Was I the only one to notice how well the Mexicans played against teams like Italy in the World Cup, then the United States play them, and they got real dirty, real quick. The Italy game was awesome, and it shows just how good Mexico really is, but when they result to the tactics they use when they play against the United States, they come across really badly. I think its because soccer is such a big part of their culture, and it was one of the only things they could hold over the US. Now that the US has MLS and can give its developing playing time before going over to Europe, we have seemed to pass them up in soccer, and at the bare minimum drawn equal to them. They seem to have taken this very badly and this latest development only attests to that.
