🇬🇧BRIT Football Fan Reacts To USA VS MEXICO - GAME OF THE YEAR? 

This video leaves out all the best parts, pitch invaders, a man running through the CBS set, fans throwing drinks, game stoppage due to homophobic chants, all the scuffles between the players. This game was ELECTRIC. Anyone who says concacaf soccer is bad needs to watch USA vs Mexico. Bitter rivalry

This rivalry is crazy. Every game between these two countries has fights lol

Memo Ochoa is a great keeper. He's been a thorn in our side for decades now.

The one thing I *MUST* give Mexican television credit for: announcers. Idk what it is about Mexican sports commentators but listening to them talk about sports, regardless of what sport it is, just makes everything so much more exciting.

Also don’t know if you caught it but Zack Steffen, the US starting keeper had to go off injured! So it made the penalty save as well as the other nice saves that Horvath made even more impressive.

Honestly the highlights don’t even show how great that game was. The fans were insane. Mexican fans were throwing bottles onto the pitch and even hit Gio Reyna in the head. Pulisic was celebrating in front of the Mexican supporters group. Then if you notice the American goalkeeper switched. The number 1 keeper, Zach stefan, had to come off and he was replaced by Horvath who doesn’t even have a club right now. He played an amazing match. He’s definitely going to get a good contract after that performance. He also started another match recently and killed it.

Beating Mexico is great , but beating them for a trophy is the cherry on top

Anybody else thinking 'Just wait for it...' when he said that the Ochoa save in the 70th was the best all year lol

Very proud of Christian Pulisic, he played his youth club soccer at PA Classics, 10 minutes from my house!

I would have to say that’s the best game I have seen in years in terms of entertainment, just unbelievable

More of the world needs to take notice of this rivalry we have with each other. For too long, people have turned a blind eye on both the USA and Mexico. They dont take us seriously when we take ourselves seriously. And with numerous players from both countries going to top european clubs and putting up numbers, it’s a matter of time before both sides earn more respect than before. In world cups, mexico and the USA have only been past the round of 16 twice. Mexico in 1970 and 1986 made it to the quarterfinals which coincidentally are the times they hosted the tournament. The USA in 1930 finished 3rd and made a quarterfinal run in 2002. But if we both qualify for WC2022, i reckon both teams will show the world that they can play football. And it helps that WC2026 will be in the US and Mexico and even Canada. Speaking of Canada, i think they’ll be next to have great players besides Davies.

I've never really been a soccer fan? But this game had the drama, but I was damn proud my country won one hell of a game. I just might have to become a fan!!!

the highlights video didn't do a great job of showing this but the crazy part was our starting keeper came off injured around the 60', and so our backup keeper came on. Ethan Horvath (the backup) was playing in his home town (Denver), and his whole family was at the game. he played incredible considering he's the backup to Mignolet at his club Club Brugge, and saving the pen at the end was the cherry on top. he seems like a great guy and I'm so happy for him.

As a brit ex-pat let me tell you these "highlights" are misleading. As a Spanish language broadcast, they tend to focus more on the Mexican team so a number of nice plays by the US were not shown. The intensity level of the game was through the roof. They do not show the tough, tough tackles - Herrara should have been sent off twice. There were altercations all over the field. The Mexican coach was thrown out. The US coach got was warned over interfering with play in trying to retrieve a ball. I've watched Football games for 50 years and I will tell you this was as tough, as intense, and fought like very, very few games I have seen. This was also the 2nd youngest team EVER to represent the US in a full international. By far the majority of the US players were 22 and younger and could play for a Youth team. Reyna for example is only 18 and plays for Dortmund. Truly a great game.

Crazy thing is, our backup keeper, Ethan Horvath, is a free agent after his contract with Club Brugge ran out. This compilation missed a few things, including 2 other clutch saves that Horvath made. He's earned himself a nice new contract with that performance.

I started laughing when they showed the giant screen with anti-discrimination protocol and the Mexico fans were like why the F did they stop the match

Ochoa single handedly kept Mexico's lead against Germany. He's really an underrated keeper

Fam , concacaf games get pretty crazy when it's the top teams. You'll have to check out the gold cup in a couple weeks. Jamaica just added a bunch of English born players recently & Curacao added a bunch of Dutch born players and are coach by Guus Hiddink and Patrick Kluivert. Crazy times over here !

