PS...I don't mean int he Edmonton game, they actually went 4-4-2 for that one...which was a rare treat away from DM's 4-5-1 that drove the U20's to a goalless, pointless worst-home-nation-performance-in-WC-history performance.

Friend AND Gerba shoudl have played in many of Canada's games....but DM is a fool and doesn't know his arse from his elbow.

4-5-1 at home was embarrasing.

I agree with first Anonymous, hats off to Canada. They played a great match. Nobody expected thattype of match to be played last night. Canada should have been up top ready to go to the hex with the way they played last night. Ho[efully they play the same way vs Jamaica!!!

Luis;

Mexico has been withouth Pardo and Leandro for a few games now, not to mention Marquez missed the last game. Castillo is sorely missed as well.

Those are 3 pretty important players.

With that said, this is by far the hardest group.

We all wish we'd playing Guatemala and Cuba. Anyone can look good against them at home.

Gerba was a beast for Canada not only for last night's game but everytime he play for them. He should've started every game instead of Friend. And I agree Oswaldo needs to step aside, I think he gets worse every game.

That being said Mexico's attack wasn't bad, but their finishing is still a major problem. Castillo needs to get back into the national team picture whether he's playing for a club or not, because their frontline lacks that punch when he's not on the field.

Hats off to Canada, had they played with that much heart all-along they would have more than two measly points. Your coach is a moron, how did they play Robbie Friend over Ali Gerba down in Chiapas. Fast, physical forwards overpower Mexico's back line all the time, it's called scouting. Gerba caused them fits for 15 minutes down in Mexico and he caused them nightmares for 90+minutes last night.

Mexico is in trouble in one way or another because they're defense is atrocious right now and the forwards do not score (See Magallon, Osorio, Galindo).

Oswaldo you are passed it my friend, do the honorable thing and step aside just like Blanco did. Both goals were preventable and Oswaldo had another absolute shocker.

Sven must be having nightmares every night of his life with memories of Oswaldo and Paul Robinson, David James, coming off their line 15 yards every time...poor guy.
