With another United States - Mexico Wade Boggs Authentic Jersey matchup on the books, let us take a moment to think about this rivalry in a broader context. I have drawn an interesting mix of criticism and praise for my suggestion that, at least right now, the Mexican side seems better than the American team. The United States has managed to dominate the series of late, in large measure because the American side has taken a more intelligent and calm approach to the rivalry. The Mexican players are more likely to boast unnecessarily, to commit foolish fouls, and to otherwise show the signs of a team under much greater pressure to win without the emotional resources to overcome its fans lofty expectations.
That said, Mexican fans will http://www.yankeesbaseballstoreonline.com/WOMENS-THURMAN-MUNSON-JERSEY.html likely eventually need to come to grips with the fact that the American team will not just continue their head-to-head dominance, but will also soon occupy a much more prominent role internationally. There are a number of reasons for this, but in my estimation here are the five biggest reasons:
1. Momentum. Isaac Newton famously noted that objects in motion tend to stay in motion. Despite the setbacks suffered in 2006 and 1998, over the last 15 years the United States has been on an incredible ascent. They used to be a mere exhibition Kendall Wright Authentic Jersey opponent against top international competition- the quintessential homecoming opponent that you could beat up on and look great doing it. Now, the United States has become less phased by playing top South American and European competition.
On the other hand, Mexico has been very consistent. This is both good and bad; good because you can usually count on them to reach the Round of 16 at the Cup, but bad because they never really look like doing much more than that. To be sure, Mexico has a new crop of youngsters who look pretty classy, but it isn't clear to me that Castillo, Guardado or Ochoa represent a clear improvement over Borgetti, Blanco or Marquez in their primes.
Now, the American fan needs to remember the second part of Newton's maxim, namely that, "objects in motion http://www.titansshopnfl.com/zach-mettenberger-jersey_c-384.html tend to stay in motion, unless acted upon." In international football, there are myriad forces acting against the continued ascent of any team. After all, to climb up the ladder, you have to do so at the expense of other nations, most of which are equally dedicated to improving, or at least maintaining, their position. As such, it's always important to remember that it's much easier to go from bad to good than from good to best.
