That's more like it. I really like the Johnson/Bedoya linkup play along the left side. I couldn't believe Alvarado made the starting 11 (forgot the Brooks suspension, but pre-game, I'd have preferred Ream), then rolled my eyes when he gave the ball away in the first minute...but he hung in there and had a decent game.

I think Altidore's going to have a hell of a time winning back his starting gig, and I don't think he should get it. Johansson's proven himself in a big, big way. Should've had another assist on that nice chipped pass, if Bradley hadn't lost it in his feet.

Let's go beat the Reggae Boys! I hope I get to watch it, but I'll be visiting friends in Seattle.

It was fun to watch, but don't get too excited. It was Cuba. The only betting line you could find for this match was the Prop Bet of which would have the highest total, 'Goals Scored v. Number of Cuban Players Defecting at Halftime'.

Yeah, but if we didn't win this game big, there would have been a lot of hand wringing. We did what we needed to do.

Fun game to be at. But not having El Salvador in Baltimore really cut into the attendance.

Hoping we win on Wednesday so that I don't have to scalp my tickets!!!

What a terrible penalty call to gift Mexico the victory. This one should have gone to penalties. Sure, they deserved to win, but that was one hell of a bogus penalty.

If they hadn't dominated CR for the entire 2nd half, I would have felt worse about the call.

Not to mention the guy that drew the PK is lucky he wasn't sent off for that harsh challenge just minutes earlier in midfield.

Mexico was the better side but just couldn't shoot straight. Panama will be a test for them.

I don't really watch soccer, but for the US, I like to watch the women's team more than the men's.

Maybe I'm weird.

Usa clearly the better side but lost in a way they have beaten me others in the past. You have to finish your opportunities. Big mistake by guzan unfortunately johannsen didn't make jamaicas keeper pay for his mistake.

After moderately following club soccer last few years international (which is how I started watching in the first place) soccer has become harder and harder to watch. Product is significantly inferior plus you know you're financially supporting morally corrupt institutions by viewing or paying for tickets.

ANOTHER BS CALL for Mexico at the end of the game so that they survive. One time and you think it is a coincidence. Two times....
