And The Winner of 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup is

USA

Mexico scored first, only to be equalized by RD's PK and then beaten by a wonderful 75 feet volley off the right foot of Feilhaber. For the Aztecs, it's another display of Football Negativity that led to a bitter end. At the begining of second half, they switched from a offensive 3-5-2 formation to a 4-3-2-1 (close to 4-5-1) in an attempt to perserve their one goal advantage, only to find themselves trailing 1-2 and not able to equalize due to the defensive orientation of the formation. Without much offensive midfield representation, Mexico had to rely on the wings in their search for equalize, where they were shut down by US effectively. Blanco coming in at 80th minute indicated their lack of CAM substitution option and this 2nd choice change did next to nothing.



Round of applause to Benny Feilhaber. The game winning volley was beautiful.
Apparently Mexico is gaining the reputation of losing to WonderGoals.
Remember Maxi Rodríguez?
