  Also, I know Costa Rica is in first and we want to win the Hex. But fuck, I will be pulling hard for them tonight to pull off the upset. Put the fucking Meh-he-canos in a precarious spot with only 4 games left!

  That'd be hilarious. Imagine we win, CR wins, Honduras wins. End of the night the table looks like this:
  
  Costa Rica 5 GP, 10 pts
  USA 5 GP, 10 pts
  Honduras 5 GP, 7 pts
  Mexico 6 GP, 7 pts
  Panama 5 GP, 6 pts
  Jamaica 6 GP, 2 pts
  
  Oh, and Mexico still has to travel to the US and to Costa Rica (and take on Honduras at Azteca). Needing probably nine points in four games to feel safe, they'd be in a total shit position.

  ANNNNND, we all still have a game in hand (well, not Jamaica). So Mexico would be DONE on 7 pts for this round. Everyone else with a match still to play. With 4 to go, they could easily be sitting in 5th place with the toughest remaining schedule. Would be awesome. I dont think it happens, but it would be awesome.

  I just want US to win. not worried about the rest, personally, since I know how shaky we have played recently...

  Hopefully this game starts close to 10. Mexico game delayed 10 minutes right now due to travel issues

  Am I the only one who thinks it is BS that ESPN got the rights to all the Mexico games yet was too cheap to get the USA road games? I refuse to put the tv on for the Mexico games.

  Was the Mexico @ Jamaica match on ESPN? I watched on univision haha.
• patriots34

  Well it might not have been. To me it just feels like ESPN has been pushing Mexican soccer more than American soccer for the last year or so.

  I think they only have the rights to home matches for them too (qualifiers and friendlies).
  
  Mexico looks horrible. Again.
• iclfan2

  

  0-0 at halftime for Mexico vs Costa Rica. CR looked to have a couple more chances than the Mexicans. One real nice shot off the post early on. Would love to see Mexico go down, regardless of the point implications for the US.

  Mexicans pelting Bryan Ruiz.

  Yeah just terrible. I love how CR is just milking this clock haha.
• iclfan2

  

  Ugh. Mexico fans are the worst. Quit throwing shit you assholes. (And yes, I liked the Browns bottlegate, but they are just being shit heads)

  I haven't been watching this whole game... but if I remember correctly wasn't bottlegate due to a huge terrible call(s)?

  I wonder if he demanded that someone give him a Redd's apple ale.

  Ha yea, that was my point. The Mexis are just being assholes. Like usual.

  Ah yeah I figured... I just didn't know if there was some terrible call against them or something haha.
  
  2 minutes come on CR!
• Iliketurtles

  

  Jesus 7 minutes of extra time. I wouldn't be surprised if Mexico gets a goal.
• iclfan2

  

  Haha F you Mexico.
• Mulva

  

  Chepa's gotta be gone. Mexico is just brutal in attack right now.
• Iliketurtles

  

  I was really hoping that guy for CR would have just ripped off a shot and make it in. At least they didn't give Mexico the win.
  
  Now lets go USA!!!
• Laley23

  

  A USA win and this night would be perfect. Fuck Mexico.
• wildcats20

  

  So why won't they play this game on the field turf?
