What made this matchup so intriguing was it was a veritable match of vatos (Mexican dudes), a battle of two teams whose players have grown up playing against and -- in some cases -- alongside one another. Nine of the starters on the two teams were Mexican-Americans. - Paul Kennedy

Three FCD Youth products were on the rosters, too.

I have a friend who still plays at 72, but these guys must be really, really fit!

I can't believe there wasn't a few broken hips. Lots of contact from the centenarians in the middle.

The Mexico team is very creative on the attack, and the US team has a very good keeper and distributing/switching defenders.

Couldn't resist the opportunity to watch Bueno and Corona while drinking a muy bueno Corona. Very Happy

Too much stoppage of play and uneven tempers during the match by both teams.

The US team appeared particularly hot tempered during the course of the tourney. That could be a problem down the road for some of the players...
