USA vs. Mexico

Ah, Mexico. Your food is delicious, (well, our version of it is.) your culture is very unique, your people are proud and hard working, and your futbol team is second best to the soccer north of the border. Yes, El Tri, you are a quality side, with a few high profile players, and you've faired well in international competition. Until recently, you've dominated us, your American counterparts, soundly. However, that has changed. In simple terms, le poseemos. (we own you.) Mexico, you seem to have trouble digesting this, don't you? Could you run your excuses by me one more time? "We were the better side, we just couldn't finish our chances." Seems to be a favorite. Well, no. Here's the thing about soccer: You win by putting the ball in the back of the net. Therefore, the team that finishes their chances is the better side. You can do all your cute passing and ball handling all you want, but we'll just score goals instead. See, we like to watch you guys walk on to OUR turf feeling awesome because the crowd is predominately Mexican (thanks USSF. I appreciate how you schedule all the US v. Mexico games in the southwest. Play a game at RFK or in Columbus, and see how Pro Mexico it is.), and then watching you walk off in disgust after we beat you, AGAIN. And go ahead and march off the pitch without switching jerseys or shaking hands. (We appreciate you Carlos Salcido, we saw you switch jerseys with Beas...) We don't want to shake Rafa "I'm a big douche bag" Marquez's hand, nor do we want anything to do with Jared Borgetti. Well, most of us don't. Gooch might still want Jared to take a shot at him, but we all know who'll win that tussle. Come February 6, it'll be time for us to meet again, and yet again, I expect the United States will show it's superiority.
