I ultimately don’t really care, but I hope if/when the US goes out, they don’t go out like Ecuador did. That got dirty

Their passing has been crisp and they've been very solid defensively. They haven't been a typical El Tri team that slow plays the second half when they get a lead, so that's been refreshing.
They haven't been challenged too much yet, though. If they end up facing England in Mexico City, that environment will be nuts. England's size and offense will be on display. But if Mexico plays with swagger, their offense should challenge England, too. (Provided England doesn't **** the bed before they get there of course)
Playing at home has been huge for Mexico. I hope their fans will turn on them if they play super conservative. It makes me happy.
