MNT vs. Mexico: Behind the Scenes - Feb. 11, 2009

[dirtybunny987]

Mexico is so good because the US is good.

The US is good because Mexico is good.

Both teams are good competition for each other because they

pussh the team to forward always and thats how they improve

[israelb077]

Even thought it is a big game for both team. . . I have never seen the Mexican players celebrate a win that much haha.

[dirtybunny987]

@israelb077 I have.



[SmashCrashTrash]

hahahaha pause at 7:35! I'd do that too XD

[iProSkillzz]

Ok first of all why doesn't the USA permanently have their home games here at Crew Stadium. They have a large fan base here and even though its not a big stadium. When we played Honduras at Soldier Field there were many "Catracho" fans there. We played El Salvador in Rio Tinto Stadium and there were many Salvadorian fans there. I know the sport needs to grow in America but seriously, we need our permanent home base! I know RFK Stadium is also a good place but seriously the place is falling apart

[trojanmorvenfighton]

Wow, Oguchi sounds exactly like a CNN reporter.

[simpatico66ful]

Mexico :-(

[simpatico66ful]

Good mexico! :-)

[19ars92]

Mexicans aré just scared that us.soccer is growing faster and to loss in the only sport where they can beat the us... if the us becomes better than mex. In football soccer mexico got nothing but baseball and women

[408FPR]

@19ars92 well for right now in this moment that is not going to happen. Mexico is not like how they were before. There team is full of energetic youth with a lot of passion, they beat USA 4-2, and they have bright future ahead.

[162themario]

can wait to play with usa

[162themario]

cant wait to play with the usa in the future and i'm mexican american going to win the world cup for usa

[isaias630]

I'm Mexican but was born here and raised here my whole life. This game was awesome both played very well and are both champs in my eyes. However I'm a USA fan!!! but when it comes to the FIFA world cup I go for both teams. ;)

[amacma]

4 GOLD CUPS IN USA VENUE 10 TIMES AT HOME WHATS GREAT ABOUT THIS? DON'T THE AMERICANS LIKE # AND STADISTICS? FMF SOLD THE MEXICAN TEAM SINCE 1999 AT THIS MARKETIG FIRM IN THE USA. NOW IN 2011 CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW MUCH THIS GREAT USA TEAM IS WORTH? AT THE END TERE HAS BEEN 2 GAMES IN USA AND 2 GAMES IN MEXICO THAT REALLY COUNT FOR SOMETHING. WC QUALIFIERS!!. THIS "GOLD CUP "IS AN USA INVENTION WHERE THEY EVEN IF THEY LOOSE WILL BE IN FOR THE NEXT ONE.WOAO WHAT A PRIDE!!

[alexxvall1]

Hahaha! All these Mexican'ts with 100 excuses, they'll never accept a loss. I'm Hispanic and I watched and followed sport news for this game almost every minute. By then, the best team Mexico could take was this team. Mexico prepares like if they're going to war against the USA and are ery careful when picking the starting 11. So don't come with your "B" team excuse everytime your guys lose, you're nothing bu sad losers at the end.

[ChrisPartida]

@alexxvall1 I am 100% Mexican and born in Michoacan. My parents love Team Mexico. I was raised in America my whole life. Just to let you know where I'm coming from. USA is way better than Mexico in soccer my friend. US has more players in Europe by far, Aguirre was about to get fired because you guys lost to El Salvador in a qualifier so thats why he brought all the big guns in the Gold Cup while we were giving our young guys a shot. Your only quality win against us was @ the Azteca. Thats it!

[RIGSVIIVII]

@ChrisPartida See, ppl a Mexican-American said the only quality win was in Aztec...That GC game was a bogus fluke!!!

[amacma]

4 gold cups: in 10 times usa venue...go champs!! hahaha. you guys r my heroes!!

[vivelavidarocka]

@sergio40195 You are an idiot. It wasn't your b squad back then. WTF are you talking about.

[RossT551]

why dont the usa just have a home stadium? how come the always change?

[Metallicathrashsam]

@RossT551 well its not like other countries were the capital or the most advanced city in the country is the home stadium, cuz there are a lot of developed cities in the USA so they play in different cities, and its fair too cuz if they would play in DC all the time what about the fans in columbuc, chicago, LA, or NEw YorK?

[keithstone43]

@RossT551 I agree

[chitybam94]

mexico lost because ochoa wasnt in goal

[TheTheEric123]

@chitybam94 doubt it

[JWEEZYDABEEZY]

@chitybam94 so did mexico not win the world cup because ochoa wasnt in goal?

[Mikeychi]

Mexico's home foretress is beast...

