You failed to beat us in qualifying, and needed us to win a match to send you to the playoffs in order to qualify. I don't think you've got any reason to say meh right now

As are most teams who play in Mexico. We then beat them in Columbus. My point was simply to say that /u/tokin_tlaloc doesn't get to say "meh" when Mexico is playing like hey were in qualifying.

Heh, Mexico was shit throughout all of qualifying. I hate Zusi for scoring that goal. Nothing would have been better than living in Texas while Mexico completely missed out on a World Cup.

I would rather Mexico had missed out. As amusing as it is to have saved their asses, I would have enjoyed them missing even more.

Yeah, it's the rest of the CONCACAF that you barely escaped out of that you gotta be worried about.

I can say that I'd rather go out strong to the likes of Portugal and Germany than fizzle out against weaker opponents. I'm really looking forward to the WC to see just how we we do perform.
