an update to USA Vs. Mexico: Brek Shea, Robbie Rogers Combine For USMNT Equalizer In 1-1 Draw
Yes, exhibitiony is a word. It's a new adjective that I made up. In a competitive fixture, the USA-Mexico match would have followed a much different pattern. Jurgen Klinsmann wouldn't have used such an experimental lineup, both teams would have had more logical substitution patterns, and Mexico...

Okay Jurgen, I know it's just a friendly and you're just trying to get a look at some players, but you could have at least made it interesting.

Well, that's not a good start to the Jurgen Klinsmann era. Though it can't be emphasized enough that this is a friendly and that the United States aren't playing with a full strength squad, it's not terribly encouraging that the USA are already down 1-0 to Mexico. It's been a fairly even match in...

The Jurgen Klinsmann era with the United States men's national soccer team has begun, and his first lineup looks odd and is scaring people.

He was regarded as the best Mexican player since Hugo...
Here's how to kill off a game. Mexico turned nothing into a quite spectacular something when a ball being corralled in the corner by Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez rolled away to Gerardo Torrado and eventually found Giovani dos Santos in Tim Howard's penalty area. What happened next was truly...
You can say what you like about Mexico's antics in the Gold Cup final against the USA, but nobody can deny that this goals were anything but class. While Giovani dos Santos' looping effort in the 76th minute will win most of the plaudits, far more important (and almost as impressive) was Pablo...

Saturday night, in the final of the 2011 Gold Cup, the United States came out and played an ambitious style. They put their best technical players on the pitch, threw caution to the wind for the most part, and tried to beat Mexico at their own game. For 22 minutes, it worked. Then Mexico came out...
