  1. Mexico needs a win to advance now that Germnay has scored 8 vs Fiji…. a draw will leave all 3 teams on 5 with Mexico missing out… I am sure they will be pushing hardcore now

  2. James played yesterday, he did not miss the game. he came off the bench. i would love to see Bastian sign with an MLS team but probably too late for that to happen until next window.
