It's no secret that I hate Mexico.  It's also no secret that Mexico deserve it.

Today, at 3:00 PM Eastern, the dreaded El Tri takes on England in an international friendly at Wembley Stadium.  If you know anything about anything, you should understand why this is a big deal.

For those of you who don't:

Over the past 20 years, the US and Mexico have been the traditional powers in the CONCACAF.  In qualifying for this summer's tournament, the US finished top of the group, with Mexico in second place.  On June 12th, the US faces off against England in the first Group C match-up of the World Cup.

Today's friendly should serve as an excellent barometer for what the US needs to do on the 12th.  If you have access to a computer or a TV, I would suggest you watch.

In previous installments of Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, I've introduced you to a couple of guys who are traveling to South Africa this summer.  Today, we're getting to know another schlub like the rest of us, my older brother Ben, who will decidedly NOT be kicking it in Cape Town in June.

That doesn't mean he's not good for a few ridiculous opinions, though.

Fightin' Words.

Jozy Altidore has been talking some sheeeeeeit.

June 12th.  The proof is in the pudding.
