World Cup 2018

[AUDub 11,149]

Dempsey in the 32nd! A pure willpower goal. Played through by Pulisic with a chip. Dempsey brings it down to his feet with his shoulder and simply fights off the Honduran defender before finishing with his right foot as he's being pulled down. 

3-0. Boy did we ever need this. 

[AUDub 11,149]

Pulisic having a great game as an attacking midfielder. 

[AUDub 11,149]

Honduras gets a great attempt on goal in the 45th, but Howard gets the save. Ref called it a goal kick anyway, go fig (he's not having a great game). Gonzalez got sucked in and it was played behind him. Got a bit lucky. 

Honduras gets another cross that misses a head by inches. 

[AUDub 11,149]

Halftime. 3-0. Both teams down a sub from injury. Overall a great half, but we got sloppy toward the end on defense and were lucky to not concede one.

[AUDub 11,149]

15 seconds into the second half, Pulisic is played the ball by Jozy and is free to take it into the box. Shoots, scores. 4-0. Dang.

[AUDub 11,149]

49th minute, Pulisic threads the needle through to Dempsey who touches it around the keeper and puts it just inside the right post. 5-0. This is just getting embarrassing. Electric stuff.

I am so glad they let him play where is comfortable. It is paying off.  Great to see all of our horses out there on the attacking  side, minus Woods. But this lineup is showing great chemistry.

Pulisic is far and away the best player on the field tonight. So dynamic.

Loving the chemistry. Still a bit loose on D. 

There's Dempsey's hat trick off the free kick. 6-0

[AUBwins 10,075]

Holy cow what a goal! Dempsey hat trick. 

[AUDub 11,149]

Making up a s*** ton of goal differential ground tonight.

I was beyond frustrated when JK wouldn't give him minutes. Kid is going to get his mins going forward. Truly electric player. 

[AUDub 11,149]

There went Pulisic again. Wish Jozy could have corralled that. 

Kid is dominating. 

[AUDub 11,149]

Cameron off. Good. Just playing it safe with his injury. On comes Zusi 59th minute. 

[AUDub 11,149]

What a shot for Honduras off the bar. One of those unsavable ones had it been on target. 

[AUDub 11,149]

In spite of the fact we've been a bit loose on defense tonight, not much has been asked of Howard between the sticks. Want to keep it that way. Would love to maintain the clean sheet. 

[AUDub 11,149]

Aw, hell. Down goes Brooks. 

ETA:Again

[AUDub 11,149]

On comes Tim Ream. Just what we needed though. More injuries. 

[AUBwins 10,075]

Good pass by CP. It would have looked better if Dempsey was there. Little miscommunication 

[AUDub 11,149]

Just get out of here healthy at this point.

The cross Altidore just misplayed? Yeah. Rats. Should have put that one away. 

[AUBwins 10,075]

That one too. 

[AUBwins 10,075]

Zusi save there

[AUDub 11,149]

I don't really care for anymore goals. Just play keep away, get it to the corners and run the clock. No more injuries. 

[AUDub 11,149]

LOL Clint. He was behind the D too! No way he outruns them at this point though. Gotta be gassed. 

[AUDub 11,149]

Oh thank God. Brooks is just dehydrated.
