World Cup Qualifier: Mexico 2 U.S.A.1

The U.S. lost their World Cup Qualifier today against Mexico at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico.
The sad fact is, the U.S. looked like they were content to walk away with a tie, but El Tri would only take a win. Anything less would have been a loss in their eyes.
On Mexican soil, the U.S. team is now 0-23-1. Regardless of what anyone says, history always plays a part in these games.
After the recent 5-0 loss for the CONCACAF Gold Cup final, the U.S. seemed like they were ready to come back with vengeance. Sadly, they never seemed to get any sort of flow going.
After Charlie Davies early goal to put the U.S. in the lead, they seemed content to lay back. Two Mexican goals later and the U.S. were beat.
Luckily they are still in second place in their group and will most likely make it to the World Cup.
Hopefully if they meet up with Mexico in South Africa, they can get back the confidence they are obviously missing right now.
