Teams seem evenly matched but our keeper is special.

(4,272 posts)Too bad the final wasn't vs Mexico, the huge rivalry!
US should win this one by 2 goals.

(269,498 posts)but that free kick in the 88th minute was enough for the win.
You don't need a wall grudge match.

(4,272 posts)What?? I don't know how closely you follow soccer/football.....
This would not be a "wall grudge match". That's almost insulting to this rivalry. As heated as this SPORTING rivalry is, both the US and Mexico players have a lot of respect for each other on the field and off and would not bring politics onto the field.
You think the politics is about the players?
OK then.
