"Doesn't beating your near neighbours Mexico mean anything? "

if *I* beat Mexico, *I* might feel good....but some guys I don't know beat a bunch of Mexican players I don't know....once....This does NOT 'increase my national pride' or anything...If the USA wins more, I will be pleased, but I will not go out and celebrate and claim it as some personal triumph, like you seem to be advocating, Mr Redeye...

IT IS ONLY A GAME!!!!...honest!
