    Haha I love your passion for the game. The US-Mexico rivalry bodes well for the development of both teams. No doubt, Mexico has the richer soccer history & tradition - I can respect that. The US however has had Mexico's number over the last few years. Let's hope both continue to get better and, for the US at least, make beating European teams commonplace instead of a surprise when it happens.

    Don't forget some Central American teams.

    This is what I tell most U.S. fans. It used to be that European powerhouses and some South American teams would take a tour through North America because they saw this as an easy walk-over place to get money and easy wins with Mexico, some Central American teams, and even the U.S.

    In recent years, that hasn't happened. They underestimated Costa Rica as well and look at what they did in the Cup. :eek: Now, they'll face a much better entire region because players and national leagues are stronger. The MLS will still be seen as a kid in a new school in older territories.

    I just hope our region continues to duke it out against POWERFUL teams, offer great football, show some competition. :cool:

    We'll be playing with the A-list, should be a good match. Hummels out though, but that's not necessarily bad this season.

    Klinsmann vs his past players is always a cool situation.

    What channel is it going to be on? I'm checking Fox Sports 1 and it only has a preview of it.

    I have ATT-Uverse so it's blacked out for me. I'm watching via Uni Mas. Hopefully I can find English audio somewhere, but listening in Spanish is exciting even If I don't know what they are saying.

    Yeah, I forgot about it since I've been watching Women's World Cup on Fox Sports 1. Don't know why they black out friendlies but not the World Cup.

    It's still early, but you can already tell that Germany will just comes at the US in waves. There's always a threat/runner, and they control possession. Great test for the US, hope they can tighten it up on the back end and work for the equalizer.

    Didn't expect USA to score before halftime. Really entertaining game.

    USA showing some nice possession, and a good presence side to side with the ball.

    LOLs.

    It's on Unimás. :grin: 1015 or 15 on U-verse.

    Y'all really can't be asking these questions if you call yourselves fans.

    Chandler can't handle the left German attack. He's gotta be changed for y'all to have a good chance at winning.

    WTF Bradley?!? Literally ANYWHERE else, and that would've been a goal. Instead he hits it right at the keeper.....

    Well-deserved. We lost it when Basti went out.

    If Bradley connected his, would be 3-1 right now.
