Gold Cup FInal 2011 - Mexico vs USA

[BB73]

From the Rose Bowl on Saturday evening.

Don't like the looks of this one. At all.

Mexico is playing like a top 10 side. US is not at their best. In Pasadena? Ugh.

Chicharito does work. US defense is slow. I'm worried. But in the end...

Dos-a-cero. Fuck. Mexico!

 

[OH10]

Yeah, this is a mismatch. Laying 2k on the Baby Pea and Mexico to win in regulation.

I'll be wearing my red, white and blue though.

USA USA USA USA USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[DaBears]

Mexico should house the US. They have better players, will be playing in front of 95% Mexican fans, and have been playing well lately. I hope the US can pull out the win, but it would be a massive upset if they do.

Is this going to be televised at all? I ran through the usual suspect channels last night, but I couldn't find it anywhere.

 

[Trevi]

The only listing I found was Univision

I wish these finals events would make their way back east or in the south/midwest sometimes. It always seems like the matches are in Foxboro Stadium, The Rose Bowl or in Houston.

Would love to see the "patriotic flavor" if they played this match at Tiger Statdium in Baton Rouge, Solider field in Chicago or LF field in Philly.

Columbus Crew Stadium provides one of the best home field advantages for the U.S. because its small enough to sell out before Mexican fans can buy up the tickets. But it doesn't make enough money, so we probably won't ever see it happen again.

It will probably be on Fox soccer channel

Looks to be on both Univision and Fox Sports.

First of all the game will be broadcast on two stations in the United States. If you prefer watching your soccer with English language commentary, you can find the game on Fox Soccer Channel. If you prefer watching your soccer with Spanish commentary, you can watch the game on Univision.

Golazo indeed.

US wins 2-1. I wasn't impressed with the way Mexico created opportunities against Honduras. It was more a lapse in defense, than good offensive strategy.

 

[jlb1705]

bump.

Adu, Donovan both starting for the US.
