This game could turn out to be huge in world cup qualifying. The US needs points here.

Can we boo the Mexican national anthem next time the teams play on US soil?

No the US is the land of "you can't hurt anyone feelings"

Well, I'd like to think we are better than that, but if we boo, then so be it.

I'll be happy with a draw tonight.

We boo their national anthem too. Lots of hate on both sides of this rivalry that transcends soccer/futbol.

A third of the way in, and we are playing uphill, but still 0-0.

Scoreless at intermission. Momentum starting to turn a little.

If the US can score first it will completely change this game and take the crowd out of it

Really glad the US is not just playing defense and that they are controlling and creating some scoring chances

71:00, still scoreless. Mexico has really controlled the ball and made us work hard but we've played some great defense deep in our territory.

Looked like we got a break on a no-call that would have given them a penalty kick and Mexico went ballistic. Soccer really takes flopping to another level, the guy acted like he'd been stabbed after a fall on the grass.
