I don't think he realizes we play at Azteca with more people and more horns.

Same #@#% that happened in 2006. The world is being robbed of a chance to see Didier Drogba play.

FIFA must hate Snoop Drog that much...

and FIFA stays being fanboys of Spain...

Altitude does not affect you immediately. Takes about a day or two to kick in so it's better to train 2 weeks in advance and get used to it orfly in right away and play the game.

FYI the Mex-France game is now 11:30 PT according to this.

Definitely like the Mexico group. Most worried about the SA game than France.

Yes it does... Actually, it affects you the MOST immediately... and the effects gradually decrease in intensity.

Flying in right away is a terrible plan (if it's avoidable).

It was avoidable but they still decided to train at sea level..
 
My fellow USMNT supporters..

at first when we found out we are going to be in englands group, initially thought we were going to be put in the group of death?
 
I was happy we didn't get Spain or Brazil.

I need to get a ticket for the opening match, I have to Rep El Tri.

Phase 3 starts in 3 hours.

Link? There is a reason teams fly into countries like Bolivia and Mexico hours prior to game day and leave right away. You either train AT LEAST10 days in advance and slowly acclimate to it or fly in the day of game and avoid it. After 24 hours your body starts to feel the effects.

I had the "here we go again" feeling when Mex drew SA and we got England. Crazy how things changed after that.

Did you watch the game vs South Korea in 2002? Spain got shafted out of not one but TWO completely legit goals that there was nothing whatsoever wrong with.

Man Group G is such a pain.. I Root for Portugal, but I would love to see Ivory Coast make it.. Brazil just has to make it or it would not be a world cup..

i was thinking that after mexico got drawn for group A. i was like, great. they get south africa, and we're going to get some powerhouse. butthen when they pulled us for group C, i was like, other than south africa, can't say you could do any better than england. i was just hoping the remainingtwo teams would give us favorable matchups. luckily i think it worked out almost as well as we could expect.
