Disappointed in the performance of Tim Howard. He had a lot of bad decisions and plays.

Agreed. The whole defense was this team's weakness today, but I suspect that is many team's weakness against Germany. Omar Gonzalez and Besler I thought both played quite poorly.

I also hope Fabian Johnson's hammy is okay. He is quickly becoming a favorite for me.

It's not that surprising with how bad this England team is. They'll be lucky to qualify for the WC.

Brazil should be the favorite. They've easily got the best backline in all of soccer, and their young talent is tough to match. The inevitable Spain-Brazil Confederations Cup championship will show how far the Brazil team has come since they played like *** in South Africa.

Alright, tell me how you feel about England and Brazil tying 2-2 in Rio... From the stats, Brazil dominated, but Hart and the defense held strong. England didn't have many shots, but put the ones away when they needed to.

Good game by England. Neymar didn't do well from what I've read, and it's impressive to get a result in Brazil against Brazil. They'll need this momentum to carry over into WCQ if they are going to beat out Ukraine for 2nd in the group.

Alex Morgan is nice.

She has so many nice angles. I'd like to hit it twice myself...

I think just about anybody would.

I'd hit it once for everyday of the week and then twice on sundays...

Huge match tonight. A draw here isn't a bad outcome, considering its on the road, but a win would go a long way, especially since I think all but one of the remaining qualifiers is at home.

A draw isn't bad, but they've dropped points at home. I'd like to see us maximize our point takeaway. Maybe they circle the wagons after Mexico and they usually play us tough. We struggle with their pace on the wings at times. 'Murica!

Pretty sure we lost to Jamaica last time we played them. Definitely a team we struggle against at times. It will be interesting to see how they come out after the huge W over Germany. A W would be great, if they can win by 2+, that will go a long way with goal differential, which in reality really shouldn't matter for us.

Getting our best forward (outside of Dempsey) a goal against Germany was huge. Jozy is a specimen. I love what he's doing in the Eredivise, but the Dutch League is a notoriously poor barometer of a striker's capability. For every Suarez and Van Nistelrooy success there are far more Alves and Kezman type flops. So I don't think he's a world beater, but he's the best we've got and he's better than he's been playing. That weight is off his shoulders and he can now go in with confidence to the important fixtures for WCQ.

If they get a win I think we can put a lot of this "not gonna qualify" talk to bed... they are not gonna lose nearly all of their home games...

Hell yea three points would be huge for our psyche as well.

If I read correctly the game is not being televised. Is that correct? Anybody know where I can watch even if it is online (ESPN3, etc.)?

 

[ACamp1900]

It freakin kills me that they put on international friendlies with Italy and France or England and Ireland... just random Euro teams and they show ALL of Mexico's matches but they really show maybe a little over half of the USA qualifier matches...

You can’t tell me people want to watch Spain and Belgium in a tune up game more than USA in a meaningful one.

It's on BEin tv for comcast if you get it. Otherwise there is (Slipstream is down) and firstrowsportz which is a bad gateway now. It's FirstRow Live Football Stream | Watch Live Football Online | Live Soccer Stream

ESPN owns the rights to all of the USMNT and the bastards to the south's home games, but any game in another country essentially will be unwatchable. You will have to watch it online most likely. frontrowsports.eu or stream2watch.org will be what I am using tonight.

You're thinking of firstrow.eu. I know because I typed frontrowsports.eu for a long time. It's on BEin Sports as well. I have Comcast. It's not standard but if you have sports I think it's included.

Do you have problems with those sites and spam/virus/slow down on your computer... I would love to watch more Celtic games but my expereince is the online sites are either unrealible or loaded with stuff that kills computers.

If you have a decent antivirus you're fine. They are really just more of a nuisance getting past the ads. You can't really complain though because these people consolidate links from the net and embed them on their site, all day every day, and that's the only income they get.

Are you Mac or PC? I have a macbook and I have had zero issues with stream2watch or frontrow. You get pop ups, and it might take a couple minutes your first time to figure out what advertisements you are going to have to ex out so you can actually see the screen, but I have had zero issues. Every single sporting event in the world they pretty much have.

Any predictions on the scoreline? I am going with 3-1 USA with a goals by Altidore, Dempsey, and Bradley.

It should have been put to bed when we got a point in Mexico.

1-1.
