OK, OK, I know what many of you are thinking. Mexico didn't have at least 3, perhaps 4, of its best players tonight against the U.S.M.N.T. But look at who was missing from the U.S. team! No Dempsey, no German-based Americans, the tall skinny Nordic kid (what the hell is his name?! God, I'm getting old.), none of the top 3 goalkeepers. Instead, they trotted out a host of young MLS talent who, for the most, beat the Mexican team to just about every single 50/50 ball, who jumped on every momentary loss of possession to poke, pry, push, and pull the ball from the control of their Mexican opponents. 2-0. Clean sheet. No let up. Attack, attack, attack. And the ball control in tight spaces was simply terrific (well, let's not talk about Brek Shea). Couldn't find a more friendly environment in the U.S. for the Mexico team to play than San Antonio. What is it now -- 70% Hispanic? And then, when Juan Aguadelo scored the second goal for the U.S., the crowd erupted. Kind of fascinating to see the Mexican Americans cheering so hard for Juan's goal. The camera panned around the fans. Gave me a lump in the throat. Hatter, were you in the stands?
