And so, that went about as expected (US-MEX)

You mean, this isn't the US team that was going to go down to Azteca and defeat the mightly Mexicans?

They hadn't suddenly flipped a switch from the Confederations Cup and were hyped to do what no other US team had done before?

Nope.

The US scored first on a nice goal by Charlie Davies, then held the lead for all of 10 minutes, and finally gave in for good in the final 10, as Mexico won the CONCACAF World Cup 2010 qualifier between the nations, 2-1.