Interestingly enough, Horvath is from right outside of Denver, which is where this match was played. It's only fitting that he won Man of the Match.

My heart was pounding during both pens. I lost it when Horvath saved it. This was the most excited I have been watching a US game in quite some time. The past few years have been really dreadful especially after we missed the last World Cup.

Just found you these last couple weeks and I'm glad I did! You've quickly become a channel I look forward to every day, keep up the good work man!

Hey bro, I appreciate the fact that you watched it in Spanish. Hispanic commentators are the beat in the world. Their narratives, the way they express themselves and everything makes it great. Thank you so much for sharing

Always watch US Mexico games, If you can. They’re played with passion and flair and energy. Always a spectacle.

This wasn’t even all the highlights! Players fighting, MEX coach getting a red card during VAR review, fans throwing things on the field (Reyna needing care because he was hit in the head), pitch invader, CBS pundits desk also having an invader, back up keeper (Horvath) having the game of his life, Pulisic’s goal celebration in front of the MEX fans (finger to lips, shushing them) 😂 This was a great, crazy game!

As a usa fan that’s the best game of any sport I’ve ever seen. It had everything, tons of action, lots of goals, drama, pitch invaders, and a sweet ending. Especially with the stakes of the game, huge rivalry, nations league final, start of a new generation. Lets gooooo USA🇺🇸

Mexico is a veteran team and many have played together for years on the national team. Meanwhile, this was the youngest USMNT starting 11 ever.

What an entertaining segment, really enjoyed your candor, humor, commentary and style. All the best!

My fav thing about your channel that puts it at my #1 reactions spot is that u always give your attention to your subs comments, and that’s the best thing to me a channel could do, give attention to their subs.

We actually have a US soccer supporter group in London, you should join them

The best comparison I've heard between these two teams is that the USA have the better individuals, but Mexico has the better TEAM. They know each other, they play really well together. Though I'm sure it helps having a great coach too. The US coach thinks he's the American Guardiola, but really has the tactical mind of a P.E. teacher.

An interesting note on this game that isn't shown in the video - the second half of extra time had 11 minutes of stoppage time added on to the 15-minute period. It's pretty rare to get 11 minutes of stoppage after a 45-minute half but 11 minutes added on to a 15 minute ET session is just insane.

Thank you for giving some PROPS to CONCACAF So cool you listen to your viewers and Mexico’s keeper is no joke. But USA’s back up keeper was clutch World Cup watch out!! Here come the Yankees

Not sure if anybody’s answered your questions, but Ochoa plays for Club América in Liga MX and started his career there at 18 debuting for their senior side in 2004. Went to France in 2011, Spain in 2014, and Belgium in 2017 before coming back to Mexico City in 2019 to play back with his boyhood club Club América. Has been Mexico’s #1 keeper pretty much since the start, he’s been unreal and a pain to have on the other side as a US fan

You should react to Ochoa vs Brazil in the World Cup in Brazil

Thanks for posting your reactions.....great video!!!!!!!

Yeah US Mexico games was wild in the mid 2000s especially in 2008 or 09 when Charlie Davies scored a goal the literally shut the whole mexico up 😆

That game was crazy and thank you making a video about it

You need to take 2hours and watch the whole match, I promise you will still be wildly entertained even knowing what happens in the end. There was sooooo much more crazy stuff happening, fights, bottles thrown, etc lol 😆

Your giddiness puts a smile on my face 🙂 great reaction to an amazing game! And you took the words right out of my mouth about Mexico’s commentators! They are just as fun as the game🙃

I loved reliving this game through your vid. Thanks for doing this!

The announcers need a in goal chant for the disallowed goals. Lol

I really enjoyed your genuine enthusiastic reaction. Don't miss the USA vs Mexico rematch July 5th. Find the time !

This game was awesome to watch... it's been hard for me to watch a full soccer/football game, but this one had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. So much drama and action all the way through haha.

Andre hereera is from Spain. This is Hector from Athletico. Also almiron plays for Paraguay!

You'd think they played this in Mexico. The match was actually in Denver.

