My friend told me about the end of the match, with both teams not really playing. But you are right, who can blame them? They are advancing.

Now it gets really interesting: if the US finishes 2nd in the group (draw against Poland, win by either Portugal or S. Korea), a match vs. Mexico!

>How about that? 1-1 tie for Mexico to make top spot. Great goal by Borgetti too. Although that score by Italy came on a lapse by three of Mexico defenders.

>At the end it looked kind of ugly that both teams didn't play at all knowing they were both advancing. There was about 5 minutes of Mexico passing the ball around among defenders with everybody else watching and waiting!! But then again none of the other two teams could have made it after their result.
