PKs have never really bothered me. Both teams are absolutely taxed at the end of a match like that.

I agree, but they should start doing PKs like the did in the NASL and the early days of the MLS. Hockey style.

They definitely are taxed, i just really don't like it.

It would be cool to see PK's in the form of corner kicks though - I know that isn't possible.

I said before in the thread that they were simply too easy. All of the advantage lies with the kicker, none with the goalie. At least in the early MLS, there was equal chance and it wasn't shooting fish in a barrel.

Blame Mexico! Blame Mexico! Everything's gone wrong since Mexico came along. Blame Mexico, Shame on Mexico!

They're not even a real country anyway.

If Holland fricks up or Mexico wins everything, I'm done with soccer.

It's like when the Gators lose while I was living in Georgia.

Can they seriously not sing their song in sync? It's a pretty nice anthem, but no one can keep a cadence.

I don't really have the hate for Mexico that some have. Just want to see a good game.

My sentimental favorite is Greece since I used to live there.

It was South Korea for me (I was born there, 121st Evac), but unfortunately the Red Devils showed up poorly. They're still evolving.

And I really don't have an intense hatred for Mexico, just its soccer culture.

I like its women. :)

Hell yeah

That one they showed during the Mexican anthem was rather distracting.

The Neds are like my antithesis nation, so I'm definitely going for Mexico. Plus it would be a huge upset
