Torres and Castillo remind me of this:

They have Mexican names - that means they're good at soccer, right?

Castillo is saving Bornstein's career.

Unbelievable.

This is harder to watch than before.

This is the type of game those unfamiliar with soccer watch and say, "ZOMG! Soccer sux! It's soooo boring!" Actually, this game has kind of sucked.

I disagree with TV production crews' standard operating procedure regarding streakers and other fans storming the field.

:(

Yeah, as hyped as I was early on...I'm kinda off doing other things as the game has been on. Meh.

Fuck Mexico!

Wildly varying evaluations of Beckerman tonight: I've heard best & worst US player so far. I think he's among better US players.

GOOOOOOAAAAAL!

Robbie Rogers...first goal of Klinnsman era.

Brek Shea is a beast.

 

[Jake]

I love the Klinsmann hire and think he will pay dividends given time. Sure would be nice to knock off Mexico in his first match, even though it hasn't been a work of art.

Delayed: WOOOOOOOO!

ESPN3 is way behind for me.

I'll say that I've been a Michael Bradley fan. I think he's still young and has shown to be a solid midfielder. His previous club experience and praise speaks to that. But lately, he's been slow and off.

And as soon as he comes off the pitch, the US begins getting some quicker ball movement. 1. 2. touches. Ball off the foot.

Made me think about how Lil Bradley sometimes does too much work with the ball instead of letting the ball do the work. Something you finally get to recognize when he's actually not on the field. Definite difference with speed of play.

 

[Jake]

Brek Shea will be a nice addition. He's been on fire in the MLS. Let's hope that translates into success on the international team.

Just set up the equalizer tonight. I think I could've finished off that pass.

Great goal!
