LOL, I guess I was pretty wrong about that. Brilliant little run by Wondo.

 

[jlb1705]

Castillo had too much space there to not shoot it.

 

[jlb1705]

Amazing that there has been no bookings. By all rights there should be some Cuban players getting their second yellow cards.

 

[jlb1705]

...and there's a booking. I have the jinx workin' today!

 

[scarletmike]

Wondo again! Man, this guy is on fire!

 

[jlb1705]

Did Gus just say, "Donovan, top of the key..."?

...and another one for Wondo. He scores some shit goals, but they all count.

 

[jlb1705]

Wondo again! Man, this guy is on fire!

He needs to save some of these goals for Mexico.

 

[jlb1705]

This ref = zero fucks given.

 

[jlb1705]

People are going to talk about Wondo, but Joe Corona is my MOTM.

Another fun match to watch, and another win for the USA.

Did Gus just say, "Donovan, top of the key..."?

I'm wondering if he can improve in six years. You'd figure he could with experience.

But the minute that ESPN didn't 'dumb it down" for everyone was the minute they started getting compliments for their coverage (around 2010 or maybe EURO 2008).

Explaining common knowledge to regular viewers isn't really necessary for FOX or Gus (like explain offsides or something).

Tonight's starting XI:

Sean Johnson; Michael Orozco, DaMarcus Beasley, Michael Parkhurst, Clarence Goodson; Mikkel Diskerud, Landon Donovan, Stuart Holden, Jose Torres, Alejandro Bedoya & Chris Wondolowski.

Win or draw & they get El Salvador. Lose and they get Honduras.

Really like the lineup. Love the attacking options that are provided.

 

[Smudger]

Gouge my eyes out already, please. Worst pregame show I've ever had the displeasure of watching. I'm really astonished every single person involved in this telecast can sleep at night knowing what rubbish they're spewing out.

Rob Stone just called this "our benchmark game". No words.
