I think England's World Cup hopes took a hit today with Ukraine beating Montenegro. It looks good on the surface, but Ukraine still has 2 games left with San Marino, and one being their only road match. Ukraine is in prime position to win the group as long as they don't screw up against Poland. Montenegro still is in a good place. England-Montenegro at Wembley in October could be winner takes all.

The Three Lions just need to call up "Old Reliable..."

playing very well early

 

[notredomer23]

Altidore with the header!

USA 1-0 in the 30th minute

 

[GowerND11]

Beautiful cross and GREAT finish. USA USA USA!

 

[mgriff]

That was close.

 

[notredomer23]

Really missing Timmy Chandler and Cherundolo... and Bocanegra...

Announcers were talking about Zusi going out if Lando comes back...yea right. Put Lando on the left and let him cut in. Fabian Johnson hasn't done it for me. He's supposed to be a LB but Hoffenheim play him at LM.

Fabian Johnson played well at LB if I recall when he did play there for us... Zusi has definitely solidified himself. Honestly, I was never a huge fan of Donovan. I'd like him to come back, but if he doesn't, I don't think it will hurt us.

I'd really like to see a defense of Timmy Chandler, Fabian Johnson, Oguchi Onyewu, and I can't even think of a fourth. None of them are doing it for me. I do like what Evans brings to the table, though.

Gonzalez and Besler showed up at the Azteca. Gonzalez is our future without a doubt. He's got it all. Many think he'll be making the jump to Europe soon, and that's what we need; American players competing in the best leagues in the world.

Zusi is so solid.

Agree so much with the bolded. Really can't wait to see this guy continue to grow.

Agreed. It's just frustrating to watch our defense as a whole sometimes that I forget there are bright spots. It has been less than stellar tonight.

Jermaine Johnson is blowing right by Beasley...

FTFY

I hear you man. It's rough. Watching proper football throughout the year and then watching my country play like Stoke...

 

[GowerND11]

GOD DAMN SET PIECE DEFENSE!

 

[notredomer23]

[mgriff]

So very ****ing typical.

 

[mgriff]

OOOOOOoooooooh

 

[notredomer23]

LETS ****ING GO

 

[mgriff]

SO NOT VERY ****ING TYPICAL

 

[GowerND11]

Thank sweet baby Jesus. GOAL!

 

[mgriff]

I ****ing love Deuce but Michael Bradley should be our captain. So ****ing composed.

 

[ACamp1900]

Can I get score updates for all things holy??

 

[GowerND11]

2-1 USA won.

Altidore scored in the 30th minute. Jamaica scored in like the 88th minute. Evans scored off a calm and collected Bradley pass in Stoppage Time.

 

[notredomer23]

Huge Win. No other way to put it.

 

[mgriff]

****ing A right doggy. Brad Evans, USMNT journeyman CB/RB with a smooth slot into the side netting. Gorgeous.

 

[notredomer23]

Honestly havn't been that pumped over a goal since Algeria... Sole possession atop the table, with two home games coming up.

 

[GowerND11]

Such a big win. My dad was very confused why I was yelling into a computer screen, especially over soccer haha.

Tied with Mexico and Costa Rica at the top with a game up on Mexico. Judging by the last 2 years, 9 points away from a World Cup bid.
