Mexico is going to have to put some respect on the name Estados Unidos. Literally and figuratively above them.
We had a really nice run in the 2000s against them, but that was very different. We knew how to frustrate them, sit back, and capitalize on the few chances we got. Now, we take it to them. Controlling the ball, putting them on the back foot. We have more talent, for the first time, and even Berhalter can't screw this up.
It's worse than that. I don't know if Mexico has some young guys waiting in the wings, but USA is so stacked for the foreseeable future we may as well be in Western Europe.
