GOOOOAAALLLLL!!!!!

The NFL was recently whining about how efforts to penetrate the Hispanic market have yet to yield any fruit. Please. They are up against the ‘beautiful game’, and there is no competition.

The USA, even without the aid of the soon to arrive Beckham, beat Mexico 2 nill at the University of Pheonix stadium. Jimmy Conrad headed home a corner kick by Donovan in the 52nd minute, beating goalkeeper Oswaldo Sanchez inside the left post. It was the first international goal for Conrad, playing in his 19th game for the Americans, and the 24th career assist for Donovan, the U.S. career leader.

Donovan added the clincher in the 90th minute off a pass by Ricardo Clark. The two teams were playing in front of a heavily pro-Mexican sellout crowd of 64,462.
