I'm sure the internet is on fire with hand wringing and screeds about Bradley and whatnot. The simple fact of the matter is that Mexico's new generation of players are a hell of a lot better than the guys who came before them, especially in the attacking department. They are a class above anyone USA can put on the field at this time and no amount of tantrum throwing or foreign coach hiring is going to change that. Mexico looks ready to rise above the mediocre level of competition in CONCACAF and compete with the big boys- USA will not beat them again for a long long time.

I agree. Mexico is much better. BUT ... U.S. defense has always stunk... typically relying on better teams having a bad day. What's with the defense always putting the ball back in play for the opposition?
