exactly....that was the point. Stevie Pienaar was on that pitch though...only one game....if he plays like that for another 2 games, I'm sure he'll stay with us
 
Not sure about him yet. I just don't think he's right for the prem. Needs more exp with physical play. I think his finishing could be alot better too. If Dos Santos is Mexico's best player then they have their work cut out for them advancing.

BTW: should passing the ball around nicely with an utterly putrid finish be known as a Mexico?
 

I definitely think they'd edge USA out if the game took place.

Better footballing side, they'd have you chasing shadows.

Mexico look better than USA from what I've seen.

Finally something I can disagree with you. :lol:
Mexico is nice to watch, but combination of horrible goalkeeper, higher defensive line mixed with slow defenders, and ability waste any chance they will create, makes me think otherwise.
I also think that it was the best game of Mexico at this WC - they were playing so many friendles, that I can see their form fropping having to play intense games every few days.

Well I'll have one last look a USA but I think Mexico would definitely edge it. USA aren't too good at the back either and there ability in possession and use of the ball isn't close to Mexico.

Let's not fool ourselves, the US as a whole are mighty [Poor language removed]. The defense is passable but the MF and strikers exclusive of Dempsey and Donovan are less than world class. The US should get out of the group stage only because they're grouped with Algeria and Slovenia. Don't expect anything impressive out of the US.

Mexico is a better footballing side - agreed. Blows the US away in technical skill.

The Tottenham lad is looking dangerous for Mexico down the right-hand side. He's behind Lennon and Bentley in the pecking order at Spurs. They loaned him out to Ipswich last season where he scored 4 goals in 8 appearances. He also went to Galatasaray with a view to a permanent move. He's only 21. He was highly-rated at Barcelona before making the move to North London.

Maybe an option on a cut-price deal or as a loan signing to offer us pace and guile down the right?

Yeah just watched him against South Africa now and he does look pretty good. Think Moyes could bring the best out of him.

I'm sorry, but it's a naive hope - Don't think Moyes enjoyed working with Jo or Van der Meyde, and dos Santos has a potential to beat both of them easily in "Biggest headcase" category. I'm all about taking a risks in our situation, but would prefer to take it in a situation, when player sometimes has a good weeks and can produce - like Ben Arfa. Dos Santos is just poor version of him.
