Don’t worry George, this was not my game summary, nor did I even come close to touching on all aspects which I will in the coming days. This was merely the start of the post-game coverage.

Carter Daly, I watched the US-Mexico game as well, and as an avid US fan, I have to point out some things you do not mention. The truth is, you painted a very nice summary, but you didn’t paint the whole truth. Mexico pretty much dominated the entire game, and definitely played the better game. They outplayed us in midfield to be sure, and they made our midfield look like fools. In the 2nd half, we couldn’t piece two passes together. Landon Donovan was also pretty much subdued by their PSV defender, the one with the mohawk. If it weren’t for our explosive counterattacks, we would have lost. Our players were also too anxious. Tim Howard almost got sent off fir fighting with one of their forwards for example. Mexico also pulled off a lot of neat little tricks and passes against us. I’m glad that Altidore scored, don’t get me wrong, but the truth is, we were lucky to draw, and Mexico was unlucky to not win. They played pretty well, and they are only gonna get harder once their giovanni kid pulls rank at Barcelona. I think Bradley needs to analyze this game carefully, and really fix our midfield up, it was horrible in the first half. But yeah, hopefully we play better against them next time, but again, I think we were luck to draw. We barely had any shots against them and their forwards kept penetrating our defense too easily and taking shots at us. Well, just my two cents and go USA!!!

An experience and a feeling that will always ring true in the memories and myths of US Soccer’s past. In his first ever start for the USA National Team, Jozy Altidore showed everybody why there has been so [...]
