That was about 93 minutes of terrible soccer, I was shocked at Jamaica's lack of urgency and it nearly worked. Also I know we scored off of one, but I hate the constant short corners that we play.

agree on all counts, but I will always take the three points.

Mexico v CR game delayed 10 minutes because they CRicans left the hotel too late and the bus got lost and stuff.

EJ in place of Zusi. Cameron in place of Jones. Other than that, no changes to the lineup.

very not ideal switches. not much we can do though. hopefully those two don't blow dick.

the Ticos away fans have much better seats in the Azteca than we ever get.

JK has been using EJ at RM and he's played well there. And Cameron plays CDM for Stoke every now and then. This is what was expected. Probably what I would have done.

Costa Rica looks very good. Getting a point in Costa Rica would be huge for USMNT.

yup, get them in the Gold Cup group before then so hopefully we can get a decent look at them again in a month before we play them again in September.

lots of reasons

A lot of fans are not willing to travel thousands of miles for qualifiers
Most cities do not have enough soccer fans to go games
Most CONCACAF countries aren't sexy enough for casual sports fans to go to.
A lot of games you can't even play in big stadiums because they turn into away games so you put them in MLS stadiums to control the home field advantage.

Great TIFO tonight.

Poll

I'm thinking of wrecking threads everywhere until this shit gets fixed or I get banned, should I?
