Usually losses/draws but they're of the 1-0 variety in the Copa America against Uruguay and Argentina. They beat USA 2-1 in last WC Qualifying campaign and held mexico to 0-0 draw in Azteca.

If it wasn't for a late USA rally in the last WC qualifying campaign, it would have been Panama and not Mexico at the World Cup; assuming Panama also would beat New Zealand.

and if chris wondoloski were good usa would have at least gotten 4th in the WC. USA recently beat germany... USA routinely beats mexico, as of late, and mexico spanked jamaca at the gold cup. Also the unfairness in the mexico v panama game was the referees gifting mexico the win.
