JK's subs worked.

holy crap Castillo

 

[CobbFC09]

JK's subs worked.

They indeed were the difference in the game.

USA perfect at home too.

USA is 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup champs and #1 in the Hex! What a great year for US Soccer.

I think the Guardian first mentioned soccer players not getting exit visas. Things like these are worse for the South Asian migrant laborers. The GCC countries have terrible immigration policies.

 

[Nesotenso]

for the game itself, the lethargic start was worrying. I thought the lineup was good but maybe the formation wasn't right. Subbing LD was for probably sending him a message but he will come good. Wish Bacon put away his opportunities. Team needs to be more fired up and consistent to make noise in Brazil.

 

[NoRéN]

Aron Jóhannsson: somewhat unimpressive.

Overall weak display. Really wanted to see some dominant play.

 

[Cornballer]

Much better 2nd half after the subs. Good to see a couple of guys demanding the ball. Will be interesting to see who Klinsmann puts out against Panama on Tuesday.

View in the stadium:

 

[ActStriker]

Almost time for Mexico v Panama on ESPNNews. go Panama

 

[Gamecocks625]

Did Mexico lose tonight?

1st in the Hex. Love it.

Did Mexico lose tonight?

They haven't played yet, they start in 10 minutes.

 

[ActStriker]

1st in the Hex. Love it.

Did Mexico lose tonight?

They're just about to start playing

 

[Nesotenso]

can anyone translate for me what Howard says in the vine video ussoccer posted ?

Also I hope Aron gets another start.

Figures they scored the goals after I had to stop watching

I got home from work and my DVR didn't even tape the game!

 

[ActStriker]

Damn, Mexico scored

 

[ActStriker]

Panama goal!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Judderman]

Panama goal!!!!!!!!!!

Brace for riots.

 

[cruets]

mexico on suicide watch

 

[ActStriker]

Chicharito's PK miss is absolutely huge now

 

[ActStriker]

holy shit that bicycle kick

 

[Sr Kitsune]

Hey, goal.

 

[jamesinclair]

Goal of the fucking century

 

[Judderman]

Holy shit, that was nice.

 

[Nesotenso]

That bicycle kick goal was nice.

 

[Mindlog]

All the credit in the world. Brilliant clutch goal.

 

[Nesotenso]

need some help identifying something.

What's the song playing in the stadium when Allen Hopkins starts speaking in this video ?

[Clydefrog]

grats, mexico. that was an amazing goal.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

It'll be interesting to see what type of tactics and lineups JK deploys against Panama. That's a match Panama HAS to win so they'll surely be desperate and aggressive early.

 

[Cornballer]

ESPN:

Per a US Soccer release, Donovan, Besler, Jones, & Howard have been released back to their clubs. #usmnt

 

[Meier]

ESPN:

Are we even gonna have a full bench? Sheesh.

 

[Cornballer]

Man...what a busy weekend.

If anyone cares, here's a short/crappy video of the "Victory Lap" the players took. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abghtp4NeCo

Also, here's a couple images I snapped. I was too busy watching the game to get anymore. Muffuggin' lazers and shit! http://imgur.com/a/2Gb7y#0

What a great experience. I can't wait to do it again. Going to see about traveling to the next one that's in driving distance.

 

[NoRéN]

ESPN:

Maybe Klinnsman secretly wants to give Panama a winning chance and hopes Costa Rica can win against Mexico. Just for laughs, of course.

Hope Bob gets them into the world cup. That country needs something everyone can rally around.

ESPN's Soccer Power Index says there's a 0.003% chance #USMNT gets a World Cup seed, about 1 in 32,000.

Response 1:

Response 2:

Also, early roster rumblings for next Summer:

Per @rogbennett, 10 pencilled into Jurgen's 23: Altidore, Besler, Bradley, Cameron, Dempsey, Gonzalez, Goodson, Guzan, Howard, Jones.

6-1 Egypt need a miracle

 

[Cornballer]

I thought they might have a chance when it went 2-1, but Ghana scored again just before and after HT.


Altidore will be captaining the USMNT tonight.
