WTF? They are throwing things on the pitch now
Argentina is toying with Mexico right now.
67th minute- Jared “Sven Who?” Borgetti comes into the match.
I’d like to think that Howard or GUzan would have made that save. Shot seemed a little slow..
He’s under orders from Barcelona to get him injured before the olympics roll around
It was raining out here today. I know it shocked us too….maybe the grass was too wet.
Now it’s Torrado with the hard foul on Messi. Does Alfio Basile know Messi has to be healthy for Sunday’s game vs. the USA? Maybe not.
Not for nothing but on the replay it almost looks like Argentina goalkeeper Roberto Abbondenzerri let that one go in.
Well that was vaguely similar to Ronaldinho’s dancing chip against Chelski…except opposite corner
62nd minute- Goal Mexico. It’s Zinha, curling chip from just outside the area. It was a nice shot that left the goalkeeper flat-footed.
As soon as a Mexican scores I’ll let you know.
Messi just got fouled hard by Salcido. He looks to be okay. Not a good tackle at all.
You may have answered this before, but what do you think about Dos Santos Ives?
Yes John, but who has depth like Argentina? Even Brazil doesn’t these days.
Dos Santos had ankle surgery last month, which might explain his absence.
On the other side no Cambiasso, Riquelme, Tevez, or Crespo
Also not playing tonight is Giovani Dos Santos, at least I haven’t seen him. He might be in England completing his move to Tottenham from Barcelona.
My bad, Osorio and Salcido are both there.
I haven’t seen Omar Bravo either.
It should be noted that several young players aren’t on the field for Mexico, including Rafael Marquez, Pavel Pardo, Jorge Salcido and Adolfo Bautista.
Who is Mexico’s left back….that was dumb. Should be 4-0
53rd minute- Wow, Cruz just missed a sitter set up by Aguero after a bad Mexico turnover.
Too bad Messi’s tackle wasn’t on Sanchez…
That was a while ago now, but a little indirect revenge would be satisfying.
Messi just has another gear that nobody else on the field has. And yes, he’s still playing.
American fans will be made happier by the fact that Oswaldo Sanchez is in net this game.
1st goal- Free kick from deep floated in, failed clearance falls to Burdisso, who buries the volley from about eight yards out.
2nd goal- Filthy goal. Messi to Maxi, Maxi to Cruz left side of area, Cruz centers the ball, Aguero with a beautiful dummy to a wide-open Messi, who taps it home from near the penalty spot. Lovely sequence, Aguero just knew Messi would be there so he let the pass go right by him.
3rd goal- Messi starts the play again. dribbles into the ride side of the area, races past about four Mexico defenders before serving a ball in front of goal. A failed clearance pops in the air, where Maxi pounces to bury it for the 3-0 lead.
Now I see why Mexico climbed 3 spots in the FIFA rankings!
this is crazy. I’ve been laughing for the past 5 mins because it’s hard to believe. well, not really, this is argentina after all but our defense has played horrible so far.
messi + aguero are going to be DEADLY.
i’ve gotta find a paper bag to put over my head for the next year.
I’m definitely scared of the Messi-Aguero combo up front. Our defense should be too.
How is it that Argentina seems to pump out these players like Messi, Tevez, and Aguero?
Short, low center of gravity, strong, quick, ball always seems to stick to feet, etc.
Unless those guys are injured or burn out, Argentina should be a lot of fun to watch in 2010.
The only Argentina player I don’t really see anything from is Cruz. Of course, they have some guy from ManU who can fill in at that position.
Beside Tevez, the team is missing Cambiasso, Riquelme, Saviola… yikes.
eee. Explains alot.
wow…should we be scared for the usa come sunday????
Dano, I’m pretty sure he’s done an MLS game or two as part of the ref exchange program, probably a Toronto FC game or two.
Am I the only person who thinks that the half time interviews with the players …especially if they are losing is harsh?
And is it unlimited substitutions?
sucio!
I really dislike the ref that is doing this game. Every time we have him, I feel like I’m watching a MLS ref.
Halftime, Argentina 3, Mexico 0.
You might want to tune in for the halftime replays of the goals.
The crazy-eyed Canadian ref I like to call “The Serial Killer” is the referee.
Game is on Telemundo, 47. It’s almost halftime.
games pretty much over
mexico were playing good too when it was 0-0
they just got blitzed
After watching the Champions League Final in that beautiful HD feed, it really sucks having to go back to blurry crap.
What channel is this on?
He prolly wont play the second half much… Is it unlimited subs?
I almost want them(Mexico) to get at least one goal in. Just to please the home crowd. Messi and Aguero connect really well
Messi nearly breaks someone’s leg with a tackle. I think U.S. Soccer is praying Messi doesn’t get hurt before Sunday’s match. I wonder how long he plays in this one.
If Argentina are going to play this well on Sunday, the US might as well not even show up. I haven’t seen a ton of Mexico’s games, but I’ve never seen anyone make them look this bad. Think Sven is having second thoughts?
Of course I miss the three goals and now Argentina is just going to knock it around.
There goes Messi dancing around.
And whose idea was the field board seeting? Is this Arena football?
Hey guys, I just turned the game on. No score on the screen so I don’t know what the score is right now.
Funny thing is I was at the last meeting between these teams, Argentina’s World Cup win against Mexico in the Round of 16. Maxi Rodriguez’s insane goal won it. Great game.
Wow. 3-0 to Argentina and they are only in the 32nd minute.
I am supporting Argentina and even I feel bad for Mexico
Wow. What a beatdown so far.
