Btw ... My credentials ...

My kid is a pretty good soccer player ... I was a youth league goalie for 2 years about 1980 ... Other than that, I've got nothin!

I was impressed with a lot of what those guys did in the mex/ven game. Looking forward to tomorrow nights game, unfortunately this wreaks of usmnt underperformance ... Right when u get excited, they'll lay an egg against a team not really better than them.

I hope I'm wrong.

My credentials......................never played but I am an expert

[AUDub 11,153]

Four hours from kickoff. Klinsmann's goal coming into the tourney was to reach the semis and it is very much within reach.

[AUDub 11,153]

Underway. Let's see what we've got.

[AUDub 11,153]

So we went with Besler on the left and Fabian on the right.

[AUDub 11,153]

Crap. Got numbers forward and Jermaine passed it to no one. 11th minute 0-0.

[AUDub 11,153]

Fabian with a good cross but Wood can't control it. USA resets in the Ecuador half.

[AUDub 11,153]

Bobby earns the US a corner. That run on the wing will be there for him all night.

Cameron with a good flick on the corner. No one home on the back post though. Yuck.

Bobby almost gets there on a nice through ball! 18th minute.

[AUDub 11,153]

Bad touch from Cameron in the US 18 almost bites us.

[AUDub 11,153]

GOAL USA! DEMPSEY WITH THE HEAD OFF OF A JERMAINE JONES CROSS AFTER BOBBY WINS IT IN THE BOX AND PLAYS IT BACK! 1-0 22ND MINUTE!

Dempsey!

[AUDub 11,153]

Dempsey almost doubles the lead after an excellent trap and pass from Bedoya off a free kick from the midline.

[ShocksMyBrain 9,368]

This available on Roku perchance?

[AUDub 11,153]

Brooks picked up where he left off against Paraguay. Winning balls in the box.

[AUDub 11,153]

This available on Roku perchance?

Don't think the Roku has FS1.

[AUDub 11,153]

Ecuador getting very aggressive with their tackling.

Brooks has hurt his right elbow. Playing on after walking it off.

[AUDub 11,153]

Bobby Wood is a terror up front.

[AUDub 11,153]

Ecuador got too aggressive. First booking of the game. 38th minute.

[McLoofus 35,182]

I just saw the single best possession i think I've ever seen from a USMNT. Bedoya's not making much of his opportunities but I'm seriously not sure I've ever seen buildup like that from the good guys. Encouraging.

[AUDub 11,153]

Guzan with a great save on a break 47th minute. Collects it on the corner. That'll be halftime.

[AUDub 11,153]

Rats. Ref gave them another attack. Now it's halftime.

[AUDub 11,153]

I just saw the single best possession i think I've ever seen from a USMNT. Bedoya's not making much of his opportunities but I'm seriously not sure I've ever seen buildup like that from the good guys. Encouraging.

I'm encouraged. Been an all around well played game with few breakdowns at the back. Wish we could have converted one more of those opportunities.

[McLoofus 35,182]

^My thoughts exactly.

[AUDub 11,153]

Just play it out and avoid getting booked. We'll need everything for Argentina.

[AUDub 11,153]

2nd half underway. No changes for either team.
