Little Boy Blue

Last week's Hexagonal match-up between Mexico and the United States was supposed to be the game where Landon Donovan finally succeeded in defeating the Tricolor at the mighty Colosus of Saint Ursula; the estadio Azteca. And after nine minutes it appeared that he would do just that.

Donovan set up Davies with a brilliant pass to open the scoring sheet. The so-called "Mexicutioner" seemed poised to fulfill every Nads fan boys wet dream. However, as the minutes draged on so did Landon who in his final act was outpaced by Efrain Juarez who set up the match winner.

A few days after the match news surfaced that Landycakes had played whilst suffering from the H1N1 virus. Regardless of Donovan's condition the U.S have now fallen to the Tricolor for the second straight game and have allowed a surprising seven goals. I like where this rivalry is headed..
