Without kicking a ball Thursday night thanks to the chaotic Mexico-Panama game.
Check out the "action" here including the stupidity of Mexican Coach Javier Aguirre at the end
of the highlights:
Canada also went through as did Guadeloupe, which beat Nicaragua 2-0 in the first game of the
night.
Javier Aguirre almost never singles out players for praise. But he broke that rule when El Tri
returned home yesterday. He called Giovani Dos Santos and Carlos Vela the foundation of Mexico's
future footballing aspirations.
"For their age, their time, for the situation they found themselves in, they performed
brilliantly at such a young age.
Here it is. The match every one wanted. Another chapter in the historiography of the fiercest
rivalry in the Concacaf region.
It has sharpened so much because of the US domination of Mexico in recent years. So there are
stakes a plenty for both teams. But at this stage, a Gold Cup win means much more to El Tri than it
means to the US.
