Is it the same? The US isn't in. He plays in Mexico. He has a ton of friends on that team.

My only issue is partnering with that bank.

I'm ok with him having a secondary team.

And it's not like he's rooting for Mexico over the US.
So, if the sips were playing Michigan in a NCAA Football Championship Playoff Game, it would be okay with you if a well-known professional Aggie football player (e.g., Von Miller) would make commercials saying since the Aggies did not make the playoffs, he is throwing his full support behind his arch rivals, his "secondary team," the evil ones from Austin?

That is pure BS!!! And you know it!



Ya'll need to take it somewhere else...... NOBODY CARES.

It's like all the jackholes wearing the tu support tshirts from AO (the the horns "un-sawed" with band-aids) when tu played USC for the NC.

Neymar didn't himself favors but Layun was a total punk.

Landon got paid, his real mistake was not just taking the ribbing and questions former teammates posed for him and turning it into some real thing like he actually cared.

The difference is we don't recruit against Mexico, typically.

Yeah...once is a mistake, twice is completely intentional.

I would guess to be more MLS based players than not since it's the beginning of European leagues. Lots of the European based players are fighting for 1st team minutes and may not make sense for them to fly over for the friendlies.

While he should get a straight red...Neymar shouldn't be in that much pain. It looks like he had to have his foot amputated
When is a foul not a RC or a YC?. The ball is out of play, a player is lying on the ground off the pitch, an opponent stands over him, and with his cleats, steps on his ankle.
That's when. Not to the Referee or the Review idiots.

Mexico's 2018 World Cup was like an A&M football season under Sumlin.

Like South Carolina, Arizona State, and UCLA, Germany just wasn't that good.
Every 4 years Mexico yells "this is the year!" but each time they prove to be an overhyped, 2nd tier "South American" team.

Every Mexico loss makes me happy, but I will give them props for taking the early game to Brazil.

It's a stark comparison to our '14 game with Belgium, where we held on for dear life.

Belgium. This game shouldn't be close. So I expect it will end in kicks.

I think Japan is the sleeper.

Can anyone confirm or deny that most of Belgium's team plays in the MLS?

Belgium is known for choking so if it does indeed go to kicks, Japan will win lol...

lol No Panic from Japan = kicking the ball all the way back to their goalkeeper from deep in the offensive side.

I can't even explain the anger that will seethe from within my soul if Japan and Russia make it to the fifth game and Mexico doesn't.

Mexico and the US have good to great players. We are able to play the top european teams tough, but if we ever expect to be a legitimate threat to win the world cup each time, getting the majority of your players over to Europe is part of it. We have made a lot of progress in that regard over the past decade, but the results dont just show up over night. Gotta keep building on it, and have that mindset.

Now some of our players will be going over to Europe as young as they possibly can. Some of them will develop in our MLS youth systems, some of which are producing great players now. They can move over to Europe a little later, but the goal needs to be to go there and to the right situations.

Japan's game plan is clearly to wear Lukaku out by making him play the ball so often.

Once Japan starts to get tired, this will get ugly pretty fast.

Japan just has no size answer for Kompany and Lukaku.

i am not very technical when it comes to this sport and I admit it but seems like maybe Belgium's best chance might be an opening from just outside the box vs trying to feed it within 5 yards of the box

Japan has actually threatened on the counter attack, Belgium could end up regretting not putting one of their many chances away

There is a real tendency with teams to some what "play for the perfect goal" which is what you are describing. That's not a bad thing to do, but you do need to test the keeper from range as well if it's not working.
