YELLOW CARD: Untrustworthy
Yeah! Mexico has a tendency of playing hard in the first half and with the most amount of possession, only to be beaten by the U.S with two or three shot on the net..

USA v. Mexico - Feb. 6th [P & R]

OK, they showed the replay now. It looked like Dempsey was literally an inch or two offside. Very close call.
Harkes is right... Clark and Bradley aren't a great tandem. They're good players but they're far too similar. Neither is really a "holding" midfielder.
Note to Ramiro Corrales: stop committing stupid fouls to set up dangerous set piece opportunities for Mexico. If we win against Mexico with Corrales in the line-up, this will truly be a great accomplishment.

Corrales is the Mole.
Meh.
Howard - 7 (solid)
Corrales - 2 (awful horrible terrible...)
Bocanegra - 7 (read game well)
Onyewu - 7 (great goal)
Moor - 4 (great cross to set up Altidore's goal, but lost Magallon on set pieces... twice, and we know what happened both times)
Clark - 5 (mixed game, but ultimately outclassed by Mexican midfielders)
Bradley - 5 (see Clark)
Convey - 4 (invisible)
Donovan - 6 (he was marked VERY tightly)
Dempsey - 6 (had some good touches)
Altidore - 7 (great time and place to get his first national team goal)

No real surprises in this game. Corrales sucked, Moor showed his inexperience, Convey showed that he is in poor form.
The sad thing is I think we have some genuinely talented players on an individual level (Altidore, Dempsey, Donovan, Adu, Bradley and even Clark) but we just didn't play well as a team tonight. Something's off with Bradley's tactical system. I can't believe he gave Corrales the start either. What was the point in that?

Pie in face moment.
