I watched the women's quarterfinals USA vs. Brazil. Honestly I'm never watching a USA game again. All the announcers do for 90 minutes is talk up the players and make, in my opinion, arrogant and inaccurate statements about the opposing team. Any time the ref made a call in favor of Brazil, there was an uproar of the announcers, but when an *inaccurate* call was made in favor of the US, they fell silent. Announcers should be neutral.

DOOD, I watched that game on ESPN and it was sooo damn annoying and infuriating! The British commentator actually had to keep putting the American girl commentator in check. They absolutely get paid to be neutral but just couldn't help themselves I guess.

yes it is when it isn't mexico's top squad. I'm surprised it was only 1-0, I was expecting 3-0 or higher.

Then im sure you were pleasantly surprised with the scoreline :D:D

A better fight. Is that too much to ask?

true. Regardless, although also hilarious being they were on the verge of a major embarrassment, it seems to have worked. Fans like Messi again and the players are now saying they are capable of beating the best.

pathetic as it is but still we'll take, their win, by 3-0, guaranteed that Brasil will make the quarter-finals even with a tie. Which seems that is as good as we are right now. Fkng sucks.



even with a win they wouldn't progress.

yeah, I didn't even watch it, I just let my phone update me when the gol happened.

1-0 defeat and Mexico were only able to muster up ONE shot. Beautiful!

I can't believe you find this surprising, it's mexico's C squad. forlan and his crew came full force, what else did you expect?

Argentina looks a ton better w/ El Kun and Higuain...but of course it's Costa Rica's B team

It's going to be weird going from watching mexico's sub-17 win the world cup to watching mexico's third string shit team lose tonight in south america.

They could probably put in the sub-17 team and put up a better fight. Oh well, more free time for me I guess.

Mexico U-17 World Cup Champs! First time a host nation takes it! (U-17)

[Dozyproductions]
