This plan would be even more brilliant if T&T wasn't on Mexico's side of the bracket.

Holy shit usa had the easiest route to the final of all time
The Caribbean teams have been over-performing, no one can take anything for granted going forward.
Yep.
That game is going to be hilarious, I just know it.
I have some news for you...

I have no idea what to make of Costa Rica. They have not won a game in 9 months.
Sorry, I got that wrong. This result is perfect since when Mexico faces T&T again at the Semifinal, they won't get overconfident and play defense harder. The best result I tell you!

El Piojo is full of sh*t, every word ge spews is just cr@p and more cr@p. The team is full of useless players who are there for merchandise, or because they play for the yellow chickens. Hopefully Costa Rica will put an end to this travesty.

It's a shame Haiti and Jamaica have to play each other. I like both those teams.
And the flare of the Caribbean nations may indeed give the shakey US defense some problems. I don't see Cuba upsetting us, but I definitely could see Jamaica giving us serious problems. They have the size, speed, and strength, and they're more organized than Haiti.
I just hope the US follows in the footsteps of our women's team and actually start improving during the knockout stages. The women finished the World Cup so strong that everyone forgot just how terribad they were in the group stages.

The men don't have Carli Lloyd, though, who is "Two-Face" like in her ability to determine the quality of every single touch via coin flip.

Taylor was hurt. Powell was rumored to be disgruntled with his PT.
The strange part is they are both defenders and Powell would have probably gotten more PT if he stayed.

That was awesome. Well deserved goal.

You best be right. If USA fails to make it to Atlanta it'll be another 500 years before I have a chance to see them play without flying halfway across the country.

Names of five Cuban players crossed out on official team sheet. Four defections had been reported as of yesterday.

Cuba must of only paid their security through the group stage.
I got Jamaica and US advancing. Also Panama and Mexico tomorrow.

Damn the stadium is empty. I know the game hasn't started yet but we're close to kick off.
Que tienes contra el America
Ugh really?
If so, maybe they shouldn't get another home game. There's enough locations that the US should always sell out imo.
God-tier game no lie. That cam easily be the best game so far.

Baltimore is fairly close to the DC Metro area and New York is not that far so I guess it is possible for a lot of Jamacians to be there.
TBH, the US v. Cuba game does not look to be that exciting of a match.

I think fox has the commentators mix a bit too low. It was fine during the pre game.

He looks like a botched Kompany clone and plays like one too.

It's an 80k person stadium. The crowd would fill a stadium designed for soccer.
