Just a friendly match so the players can get used to each other and experiment and such

No.... It's just Mexico getting ready.

They play two other teams after that one.

 

[Ryck]

Ughh Mexico's lineup is not very ideal, Marquez in the midfield?

 

[Wes]

Mexico have another friendly on Wednesday so they're cycling the whole squad through both games.

Yeah figured but I thought for England they would field a stronger side.

 

[confuziz]

I laugh at maza rodriguez and salcido. 2 of the worst defenders of all time imo :lol

They get ridiculed at PSV, but they play in the national team? come on man.

USA vs. Czech Republic tomorrow at 8 EST.

I'm going to the USA v. Turkey match in Philly on Saturday. Go USA!

USA v Turkey is going to be an amazing match. Turkey's 1st half against the Czech Rep. was total and brutal domination. Stealing balls, constant attacks, it was hungry attacking football and it was beautiful. Shame the second half they were made to play defensively and more for possession. Sabri is a poor RB substitute for Gokhan Gunal, can't defend his flank for baklava. Gonna be great to see these 2 great teams clash.

No more Fatih Terim means no more stupid subbing or player favouritism

traitors.

 

[MidnightRider]

I hope this goes into your thread Wes.

 

[Ryck]

traitors.

My posts are always ignored cause I don't live in there. I don't get to post as much as I'd like to these days.

 

[confuziz]

as expected, england scored =P

 

[Critical Jeff]

England just scored. From a cross from left field, then headed from the far post to center, then headed right from the first header into the goal.

 

[MidnightRider]

Man I cant wait for the World Cup to get going.

sucks I have a full time job now and will miss a lot of games

I miss 2006 when I was still in college and didn't miss a single game.

 

[TangMeng]

Canada's about to get smoked by Argentina.


Needless to say, I'm excited!

Poor poor Canucks...... running around thinking "Where is the ice??" "Pass me the puck....err.... ball"

luckily I live in Argentina and it's unthinkable that anyone works when the team is playing, so my company will put up giant screens to watch the games :lol

btw Argentina - Canada is about to start

Mexico absolutely destroying us. Milner and Carrick doing nothing.

 

[confuziz]

What did I tell you :lol ...

2 nil to england

P.S. Love how West Ham's goalie is the best...... i guess playing for a shitty team and getting balls shot at you all game will make you a beast.

Robert Green :bowdown:

 

[Critical Jeff]

England just scored again, wasnt that a handball?

 

[Ryck]

Wow Mexico is being destroyed I guess I'll just shut the fuck up then. :lol

 

[Deadman]

Yeah it was.


England incredibly lucky to be winning.

 

[Washed_Out]

wtf I was switching computers and england scored again. Hate being mexican sometimes

 

[Feathers]

England can thank their lucky stars that Mexico's defence is complete shit. Plus if Vela had his shooting boots on we would be smoked by now.

I just talked about maza rodriguez and salcido but nobody responded..they are complete shit.

 

[Critical Jeff]

Mexico's Coach looks like a mean mofo.

 

[Washed_Out]

GOOOOL!

 

[Outdoor Miner]

I dunno what game you guys are watching. England's defense is the one that's been complete shit.

If this were a South American club they would be beating England 4-0 this half.

Edit- And there's a Mex goal. lol

 

[Critical Jeff]

Mexico scores on a corner in the 46th min. Headed from the top of the box, rebounds off the near post then is tapped into the goal. It should be tied now, England's 2nd goal was offsides and a handball.

 

[Plasma]

Hahaha, how bad is our defence if we can't mark somebody limping around the pitch.

 

[-Eddman-]

Mexico is playing well, but yeah, defense is awful and (still don't know why) they have Perez -3rd goalkeeper, a grandpa who has nothing to do there...- instead of Ochoa or Luis Michel. Vela fucking sucks, hopefully Aguirre will put "Chicharito" Hernandez for the second half.

I am sure they don't want to get Ochoa hurt prior to the world cup.

Ballack scared them

 

[Feathers]

Mexico more than deserved that goal. Torrado playing great, he was always sound for me in Football Manager But they should really stick Marquez in defence for the World Cup if this current backline is the alternative.

hopefully Aguirre will put "Chicharito" Hernandez for the second half

Would like to see him play too, see if he can step up to the Man U plate.

 

[NoRéN]

Oh shit! What a goal!

 

[Washed_Out]

Yup, mexico's defense is trash.

 

[Feathers]

:lol Nice goal.

 

[Google]

You people saying England's defence are shit - are you watching the same game as me?

Yeah, they fucked up on that corner (well, Baines did), but overall, they're sitting back, restricting Mexico with shit possession, and making them cross the ball in...

You're aware this is good defending, right?

We playing direct, counter-attacking football. We'll always have less possession...

 

[TangMeng]

Maxi Rodriguez is making Canada his bitch :lol



Sick goal by Johnson.

 

[Huevos de Oro]

Great goal.

Our team sucks, not because they play shit, since they have a number of skilled players, but they lack both the tactical discipline in defense AND the mental strenght in forward positions to make a difference where it really counts.

 

[TangMeng]

Di Maria is a BEAST!

 

[leroidys]

Are you guys watching this online somewhere?

 

[TangMeng]

Are you guys watching this online somewhere?

Telemundo and ESPN 3

 

[Mr Cola]

Watching England play poorly has become a comforting feeling :lol. Oh to read the back pages tomorrow
