Big C: We fielded our under 23 team (No Reyna, Nor McBride, No Fridel or Keller, etc.) in olympic qualifying. Still, it was us or Mexico, and the game was played in a very tough stadium in Mexico, with a very hostile crowd. They booed the national anthem and shouted "osama, osama" during the game. Mexico also fielded an under 23 squad, I think.

PS We beat Mexico a few months ago in Dallas as a warm up to World Cup qualifying. Both teams had pretty much their full sides, and we dominated play, winning 1-0. Should have been more. When Bruce Arena coaches and Reyna plays, we're still pretty good.

So I think we'll be pretty strong again in 2006, though 2002 may be tough to beat, especially the Mexico game.
