US v El Salvador thread

[PeteCalvin]

US strikes first. 1-0. Donovan to Goodson off a beautiful set piece.

Rimando is the THE MAN! Two awesome saves.

 

[PeteCalvin]

CORONA!!!! 2-0!!!

El Salvador's keeper is this from getting out of hand. PK coming up for the bad guys. FUDGE!! 2-1

What sucks is that this game is on US soil and it's a pro-Salvador crowd. In Baltimore of all places!!

 

[PeteCalvin]

2-1 at the half. US should have 4 or 5 on the board. Portillo is standing on his head. That PK gave El Salvador life just when the US was about to snuff it out. We better come out with purpose in the second and get another.

Mmm, Gol, Gol, Gol, Gol, Gol!
Eddie Johnson, right after substitution, set play.

That was sweet!

Wow Pete you weren't kidding. The boys are all over the place right now. Really starting to like this team.

Been a long time since I've seen a US team play like this. And this isn't even our best line-up, per se.

Donovan has been sooooo close to three goals today.

He makes this World Cup after all is said and done, yeah?
I think he's shown Jurgen he's still got it.

Speaking of the man, Gol!
Like clockwork, buddy. Eddie and Landon are running hog wild right now.

 

[SUfaninAZ]

Donovan! Finally!

Donovan! Finally!

Hey, congrats on 100+ likes!
Didn't even realize amidst this goal-fest.

 

[SUfaninAZ]

This half is incredibly fun to watch!

I think Landon has assisted on four of today's goals. Almost had another goal!

 

[PeteCalvin]

This half is incredibly fun to watch!

The entire game has been like this. Just a great game.

 

[tee1222]

This half is incredibly fun to watch!

Pace is wild!
And I almost believe that they will convert every time on these corners and other set pieces.
Never had so much belief in this team.

 

[PeteCalvin]

Eddie Johnson as Simon Phoenix is just awesome.

 

[SUfaninAZ]

...and ahead of Mexico in the FIFA rankings now!!!

9 wins in a row. A US record. I may want to check to see if there are any "Fire Klinsman" threads on BigSoccer.com

 

[Orangezoo]

we may never be a world cup championship threat- but the attacking style is getting results. I cant remember enjoying the usmnt games so much. I think klinnsman has some tough decisions on who to go with for the final wc squad. Oh and Donovan is in great form- and when he is that touch he has - beautiful. I am psyched to see this squad when at full strength!

Me too. Ref is pissed.
Then shortly after, Donovan gets into it with El Salvador player who wants him to speed things up as he gets pelted with sunglasses and such. Great gif!

 

[Guinness]

Donovan! Finally!

I don't know what it is about the guy but man I cannot stand Donovan.
