2-0 now.

Brilliant throughpass by Jeffrey (Club Brugge 8-) ) to set up the chance.

Jeffrey any good? I don't know much about him.

I'm recording the match, looking forward to watching now on my lunch break. This would put them in a good position to advance.

[shnsajax]

Wow, 3-0 now. Sounds like a real nice shot to make it 3 too.

Young and learning. Has potential as a hard worker in midfield, but still a lot of mistakes in his passing.

 

ETA: his new coach at Brugge (Adrie Koster) should be ideal, as his previous position was with Young Ajax.

If indeed it was intended as a shot.

The goalkeeper did look silly on it though.

3-1 after a Cameroon penalty, but near the end.

4-1 USA !!!

(assist by Jeffrey 8-) after good interference work by him)

4 yellows in a 20 minute period is not good for the US as Ownby is going to miss the South Korea match.

 

4-1 now, Ownby scores.

Game over - well deserved win for team USA.

I thought they did a good job controlling the game.

Sound like a typical American player. Athletic w/ lots of hustle but low on skill.

[wolf stansson]

Lol, that Duka goal was awesome.

looked like he was shooting all the way to me.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Didn't Guevara get a second yellow?

[wolf stansson]

Didn't Guevara get a second yellow?

As well as Turcios. That's their roster for the next two.

The Arshavin goal yesterday was nice even though he was a step offsides. I really like the pace at which he plays, and how far back he is tracking on defense. He is fitting in very well.

I don't know why but I hate him. If I was marking him, I'd just want to crush him like a tiny little bug.

I really like him, but he is small and looks even smaller on the pitch. The game at Anfield last season pretty much sold me on him.

First thought: What is the US doing sending a bunch of players I never heard of down for a crucial tie with Honduras?

 

Second thought: Man, I really need to get some more sleep.

Gooch debuts in the 59th. This is when we all knew he'd start to get some burn. Fixture congestion and injuries starting to pile up.

Christiano Ronaldo is good, United is resilient and AC Milan sucks hard.

I was thinking the same thing while watching the game. They should enjoy this trip to the Champions League as they won't be back next year.

[USSoccer]

Christiano Ronaldo is good, United is resilient and AC Milan sucks hard.

 

I still question how United is doing this.

 

Soccer Jesus is amazing.

 

Milan are terrible. That roster is old and past it.

From what I have watched Giggs is having a pretty great season so far. I didn't know it but today was his 150th goal with United.
