Oh That Voodoo That You Do

How bad does Mexico want to beat the U.S. in a World Cup qualifying match? This bad:

MEXICO CITY (AP) - A Mexican sports daily is pinning its hopes of beating the United States in a World Cup qualifying match on voodoo. Mexico is play the United States on Feb. 11 in Columbus, Ohio, in the first match of the last round of the CONCACAF qualifying. Mexico has not won at the United States in a decade.

The Record sports newspaper is encouraging readers to take part with a headline Tuesday that reads: "Help end the losing streak so Mexico advances."

Readers are instructed to cut out a page and take it to an electronics store in exchange for a U.S. team voodoo doll.

Just make the U.S. team drink the water. That will do a lot more to them than the voodoo will.
