Fuck off El Tri

I'm confused. Why didn't Pulisic score? I figured he was just going to do that every game from now on.

He should have

17 passes completed was our highest number?


That can't be right.

It's possible. Our possession couldn't have been more than 25% bit that does seem off

Why are we so excited about a Tie?

He should have

Bobby Wood (or Gonzalez couldn't tell) really should have. US would have won Dos a Cero. Good result though.

Mexico is 40-2-8 in WCQ at Azteca. Not an easy place to pick up points. It's also a much higher altitude than 95% of Concacaf stadiums.

Was he the one that air balled the ball right in front of the goal? You don't get many easy opportunities like that. (I'm looking at you Wondo)

 

[pinochadeac]

Got it. Thanks

It was the hardest match for us to pick up a point.

 

[MysteryMen]

Three straight results in Azteca now. Safe to say that it's lost its luster?

 

[deacvision7]

They still win a shit load of their matches there -- especially in competitive matches

I think we train more for the altitude now, but we also have more experienced players in hostile environments and large crowds. That said, I think the mystique is gone. Guys are getting excited to play there rather than nervous.

 

[MysteryMen]

Didn't Mexico have to play one of their recent qualifiers outside of Azteca because of the puto chants? And if so, shouldn't there be significant penalties issued after tonight?
