Well as most of you know the USA lost 2-1 to Mexico. It was a pretty evenly played game until the last 30 minutes when it was noticable that the USA was tired. They lacked possesion and pace and Mexico took advantage. The Ref was overwhelmed and made easy calls look bad, but all in all pretty good game until the Mexicans showed their true colors!
I have alot of Video's and articles from all the games yesterday so watch and read.
Here's the lot