The U.S. should Play all their home games at 1 stadium in the Norhtern U.S. to take advantage of the cold/rain.

[libertysoccer25]

That was really a great experience for me. I will never forget this match or the view I had of it from 10 rows up behind the first goal

[Cuauhtli47]

looks like the U.S only got into futbol just to beat Mexico thats all they live for cause agianst the world they get dominated. Mexico looks like they dont even try when they play the U.S cause win or lose they still gonna get payed fat checks

[RightWinger16]

@Cuauhtli47 "Against the world they get dominated" ...2-0 Spain?

[Bhouncer]

i thought this rivalry dated back to the mexican american war in the 1800's?

btw a big much respect to the mexicans. st patricos battalion =)

[agriculturaltrading]

@Bhouncer ....maybe...but it wouldn't make sense...around that time, Texas delcared independ, and there were three independ parts of mexico; Rep of Rio Grande, Rep of Yucatan, and Repulic of Texas...the french owned what we know as mexico until about 1910, when the second mex revolution happened and that maximillian dude was killed...most mexicans that i know don't know their history...of course, this is not EVERY mexican

[agriculturaltrading]

when is marquez gonna' retire?....he's such a dirty player....i'll never forget WC 2002 where he head-butt and cleated Cobi Jones...what a dirt-bag

[pezzarozi]

usa usa all the way

[joaquination14]

hehehe i want to see their aftermath about their two defeats in a row this year

[ricekrispyplayer]

i cant wait till 2morow

[erickrolo]

Where is hedjuk? Bradley jr. was very lucky

[rodrigoC08]

AUG 12 2009

MEX 3-1 USa

[aniis2003]

nice prediction! very close bro!

[ejdanis]

5 - 0 !!

[rebble187]

lol.

[rebble187]

I hope Mexico brings in their elite players this time. Not some "test" unproven players. Ochoa as goalie. Marquez should be back from injury. Implement Dos Santos and Carlos Vela up front with Salcedo opening holes. Torrado should sit. No slow old school Mexico. Things are changing. use youth and veteran mentality to win. USA will bring their A game.This game should be exciting. It will be broadcasted in English by Telemundo. Good luck!

[chagoguerra]

As Mexican I'm really glad US is getting a lot better...though tonight Mexico was the best by 5-0...

As it was US b Team it was also Mexico's B Team, all the young players, the real test comes Aug 12

[JulioV48]

@chagoguerra I saw Giovanni, Blanco, Franco, Ochoa.... USA didn't even have Donovan, Dempsey, Altidore, Beasley, Davies, Howard, or Bradley. That was USA's C or D team, aka, the 21+ Subdivision.

[hehelerika1]

MExico 5- usa 0 Woooo

VIva MExico

[H1ckz2K]

B TEAM!!

[mathewheffley121]

ha its more like the c team actually

[milokeeper805]

@H1ckz2K B team for who?

[lilwonder55]

MEXICO!!!!!!

[sss5beastyboy]

but today MEXICO BEAT USA 5-0 HAHAHA WOOT WOOT ARRIBA MEXICO THE  WINNERS OF THE GOLD CUP

[socc3rprinc3z12]

hells yeah mexico is the bomb !!!!!!!

[paladinpsy]

Mexico 5 usa 0 LOL final golden cup LOL

[julioclau]

im mexican living here in mexico and i respect this E.U.A. team but this 12 of agaust will be other the history.. haha

[grimreape66]

USA proved themselves that they are better by playing and losing to world class countries.... Mexico has only been playing..... EHEM ISLANDS...... wow Mexico is good

[bloasupreme]

no disrespect, but USA has more 2 prove than mexico does. WE CAN beat world class teams like brazil, we have countless times. We did it in 1999, against brazil 4-3, and WON the CONFEDERATIONS CUP, something the untied states has not. U want to see world class team? look at the 2005 confederations cup mexican team, we beat brazil 1-0, lost to germany(world class team) 4-3, lost argentina(world class team) in penalties after a 1-1 tie. look, the USA is playing way better football at the MOMENT.

[MrSandwhich217]

who cares, ur still sitting in ur couch just watchin the game, so sit back and enjoy

[ochoaesputo8]

5-0

[jessebrito11]

5-0 the new generation of mexican soccer is hear. :)

[JJCNYC87]

USA is the New Number 3 of the Americas!!!!

After Brazil and Argentina .......

I'm Glad USA is becoming a WOrld Class team..... we need to keep supporting our USA team!!

We have the best athletes in the world and have won every major title world wide.... but the most important which is the World Cup!!!

1 day we will win it and it wont be by surprise!!

