That was just a slaughter. A lot of solid young talent, especially Torres and Mix.

I am totally liking Diskerud. Great field vision. He even tracked back on defense after corners to cover for Goodson.

Gotta give it to Donovan. He totally knew what he was doing with those sunglasses. Right in front of a bunch of El Salvadorans throwing stuff at him.... classic. LOL.

Dude it was glorious! The Mexicans were so mad. A lot of stuff was thrown on the field. And all Chepo could do was watch as yet again his team could not finish!

Ticket prices are plummeting. I checked right around the end of the game, cheapest tickets were $50. This morning, $20. A lot of cocky Mexicans getting rid of their seats!

Single biggest news since the Gold Cup began:

apparently John Anthony Brooks has accepted an invite to play with the USMNT against Bosnia and Herzegovina next month. That is absolutely huge news. While it would not captie him you would have to think if he impresses at CB that he will get called in for qualifying to do so.

I saw the offer was extended by Klinsmann but haven't seen where he accepted. DO you have a linK?

EDIT: So with everyone reporting that he was called up I guess that means he has agreed to play?

It's in German, I had to translate it haha.

Hertha einigt sich mit Schulz - Bundesliga - kicker online

"Similar to Schulz also homegrown John Anthony Brooks faces his Bundesliga debut. The central defender, who is in the 2nd League had been established as a regular force, received as Preetz confirmed also by coach Jurgen Klinsmann an invitation to international match against the USA in Sarajevo Bosnia (August 14).

Brooks has already completed several appearances for Man U machinations of the United States. "The appointment will give him a boost and we hope that he takes his good performances of the season in the Bundesliga second division. Gives us a perspective very interesting young players," Preetz explained."

Preetz is their director of sport. It doesn't say in the first paragraph that he accepted it, so my mistake, but in the second it sure sounds like Preetz is assuming that he is going.

Gold Cup final in half an hour. Shame Klinsmann won't be on the pitch, hopefully U.S. pulls off the victory without him. Klinsmann received a ton of criticism earlier in his tenure, but it sure seems he has the team going in the right direction now. U.S. soccer definitely needed some reshuffling and the early bumbs in the road may have led to a brighter future.

Pretty pumped for this final. I'm expecting a very, very pro-American crowd.

No surprises really in the starting 11 other than Bedoya and Corona are the starting wingers and Holden is starting over Diskerud.

Well U.S. absolutely dominated possession. Had a couple good first half chances. Donovan just was not able to locate the ball in time on one. The other was just a wasted opportunity by Bedoya. Hopefully the goals will come in the second half, but Panama is pretty tough along the back line. Going to have to cash in when we get an opportunity.

Eddie Johnson needs to step up. If he doesn't score by the 70th I think Wondo should come on

We dominated possession, but need that final ball. Everything seems too slow with passing to the open area. Shame Holden had to leave.
