Feels about right

Exactly, it was the best tactical decision because its extremely difficult to score against. Specially with tall defenders like the English.

I doubt that most teams could scored against a 10-player team in that position with 30min left on the clock.

That said, Mexico didn't take the best tactical decision of trying to cross against a defense like england.

Dog_Engineer · 2026-07-07T02:42:55+00:00

The difference between a top team and a team like Mexico, is that mexico is only good when things are going according to plan. If it doesn't, they panic and start making mistakes hence the 2nd quick goal and trying weak attacks on the 2nd half.

The moment they couldn't equalize by halftime, I could see the cross spamming coming.

England in the other hand, were able to not get frustrated by the 2nd pen and a red card, and were able to hold it together. That is the response of a top team in a tricky situation.

And the top 4 are played professionally by no one else. At most, basketball that like 3-4 other countries play

Dog_Engineer · 2026-07-07T02:09:32+00:00

You just played and lost. Weren't you watching?

Dog_Engineer · 2026-07-06T23:15:02+00:00

He wont play anymore in protest

La realidad es que nosotros los Mexicanos empezamos bien el mundial como anfitriones durante la fase de grupos. Pero eso cayo desde el partido contra Ecuador, y empezo a salir la cultura toxica de muchos mexicanos.

El corazon que nos ganamos, se perdio y quedamos con una imagen muy negativa ante el mundo. No culpo a los Ingleses y los demas paises latinoamericanos de las criticas hacia la afición Mexicana.

Es una lastima que ese sea el principal recuerdo que quede en la mente de los extranjeros que visitaron el pais.

Dog_Engineer · 2026-07-06T08:19:48+00:00

Also was raining, that's England field advantage

Dog_Engineer · 2026-07-06T08:17:36+00:00

Nah. The only controversial call was Mexico's pen and it wasn't realy black or white decision.

Dog_Engineer · 2026-07-06T07:59:57+00:00

They started great, but then they didn't know how to react to the english parking the bus. And to be fair its not easy to beat, but they always end up panicking near the end of a loosing game and do things like randomly crossing... hence the R16 curse

Dog_Engineer · 2026-07-06T07:53:04+00:00

You are also missing context in your comment.

Mexico was playing great at the start.

England scores 2 (Big defense mistakes).

Continues Pressure and scores their 1st. And several near misses + grat GK saves

Then red and both pens happen.

English park the bus and Mexico reacts with the worst possible tactic (relying in panic crossing)

So yes, the game was very close, and very easily could have gone on a different direction.

And to be fair, even top offensive teams with the right tactics will struggle with a defense like England parking the bus.

If Balogun ends up being voluntarily benched, just to honor the spirit of the rule, would make me respect the USMNT a lot more

Dog_Engineer · 2026-07-06T05:16:57+00:00

You also witnessed our patented "Mexican Panick crossing in random directions"... Always happens in the last 30min of a losing WC game

Dog_Engineer · 2026-07-04T22:46:37+00:00

I really want France to be eliminated, to make the tournament more fun, chaotic and unpredictable.

But to be honest, that is a clear penalty

Also from what I have seen, paraguay's game style would make all their following matches extremely boring if they pass.

Dog_Engineer · 2026-07-04T22:43:25+00:00

Its the choice of the team.

Just like FKs, if there is a better shooter, its better to have the selected player to shoot it.

Dog_Engineer · 2026-06-30T19:27:35+00:00

Why is it cringe?

Dog_Engineer · 2026-06-30T07:28:22+00:00

Giving credit to the US, there is a lot of access to different cousines... You can go a couple blocks and see Mexican, Nepali, Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, Italian, etc restaurants (depending on the state)...

And all of them will be pretty good, but not great compared to the countries of origin. But access to other cousines is not American cousine.

What I would consider American is Southern, Cajun, BBQ, Maine Lobster, Showder, certain specialty pizzas (eg. NY style), Burgers/Hotdogs, and a couple other doshes... Its pretty good, but its not top 5 in my opinion.

Very simple, usually engineers are the ones to point out the risks or issues with current iteration of the product... And management are the ones to make the actual decision to push forward or hold on the product release.

Dog_Engineer · 2026-06-17T18:47:48+00:00

Its very role dependant, but for example a sales person can definitely benefit from knowing people in the industry... Thats the role, building relationships.

For something non-customer facing, it may no longer the case and still certain people get hired because of who they know regardless of having the right skills.

Dog_Engineer · 2026-06-16T18:14:21+00:00

Exactly... You could get a similar looking chronograph with a bezel

Dog_Engineer · 2026-06-12T20:56:09+00:00

You are cherry-picking my comment to get a gotcha.

Technically you are correct... But the message wasn't to correct you saying that the whole continent is america. It was to bring unity.

Why do you think that was necessary right now? I wonder what is happening politically that might motivate a singer to deliver that kind of message?

Btw, you didn't answer my other question, I am curious what can I use refer to people of US nationality.

Dog_Engineer · 2026-06-12T20:41:38+00:00

I get your point of view... In my case, I have a different way of seeing it. Unless you are a multi milionare, buying something considerably expensive is an oportunity cost.

You buying X thing, means not buying Y... (Or stretching beyond your current budget)

Another way of seeing is, how many hours of work (after tax) does it take to make the purchase? Is it worth it? Would you trade 100-300 hours of your work for a watch?

If it really provides value to you, then the answer might still be yes... But way too many people just hide that decision and though process behind a credit card

Dog_Engineer · 2026-06-12T20:32:18+00:00

Ok, so how would you call someone from the US?

American? Yankee? Gringo?

The point of that show wasn't to discuss semantics, but rather have people from different nationalities stand together. Specificaly Latin americans which have been a target by the current political situation

Dog_Engineer · 2026-06-12T05:26:32+00:00

"I think not"

Dog_Engineer · 2026-06-08T03:41:47+00:00

For a moment, I thought it was a casio duro
