Heads up for futbol fans, coming up USA vs. Mexico



This is a World Cup qualification match. Mexico is in an almost must-win situation.

USA has NEVER beaten Mexico at the Azteca Stadiun, no victory in 72 years, since the rivalry began. USA goes into the game with a 22 lost, zero wins and one draw.

Over 105,000 fans in the stadium. Game will start at 4 p.m. Eastern (about 15 minutes as I write this.

Even if you are not a futbol fan, take a couple of minutes to check out the atmosphere at the stadium, it is awesome. Game will be live on Telemundo Spanish channel.

Btw, Hondurans, both the golpistas and the resistance, will take a two-hour break from their struggle later this evening when Costa Rica plays Honduras in San Pedro Sula. Over 1,000 police have been assigned to keep order in and around the Olympic Stadium in SPS. There should be some resistance signs at the game.

1. Checked our cable, we're not getting it. Wishing them luck.
I have noticed the Honduras team hasn't missed a beat throughout. Hope they win tonight. Also, hope a statement will be made and noted!