[latuea]

You haven't won any major Rugby or Cricket comps :P

But I agree, the US is looking good at the moment. I think the next world cup is still a little too early for them to win it. But I do think they can get to the quarter finals at least. I quite like the US football team. Honest hard working guys who don't have over grown egos a la Cristiano Ronaldo.

Get the US in the game and football (soccer) is going to be even bigger than it already is.

[paladinpsy]

wrong..... mexico 5 usa 0 final cup golden Mexico is the Number 3 of the Americas!!!!

[rebble187]

don't forget the Confederations Cup

[hornyforclues]

wow ok let me get this straight usa b team vs mexico a+ team wow wait till august usa 10 - 0 mexico

[420avila420]

ok thats true but think of this costa rica 3 - 1 USA

then we beat costa rica both in the eliminatorials and the copa oro which both had there A+++ team

[jorge90723]

hahahahhahahahhahahahahahhahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha you are hilarious Mexico beat united states once again.  Mexico 2-1 usa

[skalavera1983]

so who end up winning? i think MEXICO right ??

[NITESHADOWshouske]

that's what i want to see in the crowd during a home game for the usa, 90% USA FANS!!!!!!!!

[hardrockerofsoccer]

USA beating mexico 2-0 isn't just a scorline, Its a way of life!

[MexicoSoccer1719]

USA is stronger and MEXICO is more talented than usa

[AlansTips]

If you cant defeat guatemala, you are not talented... Usa has way more talent

[begley9]

haha i love the crowd chanting "dos a cero" haha funny

[feesww]

@begley9 Mexico:5

Usa:0

hahaha funny

[Mexecutioner100]

8/12/09 marks the fall of azteca

[fucklevaz1989]

@Mexecutioner100 lol....u got jokes..

[MadridistaFG7]

@Mexecutioner100 6/25/11 marks the fall of the USA

[lun7200]

@Mexecutioner100 Fall of what? Last time I checked Mexico football was on the rise and U.S football was running around like headless chickens blaming their coaching staff. STFU!

[raul003]

@Mexecutioner100 why dont you worry about winning ONE game in the azteca 1st lol

[politinaco]

Azteca Stadium .. 12 / 08 / 09

[Matarazzi]

where is Hedjuk in the confederations cup?!

[GoUSAWorldCup]

He's injured, supposedly. But he's getting old. I prefer Spector and Bornstein in the back. Their young and have tons of energy and potential.

[juliameme]

injuries

[hardrockerofsoccer]

injured

[USArsnl]

I wonder who the lucky person who got the Hejduk jersey was. Oh wait, that was me.

[Triumphit1]

I always root for Mexico but when they play the United States I gotta go for my United States baby :) lol

[3TiGr3]

dont know wich team of those is better, cuz mexico hasnt beaten usa in usa lately but usa will NEVER beat da mexican team in Mexico city

[chivas12345678901011]

this year us is going to win cuz mexico has a sucky team now. if they had a better team they will beat the us. we just have to see mexico's line up.

[mike19ish]

USA's better end of discussion

[notegustariasermia]

frankie hejduk is cool man true warrior..him and cobi jones bring cobi back

[GoUSAWorldCup]

Hedjuk is awesome. I do miss Lewis though. That man was awesome. I do think Lewis was more accurate at putting the ball where it needs to be. But Hedjuk is good, don't get me wrong.

[scoccerislife10]

nice comment usa world cup. guy..viva le usa

[alucard76115]

why wasnt ochoa the keeper for mexico in this game bad call on mexicos part.

[GoUSAWorldCup]

Mexico needs to accept that this isn't the 90's anymore. The U.S. has surpassed them in soccer talent and technique. My respects to the Mexican team, but their glory days are over. Sorry.

[Patrovsky1989]

Respect to the U.S. MNT, but yea, USA has dominated Mexico. O.K. But USA is Big with the little teams and little with the big teams. Mexico is better World International. USA is just big in the Concacaf and with Low-class teams. I do respect USA MNT, but what i am saying is true. Lets see how they do with Bigger opponents in the FIFA Confederations Cup Against Italy, and Brazil.

[feyzu66]

with adu..they will do good...remember the world cup 2002...they were cheated for a place in the semifinals...

[FinalQUEST990]

So true. They are good no doubt but our team has gotten very skilled.

[NITESHADOWshouske]

do they have usa tryouts?

[manutdr8]

no!!!!!!!!!!!!!

U HAVE TO BE PRO!!!!!!!!!

[timesarekrazy]

great coverage!

[haloMaiiFranchise]

the reason we didnt do well in 06 cuz we relied on the head too much, we need to improve on the long distance strikes more in order to do well

[THenry1412]

Mexico just lost to Hoduras...lol

[XiLoveyouMeghanX]

but USA beat Honduras !! lol

[PincheRonMexico]

I love Hejduk. He hustles on every ball throughout the entire game. Great spirit.

