USA - Panama Match Thread

[PoppyHart]

Great goal, especially when you consider Eddie Johnson is approximately 137 years old.

(Imagine my shock learning just now that he's 4 years younger than me...it feels like he's been around FOREVER)

I was about to reply that he's younger than Donovan and Beasley.

Can't wait to have 10 points and bump Mexico to third place. I would love to have our berth locked up and have them needing to beat us to get in.

We have a game in hand on Mexico as well.

We hang on here and there's pretty much zero chance we don't get a World Cup berth, right? Unless we just completely crap out and lose the rest of our matches, which won't happen?

Need to go 2-2-1 in last 5 to be certain.

Do you guys hear the chants in the crowd? - You're not going, you're not going, you're not going to Brazil.

It was, We are going to Brazil!!!

It was, We are going to Brazil!!!

First the crowd was taunting Panama with 'You're not going to Brazil!'.
Then they switched up the chant to 'We are going to Brazil!'

Oh my god, what a beautiful try by Dempsey!
Hit the crossbar, wow that was sick.

 

[PeteCalvin]

Wow, was that ever close! You could see the keeper give a big sigh of relief.

Impressive. Seeing how he plays for my club I'll add: COYS!

Yellow card for the dive! Ahahahahahaha.
Not enough that this junk is now ruining other sports. So clownish.
I hate the dive.

 

[orangeinohio]

What a great crowd!

 

[Orangezoo]

[mountaincuse]

[SUfaninAZ]

Yup, some sort of chemistry forming that we haven't seen in a long while. Starting to come together and their passing looks crisp, really giving each other opportunities.

That's why I don't watch pro bb anymore...

 

[Toga]

When do yellow cards come off a player?

 

[tee1222]

Exactly. People should start throwing yellow cards on the court. How frikkin awesome would that be?
Btw, can Jurgen take some of our guys with yellow cards out there with 10 or 15 minutes left in this one? Don't need this trouble.

never

 

[mountaincuse]

That was a great sequence, guys are starting to play well together

 

[PeteCalvin]

Was just looking at the standings and saw that Honduras won 2-0 over Jamaica. That puts them dangerously close to Mexico for that third slot, no? Mexico has them by a point but Honduras has them in the win and GD columns.

 

[arrow2arinzesknee]

We have looked as good tonight as any game in recent memory, completely dominant. Good for Beasley to redefine his role and maintain an important part on this team , and this is without donovAn or bocanegra, feel like klinsmans style of play is just starting to take hold

I'm pretty sure you're right, but that's just insane. Almost guaranteed you'll get suspended if you pick one up early. Where do they come up with this stuff? It's almost as if you need to be strategic when you get one guy in trouble. This isn't hockey. Is it hockey?

 

[arrow2arinzesknee]

And Cameron looks so much better in the middle, keep him there

that's why i think the "take these guys off the pitch" talk is overrated. They are going to be suspended eventually, it's just pick your poison when it happens. They should raise it to 3 yellows, or take away a yellow if you go 3-4 games without one.
