Yeah, I knew we were going to be in trouble with Mexico so far as possession goes. I think they possessed the ball very well all tournamanet, and the US definitely has trouble in that department. It

>Part two is the negative behavior some Mexican players had at the end, with some uncalled for violent challenges. I hope that this is punished by FIFA accordingly, and even by the Mexican futbol association to deter the behavior as it has happened before, namely during the "Copa America" tournament in Colombia.

I agree. I think the US played a physical game, but I don't remember seeing any cheap shots. I think I saw Cobi Jones mugged about 3 times after he came in, including the red card play, and one down in the corner where it looked like a Mexican player was intentionally stepping on the back of his calf. I really don't want to see any players get hurt.
