Mexico - Colombia Copa de Oro

We got Mexico - Colombia this weekend playing in the Gold Cup. I do come from a Mexican background being that my parents are Mexican. My girl is Colombian so we're looking forward to this game. I'm rooting for Mexico, and she of course for Colombia, but I don't hold anything against Colombia so if they win i root for them all the way. I say score is 2-1 in favor of Mexico. Please post your predictions. So I say let the best team win and good luck to both teams.

a house divided This game has turned into my family's version of the superbowl. My dad is a soccer fanatic; my nieces and nephews all play soccer extremely competitively; my brothers and I lived and breathed soccer when we were kids. My dad is Colombian and my mother is Mexican and the personal and nationalistic competition has turned ugly. :) I personally plan to wear a Colombian jersey during the game while waving a Mexican flag in an attempt to steer clear of the divisiveness of the situation. :)

Vamos Colombiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I say Colombia wins 2-0 even though our REAL national team isn't playing.

BTW, I don't know why Univision is promoting it as 'Mexico-Colombia', the last time I checked, the letter 'C' came before 'M' in the spanish and english alphabet!

Well ColombianoX I guess it is obvious that Univision knows what country has a better all around team. C before M? I think being ranked #6 in the world comes before being ranked #25, well I would think so. Nothing against Colombia though, but MEXICO! MEXICO! MEXICO! I say 3-1 Mexico. Don't be offended, this is all in good humor.

Copa de Oro I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT EITHER TEAM, THEY BOTH SUCK!!
SO, I DON'T KNOW WHY YA'LL ARE SO CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR GAME, WHEN BOTH COLOMBIA AND MEXICO ARE PATHETIC.

Pelo I have the same situation I was going to post the same email, but was afraid I would get ripped. Sorry Mexico should win.

Too close to call! Honestly, even though Mexico is ranked higher, Colombia has been impressive of late and I don't think the standings are truely representative of Colombia's present state.

So, I will have to say it's simply to close to call.

When is the game to be shown in the US? I just looked at the matches listed to be broadcast on Univision and the match didn't show up.

Even though Mexico is ranked #6, I think they are always over ranked. And yes Colombia has been progressing, but Mexico has too much going for them, excellent defense and a good offense.

Hey man, I aint making this up. Why dont you submit something to FIFA? I'm pretty sure they know way more than you..... I get my info directly from the source, and not based on opinion.

I know you're not making this up, Marcitos. It's the FIFA rankings that's a joke.
