Both teams looked very weak at this years world cup and benefitted from weak groups.

The US "results" have, for the most part, come against second rate teams in games that don't matter. They live off that win against Spain in which Spain didn't care and a fluke run in the WC where they beat nobody to try and justify there crap play most of the time.

Look at the guys that played on that team not one would get a sniff at the top teams in the world and their "best" player is a mediocre player on a mediocre team in England.

Making the Mexican or US national team is not that difficult and the players that are there right now are proof of that.
