Yeah me too, he's a dirty mcgross gross and he's terrible at soccer

13 min left and if the game holds pat El Tri are out!!

2-1 Panama

[MakeItRain]

Think I heard he's going back to England at some point. :(

He's under contract with ESPN and they don't have much inventory so he's likely to go to the UK and work for ESPN over there.

Also the Fox Sports production has been average at best and their talent is really bad. Gus is the best p-b-p guy they have and all of their analysts are bad, that studio show is meh too.

should this have been a penalty? i honestly could be swayed either way (it obviously was not called)

absolutely a penalty. super cheap shot. raises his elbow and lunges. there is absolutely no need for him to have his forearm in that position. super rough ridin' dirty.

i really enjoying beating the piss out of pud countries like hon. i like beating the piss out of mexico more but whatever, gotta do what you gotta do.

also, how much of this recent success is due to klinsmann? i say a lot of it. he is definitely looking like the right hire. also, i love that he got kicked out last night. the players must rough ridin' love him.

[mocat]

yeah but he did a really good job of playing it off like that was just where his elbow was

[Tobias]

it was in the 17th minute - right or not it's a crapshoot to get a call on something like that.  a little more troubling to me was the "ramping up" effect later in the game as the whistle continued to be swallowed.  there was some pretty reckless behavior in the last ten minutes or so that went unchecked

like i said, super dirty.

also Klinmann is phenomenal. i've never understood why people weren't ready to give him a chance. there should have been no doubt that he would succeed, just questions as to when. i'm frankly extremely surprised he has gotten the team playing this high caliber of an offense this early on. i didn't think we could install the system he has in place before the world cup.

was absolutely asinine. those refs should be banned.
