    Great to see Mexico go out after going up 1-0 in the first 10 minutes. I have to give a bit of respect to them Mexicans for starting 3 men upfront. They went for it and I wish Bruce Arena had done this with our boys against Ghana.

    Oh well, the second goal by the Argentinian was AWSOME!! :eye popping:

    I know how hard it is to root for Mexico considering what jerks their fans can be, but they played very well. They should have played the last 25 or so against 10 Argies. That was a clear pulldown by the last man and should have been a Red. I was sorry they lost.

    And, I am so sick of the American announcers. "This is the 4th consecutive World Cup that Mexico has been eliminated in the first knock out round." How about "This is the 4th consecutive World Cup that Mexico has made it to the knock out round!" That's something France and Holland can't claim -- not to mention the USA.

    Welcome back FUSA!

    I was shocked that I found myself cheering for Mexico. I am not a fan of Mexico but I guess I hate Argentina even more. It must be because Argentina is the better team this time around.

    Mike is right though that Maxi Rodriguez's goal in extra-time was out of this world. If you have not seen it yet, you should check it out on a highlight show. It is easily the goal of the tournament so far.
