen Klinsmann is better suited as a technical director. I like his overarching vision for US Soccer, but he's not a great tactican. Jogi Loew was always his X's and O's guy in Germany. Klinsmann built a lot of the foundation that lead to Germany's World Cup victory last summer. But Loew was objectively the better coach. Losing tonight would be unacceptable and a big step backwards.

1-0 Mexico after just 9 minutes. This is going to get ugly

US answers in 5 minutes. 1-1. Bottles already being thrown at US Players.

1-1 at halftime

1-1 going to Extra Time. Mexico should have gotten a late penalty, but Ref didn't see a Matt Besler handball.

Well...that was expected. 2-1 Mexico. About 24 minutes left

Do they still have their citizenship?

US drops an excruciating game 3-2 in Extra time on a last minute incredible goal for Mexico.

Fire Jugen?
