Supporting Chicharito In Gold Cup Final

Mexico take on USA in the Gold Cup final tonight (or 2am on Sunday morning for us on Eurosport 2) in a bid to retain the trophy. This is the third final in a row to feature the two teams, with Mexico winning 5-0 in 2009 and USA winning 2-1 in 2007.

Chicharito scored five goals in the three group stage games, scored the winner in the quarter-finals, as well as scoring in extra time in the semi-finals to help Mexico beat Honduras. He is this year’s highest scorer with 7 goals, a record which has only been bettered on one occasion in the history of the competition.

The USA’s top scorer is currently Fulham’s Clint Dempsey on three goals, followed by Jozy Altidore, who spent a season in the Premiership with Hull, on two goals.

The final is being played in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, LA, which has a capacity of 91,000.

    5-0 was the US second team the first team beat Spain in the confederation cup. The MLS still plays in the summer. The guys could not play both turnys.

    Should be a cracking game, It is a Derby ! Holden from Bolton is hurt but Jones from Blackburn has stepped up. Donovan looks tiered like he has played 2 straight years without a break. MLS summer and the Everton loan and all the National play.

    Zibbie

    So many movies and TV programs refer to Mexicans crossing the border into the US, that I’m wondering if Chicharito is at any risk of arrest trying to get to the game! Better get your big ass down there and keep the Border Patrol off our little Pea!

  11. Zibbie says:

    @smartalex, Ban Zibbie! I am sure some of your closest pals here feel that way. I try not to give excuses so I do not have to except them. I have some strong opinions and when it comes to personal attacks in the cyber realm, or in the real world I have very little tolerance.

  19. smartalex says:

    Zibbie, I was jokingly suggesting we ban you for supporting the US against our Chicharito.
    A joke that I know you realised!

    I don’t think that there is anyone on RoM that wants you banned. Absolutely not.
    Methinks your sensitivity is unfounded! You’re a fun guy.
    Of course, that doesn’t mean that you are above reproach!

  20. Zibbie says:

  21. Zibbie says:

    @smartalex I know that of course you did, just an observation on my part, a backhanded way to let those lads know I get it and am working on being a less offensive regular here mate.

  22. Zibbie says:

    @smartalex I have been to sensitive I truly have respect for this blog and all on it, with a special feeling for the core group.

    Methinks your sensitivity is unfounded! You’re a fun guy.
    Of course, that doesn’t mean that you are above reproach!

    That helps a lot mate.

  33. Kings says:

    Good luck Chicha.

  34. Kevin says:

    Born in the USA cheering for the USA but it will be hard to go against Chicharito. Tune in, should be an excellent match

  35. devil in detroit says:

    im from the usa and i think theyre horrible. went and seen them here vs canada and it was such a bore… although i did enjoy seeing timmy howard! saw united here in cali vs club america from mexico city in 2003 and it was a helluvalot better. come on chicharito!!!!

  36. RedLion says:

    Mexico´s kit is cool.. Think they will win it, but as i get more familiar with that team, i think they are missing Carlos Vela´s pace on the left.. That kid is a great left winger, too bad Wenger is not using him.

  37. MEXICO is RED says:

    @RedLion,
    Agree with you regarding Carlos Vela, it is great to see when Giovani dos Santos, Vela and Chicharito start to run, they are so fast!

  38. United4eva says:

    Chico! Chico! Chico!

  39. Anya Felix Onuchukwu says:

    support Chicharito,i particulary is wishing him the trophy tonight,i believe he is a man of success and tonight will mark another day of his success.

  40. dijev says:

    I am gonna watch, even if it’s 03:00 CET.
    Dying to see a proper football game now …
    I liked the first goal ‘the little pea’ scored for the club, it was a sign of good fortune …

  41. AtlReds says:

    Sorry Chico, but no goals for you tonight… Please
