You can see the competitivnes in SAF. Usualy from what I have seen so far, every team started with their best 11. However, SAF wanted to give a chance to start for bellion, fortune, richardson, Forlan. Instead of the game winding down in the last 20 min, this one should heat up. I am not surprised by the scoreline, although I expected at least a goal. Mexican play that rough, foul football that prevents us from developing our natural play. Should be a great second half.

Did Fortune play LB? How did he cope?
Fortune looked like LB was natural to him.

that leaves us with 2 defenders on the field
as I understand, Phil is playing at right back and Fortune as a left back
VanNistlerater's got it right imo. Seba's been excellent, our best player and the best on the pitch. Bellion's been good, not great. He hasn't had as many chances on the ball as he did against Celtic. Leave him on I say.
Fortune was caught out of position at times but overall he has look quite comfortable and solid.
C'MON UNITED!! No such thing as a friendly. Lets beat these fajitas.
That was the quickest HT ever...did it really last 15 minutes?
They're interviewing a CA player, he's got a really high voice like Beckham's... he speaks English better than Becks though.

Awesome goal from Ruud!!!!
RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!
From just outside of the box after a brilliant first touch to take it away from two defenders. Best fecking striker in the world, and the FSW bloke just agreed with that sentiment.
A goal from nothing, credit to Diego for a quality flick-on header.
1-0

WHat a fecking goal. Ruud while running to the left of the goal, close the 16 m yard box with three defenders on his back, flicks one, surprising everybody and catching the goalie of guard. Goalie made a great attempt, but the ball was too fast for that. What a goal.
Van, your ratings are pants....
Ruud's had a good game.
(what a goal!!!! )

)His speed and hustling pay off again. Shoots before you think he will....great shot from edge of the pen area in centre of field
DIEGO!!!!!!
Another bad pass by Forlan...but United retain possession and Forlan heads home from Fortune flick in the box.
Seba fouled. Taken quickly to Fortune down the right crosses to
DIEEEEEGOOOOOAAALLLL!!!!
Heade in in despite a defender jumping with him. Perfect cross, perfect header.
2-0

Almost 3-0 from Ruud.....we're on fire!
I never realised till i watched this game how fast Bellion really is. I only saw highlights last time.
The mans electric.

Just before that Diego goal, Lopez made an acrobatic save on a headed shot on goal. It was definitely going in the net.
Almost 3!
Forlan's played well outside the box...
Happy he scored.

Their coach looks mortified! What a picture!
America on the run, this will be a thrashing if they can't settle themselves.
Free kick goes in. Disalowed due to a push. In fairness the ref blowed before the ball was hit.
Late whistle stops our counter attack and they have a freekick in a dangerous position.
They score, but it won't count. I have no idea why.
It should be 2-1, but still 2-0.

Free kick goal disallowed by Ref. Foul called on Mexican player in the wall. Not so sure about that call... <img src="graemlins/nervous.gif" border="0" alt="[Nervous]" />
what changes did fergie make at half time?
They scored a beauty. Should have counted. Free kick from the edge of the area.

Ole wouldn't have missed that. Forlan did though
Great vision by Ruud but Forlan hits on the wrong side of the left post.
