Mexico can't get over the hump

I figured playing in Phoenix, a place USA would never play Mexico in a qualifying match, was all the advantage that Mexico needed. The Mexican side seemed to have a fuller collection of their stars as opposed to the Americans who had to leave Onyewu and Beasley, for example, back in Europe. The commentators on the game mentioned a few times that the Mexican season started a coupla weeks ago whereas the American season doesn't start for another month or so and it looked it! The Mexicans looked fit and the Americans for the most part didn't play that great. They made more of their opportunities than the Mexicans did and that was the difference. Jimmy Conrad was the man of the match.

USA 2 -- 0 Mexico
