Stream for tonight's WCQ: US v. Jamaica

[PoppyHart]

we need a bornstein moment a la costa rica

This is about as embarrassing a loss as I can recall for the USMNT. It seems like Jurgen treated this as a friendly.

come on.. would at least like to see the u.s. make it to brazil

21 months to go and we're in (almost) a must win situation.

very dissapointing .. this team always ends up relying on getting help.. even in 2010.. two draws and one st win to get to the quarters..would be nice to create instead of rely

 

[Orangezoo]

would trade back mexico and italy wins for holding on against guat and a win tonight.. friendlies mean nothing if you cant qualify

 

[Bortukal]

That was a complete dumpster fire.

So where does this leave us? Is Wednesday now a must-win?

We looked like dung even against A&B. I was so pissed we didn't run up the score for goal differential

If Guat beats A&B tonight (tied early on) and Tuesday, as expected, and we tie against the reggae boys it looks like this with 2 to play

Jam 8
Guat 7
USA 5
A&B 4

Meaning we almost certainly would need to beat Guatemala at home to advance.

A win against Jam would mean:
Jam 7
USA 7
Guat 7
A&B 1

So, either way, the Guat game will be huge regardless.

That's cutting it way too close.

Antigua out to a shocking lead at the break, 1-0.

Go Antigua!

 

[PoppyHart]

Go Antigua!

Guatemala equalizes in an absolute quagmire.

Giggity giggity.

Seriously never seen a pitch like this.

 

[Bortukal]

I think Guatemala's water polo team practices on the same field.

If this the was the EPL they'd shut it down for a month.

Whatever happened to Benny Feilhaber?

Whatever happened to Benny Feilhaber?

Plays for New England. His game really plateaued.

 

[Bortukal]

I was wondering about Benny tonight myself when I was thinking about some of the players I'd rather seen than Jones and Beckerman: Feilhaber, Spector, Klejstan, Adu, Shea to name a few.

 

[CuseCPT]

Feilhaber's plateau is higher than Beckerman's peak.
