We Shall See

Even with one of the worst American teams fielded in years, 5-0 against Mexico was an unfortunate, embarrassing result. But then again, it's only the Gold Cup, so it only matters insofar as it does or does not affect the result on August 12. I see two possibilities: Vela, Ochoa, and (especially) Dos Santos are now spilling over with confidence, having led Mexico to a win on US soil for the first time in a decade. Or, (hopefully), such an embarrassing defeat will be the equivalent beating up a bully's little brother. Watch out for the backlash!
