Agree with this. The last goal was absolutely embarrassing. If you're going to wander 10 yards out of goal you'd better make damn sure you can get the ball when you do it.

Normally I would agree about your 'keeper that comes out' statement...in this case, I think Howard has lost confindence in his defence, which makes keepers do crazy things.

I always take a ton of crap from some of you but it's cool, I never really mind losing to Mexico. I actually pull for them during international play and enjoy their style, along with Brazil. It doesn't sit well with some but it's how I roll.

They simply play "pretty" and I appreciate that style.

Viva Mexico Futbol.

I can't go with Mexico's style of play....yes on the OLD Brazilian style, not what we have seen in recent years.

Mexico is flat out the better team right now. Their FIFA ranking has them at 28 which is a joke. New rankings tomorrow.

Somebody want to clarify whats up with Ronaldinho these days? Is he even apart of the National team anymore? Seems like he was a very brief flash in the pan but I admired the hell outta that guy.

Playing for Flamengo in Brazil. career is basically over in terms of significance. IMO, those 3-4 years where he was unstoppable, he was the greatest player I had ever seen until little Leo the past few years.

The Yoga Bonito campaign was a huge push for him, but basically, he's fallen off the earth. I agree. He was the best I've seen, sans Messi.

since we are talking about best players ever... I would like to give an honorable mention to Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry. Might as well get a little Arsenal in there.

Apparently, C. Ronaldo was headed to Man. City if Mourinho went to Chelsea. SIAP.

Yeah, he pretty much said he is going to at some point because I doubt anybody else would fork out the $$, and he said he hates London so one of the Manchester clubs will be the only destination.

Makes sense then. How do you feel about Clichy to City?

I feel like it was only a matter of time.. He was feeling the pressure from Gibbs and Traore seems promising, but overall a lack of trophies will send anybody away. I am excited about the young players coming up so I'm not too sad. How do you feel about the recent transfers?

Arsenal will be fine without him.

I like the recent acquisitions of Young and Da Gea (sp?), although I admit I do not know much about Da Gea. I am hoping we can still land Sneijder, but won't be heartbroken if we do not.

I will be interested to see where Carlos Tevez ends up. He has expressed his desire to leave Man. City, I believe. Any chance he lands in London?

I believe De Gea will be good but not great at this point in his career. He will grow into the new Spain #1 though, IMO. As far as Sneijder, I think they will secure his signature given inter just signed Ricky Alvarez as his replacement (most likely).

Oh, and Tevez packed up his house and already moved out of Manchester. Hahah He told them that he will not come back and they are pretty pissed about it saying they won't be held at ransom. Again, I see Inter jumping on this one but AC or Real Madrid could be potential landing spots as well. Also, if he doesn't get what he wants he might just retire... He would be the guy that would.

maybe one day..

Allegedly, Juan Mata is coming through the doors at Arsenal as well. Also, the Cesc drama continues as Barca seem like they will not pay his valuation. Looks like he will remain a Gunner.

Tevez did them like that? Ha that's great stuff. Thought they were supposed to be making big moves this summer.

They are shooting for a triple swoop of Nasri, Aguero, and Eto'o. I think their problem this summer is aiming a bit too high. Not everyone just wants a lot of money..

Rest easy UTD fans. Sneijder should be coming through the door soon to seal up your midfield.
