Copa America: Mexico gana!
Mexico fans can correct me if I'm wrong, but I bet they wouldn't trade tonight's win over Brazil for a win over the USA last Sunday. In a game sponsored by the movie Transformers, I wouldn't have been more suprised if Castillo had transformed into a robot spider right there on the pitch. His goal was superb. He took a pass, tapped it up to evade one Brazilian, and never let it hit the ground before he hit it again to arc it over the keeper. It was even more impressive in slow motion. Then they scored a clinical second and went into halftime ahead 2-0. Brazil got it together and was the better team the second half, but they couldn't beat an incredible performance by portero Guillermo Ochoa. It wasn't quite Shaka Hislop scale, and still a little short of Kasey Keller's '98 blanking of the Brazilians, but it was close. I get the feeling Mexico wants a chance at Argentina, and not in some friendly dubbed a rematch. Also, Chile beat Ecuador 3-2, a minor upset in that Ecuador has been to the last two World Cups and Chile hasn't been since '98. 0 comments from 0 users
