SoccMan Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Well the US in front of a close to 63000 standing room only crowd in Phoenix Arizona defeat Mexico once again 2-0. Landon Donovan gets an assist and scores a nice goal for the US victory. It's been quite a bit of time since Mexico has beaten the US it seems.

Guest speedmonk42 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Well they didn't do it pretty, but a win is a win. It was a fast paced game, both teams working hard. I don't know enough about the US team anymore to say if that was a total A squad or not. Looks like a nice stadium, and a pretty amazing crowd. The US keeper made some good saves and came out well on a few cross/corner kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And at least 5 thousand of those 63k in attendance were American. Oh... and Mexico beats the USA all the time... just not on American soil.

Yeah, but those are the facts aren't they? Mexico dominates in Mexico, USA dominates in US and A. I'm not sure why. Although remember that there is alot more to home advantage than just the crowd. Weather, altitude, size of the playing field, jet-lag, etc. And of course in Mexico 100% of the fans are supporting them instead of "only" 70% or whatever.
