Awesome news on multiple fronts.

[Rex Buckingham]

Howard named captain for USA v Jamaica

[USSoccer]

Dempsey back as a 2nd half sub for SSFC...

 

...he fricking hates it there. The only way his body language could express it more clearly is if he choked Yedlin to death with a scarf on the field. I'm sure he's glad he got paid, and I'm sure his family is happier stateside, but he looks like a miserable bastard on the field everytime I've seen him there for Seattle thus far.

So tomorrow are you more interested in the US match or the Mexico-Panama match?

Toss-up for me. I really want to see what happens if Mexico goes down a goal in the first half, mostly because I suspect it's that they'll destruct and that will be the end for them.

Me? Neither - there's a third match that interests me :wink:

Holland v Hungary? ;-)

Holland v Hungary? ;-)

 

:lol:

All eyes on Zagreb tonight.

8 WC Final berths can be clinched tonight: Belgium, Germany, Russia, Switzerland, Honduras, Chile, Colombia, Uruguay.

Croatia 0-2 Belgium at the half. If that result holds, it would bump Croatia out of the top 7 in FIFA in place of either Netherlands or Belgium, pending the result of the Netherlands game later.

:yahoo:

 

Bold prediction of the day: there will be a spike in the national beer consumption tonight. :D

 

That was a very impressive display.

Belgium win. Do we want Croatia eliminated in their playoff?

Doesn't count unless you mail me some Westy or Pannepot ;-).

Netherlands apparently really wants a seed.

I guarantee you there will be behind the scenes shenanigans at FIFA before 12/06 to get "appropriate" countries seeded :roll:

I was referring more to the 6-1 score of their match more than FIFA related shenanigans.

Ouch, Denmark.

You mean 8-1.

 

Almost expect Blatter to announce the groups he wants to play each other rather than having a live draw.

[shnsajax]

Columbia getting killed down 3-0 at home. Uruguay down 1-0 as well. The next set of rankings could be getting interesting.

[Guest]

Johannsson in the XI:

 

Howard; Evans, Cameron, Besler, Beasley; Bedoya, Diskerud, Jones, Donovan; Johannsson, Altidore

Would have been fun to have Bradley and Deuce available over Bedoya and Jones.

[CubInOK]

Please hold onto this lead HON.

[Guest]

We're playing like a team with nothing to play for.

So Mexico can only now tie for 3rd place right? And with only 4 goals scored they are pretty much eliminated.
