OHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

 

[DominoKid]

no pen!!!!

that looked painful as shit for Onyewu though.

 

[Nesotenso]

Great Strike. Corona hasn't been good on the wing but that finish was great.

 

[CobbFC09]

Surprised to see no foul called on the initial play, but after seeing the replay Gooch got the ball as the Cuban player dove.

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

Looked absolutely a penalty at first, but the replay showed Onyewu getting his foot to the ball and out of his path before the Cuban went down. I'll have to see it again, but it looked like the ball even fell to another American defender before Ciprian landed.

 

[CobbFC09]

Here's another look at Joe Corona's goal:

 

[ActStriker]

Wondo!!!

 

[GhostWriter24]

WONDO IS NO JOKE

Really crisp pass from Becks too...

 

[DominoKid]

shitting on em.

 

[Nesotenso]

gotta give credit where it is due. Wondo is always at the right place. consistently good movement.

Nice finish as well

 

[PG2G]

First time watching soccer in a while, not as boring as I remember. Will watch again.

 

[NoRéN]

Nice finish as well

And in two games running. That aone is already more consistent than was is typical for US strikers.

 

[Toothpick]

Really impressed by Wondo's finishing inside the box lately. He reminds me of Chicharito haha

 

[sazabirules]

I always thought Wondolowski would do well for the US. in his early appearances he would always be put up as the lone forward and not get any service.

 

[CobbFC09]

So apparently Wondo asked for another "W" to be put on his jersey and it's working!

Jesse Bignami ‏@jessebignami
After the last match @ChrisWondo asked for 3 "W's" on all his jerseys moving forward. Here you go! @ussoccer

 

[Nesotenso]

have to bury that

 

[ActStriker]

Fox has alot of big graphics that blocks things

 

[DominoKid]

wondo stat padding lol.

 

[GhostWriter24]

Alright, put Wondo on the A team. Same w/ Donovan, Holden, Onyewu, Disk.

I'm on the fence w/ Beckerman.

 

[CobbFC09]

wondo stat padding lol.

More like potentially booking his ticket to Brazil next year.

 

[Nesotenso]

Torres has been marginally better than Shea when it comes to the crosses from the left side.

 

[Cousteau]

Football game then

 

[CobbFC09]

Good stuff again from Wondo. Really curious to see how he does against better competition though.

Tuesday's game against Costa Rica will be much, much tougher than these two have been. On to the quarterfinals we go!

Definitely. If he can be this good against Costa Rica that will be impressive.

So glad to see Landon back and just as good!

 

[Nesotenso]

easy run of games. First half here was atrocious. Games now will tell you more.

LM need to figure it out. RB and LB spots as well. Happy for Corona on his first goal.

 

[daoster]

Kinda disturbing to see both Belize and Cuba score on us... That weakness will probably bite us in the ass later in the tourney

nobody is dislodging Besler and Omar right now. Pray for healthy Chandler, Dolo, Johnson and Beasley next summer.

 

[sneakypete]

Haven't watched the game yet as I've been at work all day, but it seems Castillo gifted a goal? Why I never..

Edit: Was on my phone, apologies for the giganto-pic.

It was a poor clearance that gave him the opportunity, but he made the most of it with a beautiful curling shot. Also that picture is going to give me nightmares.

Galarcep and Greg Seltzer both reporting this morning that the Dempsey rumor is bogus. More info here.

Good to know. I want this funny season to be over with already!

- Klinsmann's quotes regarding tomorrow's match.

 

[Cornballer]

The US faces off against Costa Rica this evening in their final group match.

U.S. Men vs. Costa Rica
Rentschler Field; East Hartford, Conn.
July 16, 2013 @ 8 p.m. ET
FOX Soccer, UniMas, Univision Deportes

Galarcep's projection:

———Chris Wondolowski———Landon Donovan—————–

Edgar Castillo————-Stuart Holden——————–Joe Corona

—————————-Kyle Beckerman——————————–

DaMarcus Beasley————————————Michael Parkhurst

—————Clarence Goodson——–Oguchi Onyewu—————–

—————————–Nick Rimando———————————-

Wondo did the press conference with Klinsmann yesterday, so there's a good chance he gets the start tonight.

 

[Ninja Beagle]

Haven't watched much of this Cup so is Costa Rica using it's A team tonight?

It's a B/B+ team, iirc. They're missing a few starters from their first choice lineup.

 

[Clydefrog]

It's been a fun week to be a USMNT fan but now we get to see a real test! Let's do this!

 

[CobbFC09]

Grant Wahl ‏@GrantWahl
USA lineup: Johnson; Parkhurst, Orozco, Goodson, Beasley; Holden, Diskerud; Bedoya, Donovan, Torres; Wondolowski.

Can't wait to see how Wondo does this game.

Seriously, it'll be interesting to see how he does against a decent team. I'm glad Mix is getting play time, I really like him.

 

[Clydefrog]

oooh dat lineup

holy fuck where's beckerman?

 

[talisayNon]

BEAST COAST time too! Looks like real recognize real

 

[CobbFC09]

oooh dat lineup

holy fuck where's beckerman?

I imagine he's either resting or just swapping some players in and out. No Rimando either.

 

[Cornballer]

 

[Clydefrog]

Holden looks like he's 12 years old in that photo

 

[Cornballer]

Still better than Bedoya's picture.

EDIT:

So with a win/draw, #USMNT wins Group C & plays El Salvador in quarters. A loss means U.S. faces Honduras.

 

[R10Neymarfan]

Sounds good

 

[Pristine_Condition]

I'm distracted by Heather Mitts' thighs. Yum.

 

[Cornballer]

Screw you, Joe Buck. I'm sticking with the US team.

 

[Nesotenso]

Cobi Jones is a terrible announcer.

Definitely need a mute button for him.

 

[Cornballer]

Yeah, this is a little bit of a different story than the last three games the US has played.
