Kudos Guys! USA USA USA
Amazing it appears we were outplayed if you look at the stats. Zero corner kicks for us. But a win is a win and maybe we can build some momentum.
Here is a recap for anyone wanting some details: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report/_/id/337224?cc=5901
This is actually an amazing achievement. The US was missing two of our best players and the team captain. Mexico was near full strength. Mexico also very rarely loses in the ‘Azteca’ stadium (having played about 120 games in the stadium they have only lost 9 times including last night’s loss). The US had never beaten Mexico in Mexico before last night.
Even though it was a ‘friendly’ (an exhibition match) the result is devastating for Mexico. Based on the success of their youth teams and their win in the 2010 Gold Cup I think Mexico was too cocky and it came back to bite them.
