LOL. Good one.
I've only seen reverse. Glad Klinsmann sees something else.
Mexicans cheer for their team, but I’ve got wind that per the politics and economies of Mexico, per candid conversations, Mexicans hate it, you have organized crime, corruption. If you get a job, it’s hard to be upwardly mobile. So we hear the Middle Class has been growing.
I know that whenever we find that the Mexico match is wrapping up today, we'll be off the road and at home; we live in an area with a heavy Mexican demographic and all the beer bars and partiers will be sucking 'em up the entire day, then firing up their cars.
Also glad we're not in Los Angeles...win or lose, there will be riots again.
Any news on Altidore?
My prediction: US wins 2-1.
Watching Holland Mexico. Big game, but its hard to see Mexico winning.
There was the first big chance of the game and it was Mexico’s. We’ll see here.
El Tri-Color, Mexico, Another good chance on goal. Netherlands none.
Mercy, Mexico is going to score at this rate, Dutch goalkeeper way out of net.
No foul on Robben? Wow.
Every team has injuries.
I can see these water breaks becoming a standard thing. Because it provides a chance for more commercials during the game. I think the networks are going to demand it.
Wake Up, Holland!
Kenya believe it?
What you Ghana do?
Holland can strike quickly.
What’s with the high boots? I mean, head level? This would have been dangerous play when I was a yute.
The governing body are looking into reports that a Brazil Football Confederation official threw a punch at the Chile striker
Fifa have opened an investigation into claims that the spokesman for the Brazil Football Confederation assaulted a Chile player during Saturday’s World Cup clash in Belo Horizonte.
Mexico has been good as the commentator Van Nistelrooy indicated as well. I guess seeing Netherlands carve up Spain so badly makes you think they could do that against about anyone.
Holland denied a clear penalty.
Yes, when you step on the attacker’s foot, there isn’t much doubt to that....think i have that but..
OLE, how about that folks, Mexico scored, 1-0
