World Cup 2018

Dempsey about to make his appearance, 67th 4-0 good guys. 

[AUDub 11,155]

On comes Clint for Jozy.

[AUDub 11,155]

Panama is dejected. Can hardly complete a pass right now. 

[AUDub 11,155]

Bedoya on, Nagbe off. 

[AUDub 11,155]

4-0 final. Beat T&T Tuesday and we're in without the playoff game. Panama has Costa Rica. They lose, same result.

That was a great game.  Easily could have been 6 or 7 goals for USA.  Actually probably should have been. I think we Missed 3 1v1 opportunities w goalie.

if they don’t suspend some me of the panama players then there is no justice.  Straight up punching (granted it was a sissy version of a punch) pulisic.  There were 3-4 red card worthy moments of ref had seen.  I hope VAR will clean some of that up.

back line was a little shaky at times but our outside backs looked good.  Bradley had good and bad moments.  Nagbe I hardly noticed.

I love wood working with pulisic and I typically give altidore a hard time but he was solid in all phases.

[AUBwins 10,075]

Dang totally missed this game.  Tuesday it is. 

[AUDub 11,155]

Pulisic was magnificent in the creator role. Have got to keep him in the lineup there. He elevates our offense ridiculously. 

[Brad_ATX 13,654]

I really hope they stay with the more aggressive style that was shown against Panama.  We're not the best team defensively anyway (prone to lapses), so play to strengths and stay on the front foot.

The stadium may not be playable.

Pulisic's ability to walk on water should come in handy.

They did a good job getting the excess water out. Hope the field holds together. 

[AUDub 11,155]

Altidore cannons a beautiful buildup over the crossbar. A good early chance. 

[AUDub 11,155]

Arriola takes an arm. Might have been hamming it up a bit. 

[AUDub 11,155]

Damn it. 1-0 Soca Warriors. OG from Gonzalez off his shin. 

[AUDub 11,155]

Gonzalez screws up again. An awful tackle that should have been a penalty not called. 

[AUDub 11,155]

beIN's feed has gone out.

ETA: And it's back. 

[AUDub 11,155]

USA dialing up the heat in T&T's half. 

[AUDub 11,155]

Dead ball. Seems the pitch is still pretty soft.

Nagbe slips in their third.  

[AUDub 11,155]

We're in real trouble. 2-0 T&T after a 35 yard beauty. Honduras leads Mexico.

Luckily that was an incorrectly reported score. Mexico leads 2-1.

Panama also losing. 

[Brad_ATX 13,654]

That's about as bad of a half as we could have possibly played.  I'm scoreboard watching now, because I'm not convinced we come back.
