Om Mi- why do you and others assume because I am American, I prefer MLS to the FMF. I don’t- I watch as much FMF league action as I can.

Now regarding the Ticos, if they can prove to me and everyone else that they can be competitive outside of Saprissa, I’ll give them credit. They actually looked better in this tournament without Centano after his injury. But they are reliant on turf, and Mexico will normally beat them outside of San Jose, save that one famous game at Azteca in 2001!

Honduras has the best top shelf players in this region: Suazo, Palacios, Guevara, Rambo, Figeroua. If you were simply comparing staring XI’s, they are better than Mexico, better than the USA and much much better than Costa Rica. Alas, football is not determined on paper (yes I say football and not futbol, sorry) and political instability, Rueda’s tactics and personality clashes have held Honduras back. Even Bora couldn’t succeed with them and he’s done well with the other 3 top dogs in CONCACAF.

Mister Krishneiyer,
As a journalist, you are too biased. You completely forget Costa Rica, the second best team of this tournament, and its couch showed to be better than Bradley and Aguirre. FMF has a better level than MLS. Football is not only about tactics and organization, those are just the map o the game. What matters is the game itself and its performers. And in this area, MLS is far from being competitive to FMF, only compared to the South American leages. Those Central American leagues you despise, with very traditional clubs that deserve respect, in my opinion have more to offer than MLS, a very physical league but soulless. The day your “soccer” understands that this is not just a sport, but a cultural manifestation of a community, something that rest of the word know, that they I might respect your poor league. I see some improvements in this regard, Chicago Fire, and it is all thanks to our old warrior Cuauhtémoc. Being the US a nation of immigrants like yourself, you should be aware persons, not only players, like Sinha or Gille, opted to play for the country were they were giving opportunities to develop. Uruguay wanted Nery, he chosed Mexico. And Gio is one hundred percent Mexican, as Adu and the two gringos Castillo and Rorres are one hundred percent Americans, that is why they both are nikcnamed “gringos” in Mexico, a cheerful word we use for US inhabitants (America is not a country is a continent) when we want to be nice to them, like catrachos for Hondurans or chapinos for Guatemalans, or “mexas” for ourselves. And for those racist implying Mexicans have no class for the mere condition of being Mexicans, here is my class: may God bless your ignorance. No US player can be compared to the likes of Márquez, Gio, Guardado and Vela. El Tri is one of the most followed teams in the entire word (just remember Germany). Every single team in CONCACAF thins of playing against us as a classic, which is a honor. Chivas, Pumas, America, Toluca, Tigres, Cruz Azul, just to mention a few, are symbols of passion among millions. Sir, you don’t know shit about Mexican Football.

Hi, I’m mexican but I have to say “C Webb” is right (21), we mexicans can´t take a loss like you guys do. I feel embaressed when good players like Marquez or Oswaldo forget about fair play. Anyway, I was happy for the 0-5 win, but the real deal is on the 12th. I hope The U.S. and México make it to South Africa without any problem…

Thanks LI Matt.

Based on Football Tactician’s racial stereotypes, Gio Dos Santos should be nowhere near the Mexican team and we know he isn’t nearly good enough to play for Brazil so he’d have no international career. Same for Nery Castillo who is not good enough to play Uruguay and thus choose Mexico. Vuoso? Argentine.

And besides I was born in the US!

Kartik isn’t a gringo, he’s Indian.

No, Kartik is an American of Indian descent. In all the time I’ve read this site, I’ve never seen him mention cricket once.

BTW, does Guille Franco count as a Mexican now?
