Typical USA vs Mexico game
Mexico more technically skilled, better possession. And you can see the hungry for this game
Castillo is a Uruguayan. Sanchez has a pure pro-Mexican stance, and he dropped all the non-Mexico born...except this fella. The Mexican public loves him and Sanchez selected him purely under pressure and benched him right thru. The Mexican press was on his a$$ about that especially as Mexico was looking poor this cup. Sanchez started him today knowing that if he lost, he could get fired..especially after ignoring pleas to play on of Mexico's best players.
Anyway..like I said, typical US vs Mexico, except Mexico got the breakthrough that they have been missing in recent encounters in the US. Anyone who has watched these two play know that Mexico always has the better of possession, better chances, but the US always hits them on the break and always has brilliant goalkeeping and defense to help them. This defense, with Onyewu, Spector and Bornstein a little to inexperienced..they struggling bad.
In the attack, Beasly looking like the US' best player. He and Bornstein look good on the left. Nothing else going on for them.
Mexico more than deserve their lead.
Hope the US can improve in the 2nd half. Mexicans has the most arrogant team in Concacaf and they are not good sports at all. Hugo Sanchez is a nasty fella too. I used to like them as they used to rep Concacaf good. But lately I make out how they look down on everyone. Make the US look positively saint-like, Cyah stand to see them win anything now
Go TnT!!!
