Summer’s over. And for U.S. supporters, it probably left a bad taste in their mouths.

It’s the definition of home field advantage. Azteca Stadium.
With a chance to reclaim power in CONCACAF, the U.S. men’s national team fell to Mexico 2-1 under the heat, humidity, and altitude of 100,000 plus fans.
Charlie Davies put his team up early. Mexico responded quickly with a first-half goal of its own. A late second-half strike [...]

An emphatic victory, or uninspiring performance; depending on which side of the line you stand.