Young Mr. Reyna is in fact the son of Claudio and Danielle Reyna

That game was so hype I stayed up till 1230 watching it and had to wake up for work at 7...no regrets

Amazing video!! 🔥

Great reaction! Game was other worldly! However I’ve seen multiple people react to this video in particular & I have to say it’s one of the worst ones, it’s just chopped up so badly, and it’s missing all the stuff like the fans throwing stuff on the field & at the USA players, the pitch invaders, Steffen our Goalkeeper getting hurt and having to be substituted for our backup Horvath who’s barely played at all this year(and he’s from the Denver area as well, where the game was played), etc Edit: The Game being stopped because the Mexico fans were using Homophobic chants that FIFA has warned them about! Mexico’s coach getting sent off for touching the ref & then REFUSING to leave the pitch!

They didn't show all the scrums that took place, the bottles thrown, red card to Mexico's manager, the VAR reactions, great saves by Harvath our replacement goalkeeper, fans on the pitch and on and on. The full game is on Utube!!

My Doode, guilty pleasure but, I LOVE your videos and commentary. Fantastic insight my man!

Kabir thanks for an great and amazing reacts and keep up the great work.

So for mexico I'll just name a bit The goals Ochoa: plays for America (Mexican team) Lozano: Napoli Herrera: Athletico Madrid Also they have Jimenez but he still isn't 100% good from his injury Also this video didn't show how all the fans were throwing bottles at the pitch

Haven’t felt this excited after a US game in years I’m so excited for the future of the team

I’ll never forget going to a USA U16 goalkeeper training camp some years ago. One of the coaches started calling me Ochoa and to this day it’s one of coolest compliments I’ve gotten. He’s one of the most underrated keepers in the world in my opinion.

🇺🇸 v 🇲🇽 is by far one of the top 5 rivalries in the world. You. Will. Never. Be. Disappointed. Watching. This. Cage. Match.

It was legit a movie.

US football is beginning to surge and it's nice to see. The women's national team has a lot to do with it as well.. They're top tier.

Great reaction 👍💯

I was at this. My wife and I spent a full 14 months stuck at home with our 3 kids, not going anywhere if we could avoid it, avoiding people like it was our job. We got fully vaxxed and were past the 2 week mark in time for this match and the semifinal before it, so we went to both. Our first sporting event in a year and a half, and our first US match since before the debacle that resulted in the US not qualifying for 2018. This was incredible. I've been to matches all over. USA-MEX at Estadio Azteca, WCQs in a dozen cities around the US, USA-Italy in Germany 2006 and all three group stage matches in South Africa. This was easily the most intense and amazing game I've ever been to. I lost years of my life at this game. What this misses besides what another commenter said (pitch invaders, drinks hitting players, game stoppages due to homophobic chants by Mexico fans, fights, 25 minutes of stoppage time across both halves and extra time) was Steffen getting injured late in the 2nd half and Ethan Horvath having to come on as backup. He was scored on quickly, but followed that up with the phenomenal save on the 30 yard shot (right in front of where I was with American Outlaws!) and settled in. He was playing in front of a home crowd--he had 20 friends/family in attendance and is from the area. I can't imagine another game topping that one for me as far as being there in person goes. I don't even know what it would take beyond something crazy at the World Cup. But this even tops USA-Algeria for me, though only because that was 90+ of me slowly falling into despair as I watched the minutes tick by followed by absolute elation. This match though, was 145 minutes of chaos against one of our most bitter rivals, and having it end like it did? Hell of a way to celebrate our vaccination and get out of the house. Beats the vacation we took to New Orleans the week before to be entirely honest. I'd trade that trip to be able to go back and go to this game a second time.

Watching this match live was mad, so entertaining. Is there a more intense rivalry in world football?

One of the great rivalries in International Football. The popularity of the game has exploded in the U.S.. Hopefully we are even more involved as a nation when we go to Qatar next year. Deep World Cup run is on for the USA 🇺🇸

Honestly, this game was incredible, it had been a long time since there had been a classic like this in CONCACAF. The game was for both teams.

You HAVE to watch the full match. Bro, I promise you will not regret it. As good as it was in the highlight video, it didn’t show a red card, extreme fan interaction, protocols, and the drama in terms of timing. Love what you do, man! 🙏

This has to be one the best games ever in my opinion

A great reaction to a great game!!!!

