Go T&T!

I don't know why but I have been expecting a crappy lineup for this game. WTF Casey is doing starting is beyond me. I'm just hoping for an early goal and they can some how hang on for a draw.

Casey & Pavon instead of Altidore and Suazo. Lol.

The propaganda commercials on this Honduras TV are both funny and a bummer reminder that they pretty much in Civil War right now. I really wouldn't be shocked in the ref is in the Honduran President's pocket in this game. He needs a win for patriotism's last gasp in his regime.

I was actually just thinking this exact thing.

 

Also, it blows that I'm watching a WCQ from an interweb stream. Stupid CONCACAF.

 

For the record, I think we get stomped tonight, like 3-0

[USSoccer]

I really would not want to be in San Pedro Sula tonight. This is the definition of "atmosphere"

[wolf stansson]

Honduras is bringing the pain. Tackle on Landon should have been a card.

[wolf stansson]

How long has it been since we scored on a set piece?

 

The rough play from Honduras continues.

[USSoccer]

Holden is showing why he's a backup at this point tonight. Lots of running around looking busy but not accomplishing anything.

 

The foul on LD should have been a yellow at least.

[wolf stansson]

Casey isn't up for this. If we're going to play a crappy forward who scores for fun in MLS, at least call in the one with at least one intl level skill; Cunningham's speed.

a 4-5-1 with Benny or Torres in it would have been a better choice than plugging in Casey for Jozy.

GREAT clearance by Gooch.

I was hoping to see Torres, but wonder how effective he would be in a very physical match. Still having someone who would help with possession would be nice. We need a miracle match from Howard tonight.

[USSoccer]

We're getting overrun on the wings.

[USSoccer]

How did Costly miss that?

 

This ish is going to come down to Wednesday. And if so, BB might have been better off holding Jozy out and shutting Deuce down for this one.

[wolf stansson]

Costly misses a sitter. Left wing continues to be weak.

[wolf stansson]

Davies misses a sitter.

[wolf stansson]

I'm pretty sure the Honduran color guy just laughed at Casey's pathetic cross.

[shnsajax]

Davies misses a sitter.

 

I can't get a feed to work for more than a minute. How easy was it, Ives chat made it sound like a great save then he shot the rebound over the goal?

 

I would have gladly taken 0-0 at the half, but it sucks to hear a chance like that was missed. Though they have missed too it sounds like.

Mexico struggling. It's wonderful

[wolf stansson]

Mexico struggling. It's wonderful

Mexico won.

 

The Davies goal was just that. A blistering header deflected straight back to him about waist high that he tried to volley and went over.

[USSoccer]

Mexico struggling. It's wonderful

 

What?

[USSoccer]

1-0 Honduras on a DeLeon goal. All my streams are now dead.

[wolf stansson]

I lost my feed but Honduras just went up 1-0.
