US/Mexico notes

  • Landon Donovan on the US/Mexico rivalry:
    "It's not just another game for me," said Donovan. "I clearly, absolutely, desperately want to beat them.

    "I just don't like the talking, I don't like the mannerisms, I don't like the way they treat us and the way they don't respect us," said Donovan. "I want that to change and I'm going to try and be a big part of that on Saturday."
  • Donovan stirs the pot even more in this Register piece. Watch your knees tonight, Landon.

  • The San Diego Union-Tribune on what passes for a home-field advantage.

  • AP on the Mexican perspective. Apparently the Tricolores are "unusually confident" heading in:
    MEXICO CITY (AP) - With a World Cup berth virtually assured, Mexico seems almost relaxed heading into Saturday's qualifier in the United States.

    Forward Jorge Borgetti told local reporters he not only wanted to win, but to do it with the flair.
    But you can say much the same for the Americans, can you not?

  • Finally, a look at what's at stake from the AP.
