I plan on seeing some of you at the Cock 'n Bull tonight.  What other game is on tonight? Surely you can't mean the UNC-Duke basketball clash -- that contest goes into the bucket of "who cares" for me!

If I had a place like the C'nB near me, where I could watch the match with that kind of atmosphere....it's a no-brainer.
My buddy's son at USC watched an EPL match in there this weekend and he said it was incredible!

Solid crowd at the Cn'B. Lots of young familiar faces from Stone stadium.
I missed the replay, but apparently Dempsey was offsides when he initially received the ball.
Very intriguing match. Moor and Corrales finishing out the full 90 continues to baffle me. Donovan was more or less a no-show (aside from a solid 15min). Feilhaber or Adu should have come in much earlier for Bradley. Sometimes Bradley's tenacity works with the system of play, sometimes it just looks lazy.
from ussoccer.com:
U.S. defender DREW MOOR
On the set pieces:
“Obviously it is something that Mexico looks for, and they had plenty of them tonight. We were uncomfortable with that and should have dealt with it better. It was very loud, but we needed to not let our men get across us. We needed stronger bodies on their players and needed to win our battles individually. Mexico definitely came at us and I thought 2-2 was a fair result.”
Grab a mirror son! I'm sure he DID think it was a fair result, I wouldn't want to take responsibility for two goals in my second(and hopefully last!) CAP!
Yeesh..

he was off sides when the ball was first played out of the midfield. i think it was the correct call. it was an exciting game that could have gone either way. overall i think mexico had the better run of play. usa young squad looked impressive and it will be interesting to see who's in the line up for wc qualifying games.

I was baffled by the no goal on Dempsey as well... However I caught a glimpse of the replay and it "looked" like he may have been off when the initial pass was made..
Altidore's goal was top notch....what a cross!!!!

i agree 100% with Jack i dont think in any way Moor and Corrales should have played the full 90. I think that Moor should have been subbed out after the second goal he allowed. I also think that Corrales was just floating around in the left back position. You do have to give a little credit to Moor though for serving that nice ball to Altidore.
