Lol, Mexican fans hitting their own guys with bottles. What an embarrassing night for them, first the chant, and now two times they've hit players with bottles. Making a solid case to be denied entry next time.

Some pretty terrible stuff, but this game really felt like a rivalry. Most fun I've had watching US soccer since the world cup where they made the quarters.

Mexico fans act this way every time we play them. This is normal behavior for them.

USA! I was busy with other stuff tonight and turned it on a couple mins before the Pulisic penalty shot. Wish I would've watched the whole thing

CONCACAF continues to be a joke until they get serious about reigning in Mexico's fans (and players) when it comes to **** like this. It's old hat now, but it's EVERY freaking match with them. Their players play dirty and their fans are even worse.

All that said, amazing resiliency by the young squad! We're still out matched from a talent/experience combo against them, but this young group has some serious fight. Future is bright. Pulisic/Reyna/Dest/McKennie/Adams is a hell of a group to build from.

Boy late night, but that was as fun of a soccer match as I've watched in a long time. Can't wait now for World Cup qualifiers. I'm far from a soccer expert, but am I wrong to be a bit concerned about our back line? Thought we had way too many sketch lapses back there, which could of hurt us lots more than they did. We got bailed out multiple times for differing reasons. Regardless, I'll take the win and be happy with it.

Back line was sketchy at times. Brooks looked pretty solid.

Yeah, Brooks was good last night and he needed to be. McKenzie couldn't have had a much worse start to the game, and Ream was constantly getting thrown off balance. Yedlin held his own for the most part.

I'm gonna hate seeing Mexico's Lainez for the next several years. That kid is quick with the ball. We were struggling to keep him contained with 2 defenders. I held my breath every time he touched it.
