Sports Thread #2 for 8/12/09: Soccer Thread #2- USA vs Mexico (Sabah the Hero, El Tres Win!!)
Only Bob Bradley would do an asinine thing and start Brian Ching over Jozy Altidore
Lineups:
Ching----------Davies-----------------
Donovan----------------------------------Dempsey
-----------------Bradley-----Clark------------------------
Bocanegra-----Onyewu-----DeMerit-----Cherundolo
-------------------------Howard--------------------------
MEXICO
-----------------Franco---------Blanco--------------------
Guardado---------------------------------------Dos Santos
------------------Torrado------Castro---------------------
Juarez---------Magallon-------Salcido----------Osorio
--------------------------Ochoa------------------------------
3' Guardado with a fine half chance, Howard the save
CHARLIE DAVIES scores!!!!! 1-0 to the US as Donovan supplies a great pass to Davies. Wonderful times indeed, and Marquez is certainly missed.
But Castro's first international goal has even the score for Mexico. A great strike it was indeed by him, but terrible defending from Bocanagra, giving him the space to shoot and shot.
1-1 at halftime
Second half, match live

Maintaing possess so far again is Mexico, but still, nothing threatening yet.
55' minute, still 1-1. Vela may come in for Blanco, but will Altidore come in for Ching? When?
56' minute- mexico with a semi-dangerous chance, and Vela is now in for Blanco. Vela was the difference maker in the Gold Cup final, can he make the difference here?
59' Howard stones Dos Santos. corner for Mexico. And the US with the ball back.
66'Mexico and US trying to threaten each other, and Michael Bradley has been no where to be found.
72' minute now....Free kick now
77' minute Now Altidore is in for Davies, who was crapping.
79' minue Miguel Sabah for Gio Franco. Corner kick lands in Howards hands after a light header.
2-1......Sabah!!!!! Mexico up 2-1!!!!
Stoppage time.....Bradley got outcoached again.
There it is, Mexico with a massive, MASSIVE 2-1 win over the United States. it drops the US to 0-13-1 in Azteca, but even more important however is the fact that Mexico now has 9 points and have leapfrogged Honduras into 3rd place in Concacaf Qualifying.