[uperea86]

no matter what they say mexico will aways be the team to beat , in concacaf really . mexico has prestige 3rd in america next to brazil and argentina thats how it is really , no offence

[DarkLordGreg88]

until Mexico wins a World Cup, like Argentina and Brazil...and Uruguay, they are still #2 to the US especially since the US did get 3rd place in a Wrold Cup while the most Mexico has done is make it to the Quarter finals and that was when the WC was in Mexico.

[aeonbollig666]

umm... look at the standings...

[chicanooldscool]

you cant compare mexico with brazil or argentina both those teams have won a world cup mexico has never even made it to semi finals ..keep dreaming mexico

[RIGSVIIVII]

What good is it to be 3rd if get beat by the US...

[dougconejo]

GO USA!

[ixxxdeathbatxxxi]

big deal...USA always qualifies great but choke HARD in the group stage of the WC

2002 or 2006 they ended up dead last of the WC but went in 1 out of the concacaf division

[tictacjuggalo]

i could not of worded it better.

[JukobiProductions]

in 06 they had a lot of pressure being ranked 4th in the world.

[allpeeps4me]

i didnt realize they were ranked so high in 06'

[Tarateesh]

lmao were they ranked 4th?

[GoUSAWorldCup]

I agree. The FIFA ranking system is out of whack. If you want a real accurate system of rankings, check out the ELO ratings.

[cyb0027]

they got into the quarterfinals of the 2002 world cup

[oldfrend]

absolute lie. USA did not finish last in either 02 or 06. in fact went to the quarterfinals in 02, beating mexico 2-0 on the way.

[askfskpsk]

It doesn't seem like a football game

still good tho

[hector424]

It is a football game. soccer is just an acient form of football from the English.

American football is evolved from rugby and soccer. that's why American football is football, rugby is football and soccer is football.

[JahobesDaGreatest]

lol thats interesting...

what did it "seem" like a handball game?

stupid stupid comment...

[dssk83]

Yeah I agree

[hydraters]

USA 1 MEXICO NOTHING!

[chewystein]

Beasley is definitely the best player on the team

[xfeatherfootx]

USA USA USA

[charlesalee]

Awesome vid. So proud of the MNT! Go Team. Aloha to go Brian Ching from Hawaii!!!

[donovanlover]

finally , why has it taken so long for this to come out, o well i guess its a good thing as it can hold us over till the next game :)

[mrios328]

did frankie write on the whiteboard with a sharpie?

[scarxaat]

fantastic video. us soccer has been doing a good job with these features

dos a cero

[juleso2006]

best vid on youtube

[ussoccer26]

God bless frankie.

[KforKANSAS]

damn

[ahelms10]

I could watch this video every day for the rest of my life and not get tired of it.

[uptheirons106]

We looked amazing except for Dempsey. Looked like he learned a few new tricks about how to fall down a lot over in England... Pfft. He played like a wimp all night. Taking notes from Cristiano I guess. :/

Other than that, well deserved victory! Would have liked a goal from Kljestan or more time from JOZY but all in all a great first match for the table. :D

[CalicoMonkey]

Hell yes!

[issakita12]

i wish Donovan has scored against that arrogant idiot Sanchez...

[patjshaz]

i love frankie

[kcdub27]

Awesome highlights. Great ground-level view of the action.

[Tito74]

I've been waiting for this vid to come out since the game ended. Thanks.

[jt43x]

awesome duddes

[BlacknBlueKC]

dos a zero otra vez!

[DarkLordGreg88]

USA is the #1 team of CONCACAF no matter what Mexico says, Mexico was the best now they have to prove themselves if they want to reclaim the #1 spot. And that means winning important matches not beating some small island and celebrating like you won the world cup or winning an under 17 championship and claiming it to be equal to the world cup, it means beating the US in the US or neutral field and winning the Gold Cup a few times in a row.

[SVRKing23]

What does MNT stand for?

[angelo1405]

to world: The Yanks are coming !!!!!

[bouknight91]

sweet video

[RyetheBred]

awesome.

[gcuellar82]

Dos a cero clap clap clap clap clap clap!!!!!

[vtboy120]

great game, I had never heard of Bradley, it's obvious now that he is an excellent player,

South Africa 2010 HEAR WE COME!!!!

[gcuellar82]

Great video! Great fans (Sam's Army), great websiite ussoccerDOTcom, great team USMNT!!!

[Javiersfl1]

GO!! U.S.A #1

[josuedinho98]

USA is Mexico's kryptonite
