World Cup qualifying: USA-Mexico report card

So many of the United States' players played so poorly, it's somewhat amazing the U.S. was less than 10 minutes away from leaving Azteca with a draw.

But, predictably, the U.S. ran out of gas (altitude matters) to lose the Concacaf World Cup qualifier, 2-1, against Mexico. A draw would have been a fantastic result and would have kept Mexico's World Cup chances in serious jeopardy.
