oh geez I almost had a heart attack when they didn't call those two guys who were way offsides right away

Not sure how the announcers didn't see it. Looked pretty obvious to me.

Leander Schaarlaekens is going on about the US players and their poor body language. Confirmed? Heat or crowd?

[Guest]

Jones is taking corners? Okay?

[Guest]

The official no longer seems to care if our players get knocked to the ground. This doesn't bode well for our chances to score.

Omar, Howard is out of the net, you get the ball out of dodge, and quickly.

And now the Honduras "injuries" begin.

Why does Bein Sport pan to the crowd/show replays when the ball is in play?

[wolf stansson]

Tim Chandler's all like, "first I made you want me, now you're stuck with me and now I'll make you HATE me."

Welp, gotta beat Costa Rica now.

Finally finished watching the DVRd game after my daughter went to bed.

 

Apparently the heat turned them all into 54 year olds with bad hips. And that defense was a clown car, all game long. Horrible.

 

1-1 would have been fine. Deuce had the look and that guy barely gets his foot in the way. After that, it was just a matter of time before one of the numerous mental mistakes caught up to them.

 

BTW, it was nice that BeIN Espanol decided to have the English language broadcast on, but BeIn's production blows.

[USSoccer]

Oh, and Tim Chandler, Fabian Johnson and Danny Williams were the worst players on the pitch-Chandler by a fricking mile. He was so, so bad.

Mexico-Jamaica 0-0 in injury time at the Azteca right now. Three minutes left.

 

Panama-Costa Rica tied 2-2 in Panama.

[CubInOK]

Donovan Ricketts is about to earn Jamaica a point pretty much by himself. Also 6:00 of stoppage for this half is just stupid.

Pretty much the perfect results after our loss. Plus a good reminder on just how difficult the matches are going to be this cycle.

I'm torn. I love seeing Mexico held to a tie but they're probably going to qualify anyway. Jamaica's one we'll be competing with and that's one point that we're probably not going to get.

 

The other game, though, I completely agree. Too bad we couldn't get a draw today.

[shnsajax]

Makes sense too. I'm just hoping for more early disconnect with Mexico like they had in 2009. I think the games vs Jamaica last year should prep us enough for what to expect.

[USSoccer]

This year's Hex is really strong. Jamaica finally found some defenders; they look good.
