>>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.

With such a decent run in the world cup, it's just ugly that they have to tarnish the image of the team like that.

Yes it's true, some of us Mexicans are real hardasses but why not channel that impetus in a positive way?! :)
