That was a great match, US beats Panama 1-0! Now they wait for the Honduras-Mexico winner.

1. The US gets Mexico in the Gold Cup Final on Saturday
Lately, we've been no match for Mexico when playing IN Mexico. But the final is in Pasadena, so this should be a great match.

2.  Thanks for the heads up
I can probably find it on one of the Spanish channels.

4. I am shocked
After the farces that were the group stage matches (Panama and Guadeloupe), I thought for sure Jamaica would bounce us right out and we'd finally be rid of Bunker Bob and his merry band of lackluster footballers.

Sigh.

5. Nice pass on that second goal
Edited on Sat Jun-25-11 08:35 PM by JonLP24
Refs seem to be lenient. Which makes it odd that both teams attempted 1 flop, ref didn't fall for it but then again I saw a player get mugged and no call.

edit-Mexico just froze Howard on a goal. This is getting really good now.

6. All level now
Damn. I'm stuck watching it on univision, what was the deal with the Mexican player trying not to touch the ball as it went in?

7. I can't figure that out
They showed the replay several times. It helps to understand the commentary which I don't. :)

8. Mexico won
Clearly the better team.

When I was watching in the first half, USA had trouble stopping Mexico from advancing in their territory yet US scored first two goals. Based on Mexico having little trouble advancing I had a feeling it was just a matter of time before they pulled and stayed ahead.

9. Ended in disappointment
Mexico is on their way up while the US is on their way down. I hope the US will have enough to make it through WC qualifying.
