USA vs Mexico "The Cold War"


You know what I can't get out of my head? This game!! It is not just another friendly game. This one actually counts. The hexagonal starts tomorrow and both teams have been unlucky to play each other for the first game in this round robin qualifier game. Let me explain how big this game is. There are six teams who play each other home and away for a total of ten matches. The top three teams make it to the World Cup and the fourth place plays vs 5th ranked team in South America. And yes, its almost likely that USA and Mexico will go through but you have to understand the magnitude of the game and the importance and confidence that brings the teams to beat each other.

For the first time in a VERY long time USA is favorite. We might have to go back to the 1930s when it was seen like this. The fact is this, USA has dictated a hegemony over the Mexican team. I mean, we've only beaten USA twice this decade and both victories came on a Sunday afternoon under the smog and altitude of Mexico City. Mexico hasnt beaten USA in American soil during a qualifier match since the 1970s. Fuck me

Anyways, heres my prediction and my reasons.

USA 2-0 Mexico

- Mexico wont be playing 5 of their starters due to injuries or suspensions.
-Magallon: injury, scored both goals last time both teams played each other on a 2-2 game
- Arce: suspension, easily replaceable but will need his crosses
-Guardado: injury, maybe the best player in the national team wont be playing. This is the guy who creates opportunities when the team is playing like shit.
-Torrado: suspension, our best mid defensive player. This means that Marquez will have to cover two spots. The back and the middle of the field.
-Vela: suspension. Really?? Fourth forward of the mighty powerful Arsenal of England wont be playing cause of a stupid STUPID foul he committed on the last game vs Honduras.

-The weather. Too cold for the Mexicans. But then again, I dont think the American players will be playing with any extra layers.

-USA soil. Last two games played in Columbus: 2001 USA2-0Mexico; 2005 USA2-0Mexico.

-Mexico has been playing like SHIT!!! Last five matches: 4 loses 1 win. Lost to Jamaica@Jamaica, Honduras@Honduras, Canada@Canada, Sweden@USA and victory against Ecuador @ USA.


Hope my team wins but I highly doubted. Wow im tired and I cant write but I just had to write this before tomorrow.

Viva Mexico Cabrones!!

  1. Holy shit! I didn't know Mex. wasn't starting 5 of their starters! I thought USA would win before knowing that, so they will definitely win now!

    I also didn't know USA won 2-0 in their last 2 ganes in Columbus. USA! USA!
