Although the majority of the Liga MX players in the World Cup are with the Mexican national team, there are ten other Mexico-based players participating in Brazil. They’re representing Uruguay, Argentina, Ecuador, and the United States, and you can keep track of their involvement, results, and upcoming games here.

Group G – United States

Puebla’s DaMarcus Beasley, playing in his fourth World Cup, started and went the full 90 for the United States against Germany this afternoon, as he did in their previous games against Portugal and Ghana.

Both the U.S. and Germany only needed a draw to advance, but they did not come to play for the draw. Both teams created scoring chances, although Germany created more. The halftime score was 0-0, but Germany found a breakthrough early in the second half, when a Tim Howard rebound fell perfectly for Thomas Müller.

The U.S. kept fighting until the last minute for an equalizer, while Germany continued pushing forward looking for a second goal. Miroslav Klose is searching for the goal that will make him the all-time leading goalscorer in the World Cup, but neither he nor his teammates were able to put the ball into the net again. The U.S. created two good goal-scoring opportunities in stoppage time, but they too were unable to capitalize.

With the other Group G game finishing 2-1 in favor of Portugal, the U.S. advanced despite the loss as they owned the goal-difference tiebreaker with the Europeans.
