Regardless of the outcome, the way we play Tuesday will not be an indictment on us because, like hendo said, we are without our best striker, best mid, and best centerback.

Once those guys are back, we will go back to the way we have played during the streak, for now, we just need to win

I see your points and agree with them. Missing the guys we are missing we could definitely use that as a reason to bunker and counter. That being said, our talent/depth is supposed to be deeper than ever right now. Even with the loss of those guys we should still be able to field a team of guys willing/able to attack and create chances, especially at home.
Now dont get me wrong, I want 3 points Tuesday as much as everyone else does. I just would rather see us come out and put the mexicans on their back foot right out the gate, instead of trying to absorb pressure and counter.

If Argentina lost Messi, Aguero and Maxi Rodriguez, they'd have to drastically change tactics as well.

Not many teams can lose three of their better players and still not miss a beat. It's Spain, maybe Germany and that's about it.

Unless you're Spain (and maybe a couple of other elite teams), you're not shoving the ball up any Mexican team's arse for 90 minutes.

You can also be disciplined and look to exploit your opponent on the counter without being Greece.