Hell of a game. Happy to say that Denver hosting it was awesome. Lol

Great video! You got a new sub 😉

Miguel Almiron actually it's Paraguayan. Although he did play end it us for Atlanta at one point

5:16 Almiron is a mls product! He previously played at Atlanta United and we absolutely LOVED him! You should definitely check out his mls highlights in the mls if you get the chance!

Watched that live it was madddd

McKennie with the 99 heading lol

6:10 VAR ruled him offside.

Ochoa is still a great keeper today, any top team who wants a reliable vet would be wise to sign him.

great react video thank you

Honestly, I think even a lot of us Americans (like me) who aren’t huge soccer fans watched this one and were on the edge of our seats. The interest in the sport is definitely growing here. It’s changed so much even within my lifetime (I’m almost 40). Also, this is from Univision, which is an American Spanish language TV network.

The back up goalie for the USA, Horvath! 🤯

As a Mexican national team fan, I was disappointed, even if this wasn’t a major title per se. As an American, this is great for our region, the USMNT will continue to get better and stronger through our rivalry. Both countries have lots of young talent in Europe at the moment so it’s only up from here. On a side note it is a shame though that the USMNT didn’t qualify for the Olympics.

I’ve been watching soccer on a regular basis since 2005. My good friend introduced me to Premier League Football and Manchester United one day, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Supporting United, Borussia Dortmund and Real Salt Lake. I’m very excited that the popularity of soccer is on the rise in the US, and I can’t wait to see how our national team fairs in 2022!

Nice!!! This is what I was hoping you would do!

I was actually about to DM you to complain about the Mexico fans but forgot lol! Whole game was chippy af, don't know why that wasn't shown in this highlight video but it's on the CBS version. But anyway, some of the Mexico fans were truly gutless, shouting insults and throwing bottles at the players

Loved your reaction!! but I feel like you should’ve watched the cbs sports highlights instead. These ones are incredibly choppy and editing is super strange. I feel like you were confused through most of it. Hell I watched the game live, and I was confused watching these highlights. But anyways another nice one man!

Great Video... I'm in the Video @13:55 Celebrating the Mckennie Goal with the blue hat and the trophy in my hand behind the guy with the beard. Hands down best sporting event I've ever been to.

It was 1:00am, that save made me scream so loud I woke up absolutely everyone

There was so much that happened that isn't in this video either. McKennie was choked (which the ref didn't see), the game was paused for homophobic chants in stoppage time, there were 2 pitch invaders at the same time, the US broadcast had the set crashed by a guy that jumped off the back, the Mexican coach got a red card during the VAR, Reyna got hit in the head by a beer can when celebrating the Pulisic PK, and a Mexico player got drilled in the head by a cup of something (maybe urine) at the end. It was insane. See if you can find the entire game to watch.

react to mls craziest comebacks, also love the vids!

I watched every minute of that game, one of the most emotional games I've watched in years.

American football fan here. My heart almost left my body multiple times in this game. Watching your reaction made me smile. I’m partial. Lol

Pulisic and McKennie are both the captains of team USA for the moment but it’s looking like many want McKennie to be the main guy as Captain of team USA

"Mexican football fans are the most passionate" South America knocking at the door!

Thanks for showing some love to North America and CONCACAF. England is my Euro team. It’s coming home. Much love from Los Angeles

I absolutely LOVE beating Mexico! One of the most bitter, intense rivalries in all of football. I recommend the USA vs Mexico match from the 2002 World Cup Round of 16 which was intense, physical & violent.

Bro that was yedlin who used to play for Newcastle

I made a decision to get into premier league soccer and I didn't want to pick a team based off looks or standings so I took a "Pick your team quiz". I got Liverpool. Any good players or other things I should know?

this was one of the best games ive ever seen!

It was even more impressive that the US did it with a backup goalie.

A cup of ice was thrown at a US player, Siebatcheu I believe it was. He saw it coming and ducked it. The Mexican player behind him got smoked in the head in a case of friendly fire.

16:45 they ruled it a hand ball

Love your commentary as English soccer fan. Being from the US watching the Premier League, that was the best game I've seen from the USMNT.

8:00 they def. have. A combination of our team being so young and the pandemic, these guys really haven't played together very much. Prior to the semi-final and final last weekend, the US' last competitive match was in 2019. Three friendlies in 2020, four friendlies in 2021 was all that was played.
