Looks like Poland is bunkering the rest of this game and taking their chances they'll beat the Czech Republic.

I think this stream might work for the US game: http://www.atdhe24.net/watch2/0/172/417358/watch-guatemala-vs-usa.html

I was watching their canada v honduras feed earlier just fine. Not responsible for any potential malware.

Johnson: healthy. Donovan: sloppy. Jones: feisty. Guatemala: floppy.

[wolf stansson]

We're dominating, but still too many back passes. Build up to the 18 & slooowly retreat.

[wolf stansson]

Oh yeah, happy cap tie to Fab. He's an unbelievably lucky find for us.

[wolf stansson]

Fab to Deuce! Dirty, sexy goal. Champagne football as Ray Hudson might say.

[wolf stansson]

We give him [expletive], but Edu has been immense as the deep sweeper. His one NSBB Soccer Thread Approved position.

El Salvador just equalized with Mexico midway through the 2nd half. Hex could be more difficult than usual this cycle, especially with Panama looking good.

[bukie]

Mexico scores again to go up 2-1 in El Salvador, and that could just about do it for El Salvador's chances for the hex (since they already lost at Costa Rica).

[wolf stansson]

Holy [expletive], Ruiz just missed an automatic sitter. Got away with one there!

[wolf stansson]

Howard has been excellent. MOTM, by far.

[wolf stansson]

[expletive]. Free kick goal. 1-1. [expletive] you Marco Pappa.

 

Right after a blown non continuance with Jozy free on goal.

[wolf stansson]

Bradley in alone on goal passes it to no one. Dammit. Jozy checked his run for no reason.

[wolf stansson]

This team is gassed. AGAIN.

[USSoccer]

Garbage performance.

 

No excuse for Jozy checking his run there. No excuse for JK not using his subs.

[wolf stansson]

We didn't deserve that draw. Like, at all.

[USSoccer]

This game is a whatever.

 

I watched Clint get punched basically in the balls for an entire 2nd half, no call. But guess who scored when he got his chance? That's [expletive] right, haters.

 

I watched Donovan refuse to take on defenders, yet again. You don't have the passion anymore? Quit the national team, bitch. Stop wasting your god-given talent.

 

Whatever, though. We;re top of the group, and a home and home with [expletive] Jamaica is next. If we can't beat them both legs we don't deserve [expletive].

The Netherlands vs Germany game later today is something to look forward to; the nerves of Dutch fans will get tested though.

[wvcbxl]

Some people are having fun before the game :lol:

blitzkrieg

[jersey cubs fan]

was that sloth in attendance?

[USSoccer]

I never thought I'd see Ronaldo looking like Josh Wolff in front of goal, but there you go.

 

Holland are done. Sneijder was the only one who played with urgency. van Persie looks suddenly inept in front of goal.

[Guest]

Pirlo's free kick might be the best placed set piece shot I've ever seen.

[Mark Priors Calves]

ROI makes me sad.

[bukie]

Only two teams in Euro history have scored in the first 5 minutes of each half of a match: Spain v Ireland in 2012, and....Croatia v Ireland in 2012.
