On the Eve of the new Season...

man, if it wasn't for the knee, i'd totally get ba on the back of my shirt

Ashley Young…..does that mean we can cash in on Nani? (Like Ronaldo..talented but not a United player in my opinion)

Yes.  The last thing united needed was another winger (unless Giggs isn't coming back for one last season…).  Nani out, a central midfielder in.

BTW…that gold competition thingie that is going on…I have to go with Chicharito so sorry my yankee doodle dandies…

since i'm not subscribed to fox soccer whachamachannel, my only option for watching the game at home is on Univision. !Viva!

in protest, we'll be drinking margaritas & coronas and cheering for el tricolor.  yes, i realize that makes no sense, but it's a convenient excuse to make and drink margaritas ;D

smackie, where do your allegiances lie?  does your love of the little bean lead you to treason?

univision  bites.. the commentators are awful and couldn't be more pro-mexico/anti US if they tried… 

i watch it too when i have to but that channel really sucks… and the commercials- some of them- are beyond sketchy…the women look and act like cheap hookers and they seem to be filmed on ancient cameras…

Univision's commentators are awful, their metaphors are beyond idiotic, and yes, they are very pro-mexico…but I must say, for the most part, Concacaf soccer is unwatchable…hopefully we'll see some decent fútbol tonight…I hope the U.S. makes it to the Confederation Cup, it's really cool when this country gets excited with a soccer match…

Oh, I agree.. CONCACAF is pretty much unwatchable…

although what a first half!

the USA-Mexico matchups are always interesting…

what is Bornstein still doing on the team..

Dempsey was awful in the second half, and also Howard, especially in the fourth goal…fun game though, too bad for the U.S., but I guess they need to learn how to stay focused throughout the game…

Shocked it wasn't Spector.  Sure Bornstein was great in the WC, but he's been crap since.

But don't overlook Mexico's Torres for Salcido sub.  They weren't ready for Adu, and adjusted accordingly.  Bob Bradley did nothing about that and sat back and watched Bornstein get abused. Please bring in a foreign coach…

GROUP STAGE

June 7  USA 2-0 Canada
June 11 Canada 1-0 Guadalupe
June 14 Canada 1-1 Panama

bradley at fault again, i agree with smackie

complete failure to do something to help the fullbacks defies explanation

Of course a latino channel would be biased towards Mexico….it's only the English media that are self-loathing defeatist morons.

The USA is no different. Try watching the olympics. Once the American is out, that event is never seen or heard from again. If that was the same with Gt. Britain all we'd ever see is cycling during the Olympics….which would be perfectly fine with me actually.

Next thing you know you'll say "Of course the entire Rose Bowl or near that would cheer for Mexico.."
