If the USA withstands Mexico's early punch, at the start of both halves, think they'll have a good chance of winning. I'm excited bout this game fellas! Eventhough I feel like the Aggie parent with a kid on the longhorn football team.

Guardado has recovered enough to play tonight, but Salcido hasn't.

It's great that Guardado can play, but I don't know if that outweighs Salcido not playing.

For USA, it's all about preventing the early goal that they so often seem to give up. If Mexico scores early, I think they take control the rest of the game like they've done most of this tournament.

I'm not too concerned if Mexico scores early as long as the US isn't getting rolled over when they do. This US team has proven it can come back from a goal down even if it's not ideal. Hell, last time these two met in GC Final (with both teams A team) the US was losing at HT and yet still won 2-1.

because it was conveniently our C team. Mexicans bragging about this is like bragging about cattle prodding a quadriplegic...or a turtle.

Like clockwork smith&co shows up.

You would be doing the same thing had the roles been reversed.

Do you consider tonights USA team A? Or is this more of a B+? Win or lose, you wont hear me ***** and moan because regardless of what team Mexico throws out I never expect Mexico to lose 5-0 to anyone.

Yes you are totally right and you would be saying the same thing as I am "It was our C team".

Yes I do consider it our A team.

I wonder if any these people will start tonight:

GK 1 Troy Perkins
DF 4 Chad Marshall
DF 3 Clarence Goodson
DF 16 Jay Heaps
DF 2 Heath Pearce
MF 8 Logan Pause
MF 5 Kyle Beckerman
MF 7 Robert Rogers
MF 10 Stuart Holden
MF 22 Davy Arnaud
FW 11 Brian Ching (c)
Substitutes
FW 17 Kenny Cooper
FW 20 Santino Quaranta
FW 15 Sam Cronin

doubt it...

I won't have any excuses if we lose tonight and will not be *****ing or moaning either. I will take defeat respectfully and will not deny Mexico of a well deserved win...

Please. We only ever bring it up when US fans bring up 07.

And last time I checked, all gold cup trophies are the same size.

Goodson is the only player off that team that will start/play, but he's improved greatly in the last year. Holden would start if healthy (or at least get big minutes), and he too has improved a great deal since then.

God that team was a joke.

Bring the hate to the team, maybe even the fans, but not the country.

Actually its the opposite, hate the country, respect the team and some of the fans.

Not sure what the crowd split will be, but parking should be a breeze since all the Mexico fans will arrive in a few minivans

"Mexico" in that usage referred to the team, not the country, since it is the team that is the subject of discussion.

I'm sure most mexicans would like to think that Donovan will be on the bench to start the match, but that will probably not be the case.
Dos a Cero!

No problem m8! I figured it would be best if someone who is just as guilty of posting emotional BS on the boards did it rather than a Mexican fan…

Maybe. I don’t think he will start but we’ll see.

If he doesn’t start I will be shocked. He has proven himself the past two games and deserves more minutes…He is a sleeper who could be very deadly if given a scoring opportunity…

Hey BobWeir, are you still going stay up and support the Yanks?
