good thing there wasn't a cybookie on this. I would be a much poorer man right now.

Ick. Gotta win Monday.
Win or go home for the US tonight vs El Salvador.
It looks like Cuba saved America's bacon in the 91st minute. Win tonight and they advance and avoid Mexico.
Wow, great news.Quote:

Welcome to the US Nat'l Team, Mr. Boyd. 1-0 USA.
He did some good work in the friendly against Italy as well. I want him tied as soon as possible. There are really no indications he's considering playing for Germany, but with the recent history of Rossi, Subotic, Nunez, etc. I can't rest comfortably with these players that have the option to play for two countries.Quote:

El Salvador scores off a corner. 1-1. It's definitely been coming. US has not looked good since the first 20 minutes or so.
Edit: 2-1 about a minute later. Absolute fluke goal for El Salvador. Big mountain to climb now.
Edit edit: A couple minutes later US has to use a substitution on the goalie. Hammid was injured with no one around him shortly before El Salvador's first goal and has now come off.
Not good. Not good.
Embarrassing so far. Its amazing what these lesser CONCACAF nations can do at the youth and upper youth levels compared to their senior national teams.
Helluva save from El Salvador's keeper. This is embarrassing.
Caleb Porter should be fired if we don't win this match.
