Same as it ever was

World Cup Qualifier between US and Mexico? Check.
Played in Columbus, Ohio? Check.
Mexican players playing like punks? Check.
Mexico once again losing 2-0? Big ol' check.

Michael Bradley knocked in a rebound during a corner kick scrum, then scored the second goal after a break-away lead by Landon Donovan. Really the Mexican goalkeeper should have saved it to keep it to a 1-0 margin, but that's the way things go when Mexico plays the US.

It's kind of like when the Patriots had the Colts' number for so many years during the past decade. The Americans are totally in the heads of all the Mexican players, coaches and fans.

I should be more excited, but I fully expected the US to win. It's actually getting to the point where beating Mexico isn't such a big deal anymore. 10 years ago, no soccer fan would have believed we'd get to that pont.
