Gave coach Bradley too much credit. After the US went up 2-0, he moved Donovan back up front and Dempsey back to the midfield. Result ... US offense looses momentum and it's now 2-2.

Really the game feels like it should be 3 or 4 to 1 Mexico, but the US still has a puncher's chance. Unfortunately, Mexico is clearly the better team talent-wise right now. The US back line is a sieve.

The young Mexican players are just so much better then the young Americans. It's not even close. Mexico was better in every facet of the game today.
Should've been 4-3 ... Bradley just missed an open net. Would've been a tough shot, no doubt, but one that you have to make.

No doubt. Mexico is the class of CONCACAF.
