Don't want to see any spoilers from the Poland/Russia game I'm watching, but in case it hasn't been mentioned, the first row sports links are working for the US game. The feed is surprisingly not as ghetto as I thought it'd be.

Can you give a link please.

He just did. US actually getting calls away from home.

 

[walnutz]

I am a dope. Can't get it to work.

 

[The Z Machine]

Guatemala is playing much more positively than I anticipated. If the US can get a point here, I'll be happy.

You may have to try some different ones, but firstrowsports.eu. Gllll with those pop-ups.

Ad Block Plus is a thing of beauty.I think that Guat gets a PK this game.

 

[walnutz]

Thanks guys. I got it now.

I think I agree. The better question is whether it will be deserved? I hate to be a conspiracy theorist, but it seems like a fair amount of home cooking going on. And obviously, our back four is slow enough to get way out of position.

 

[The Z Machine]

Guatemala plays a cynical, cynical game. Goodsen better be careful. Ruiz will try to get him sent off at every turn.

 

[The Z Machine]

DEMPSEY!!

 

[TLEF316]

DEEEUUUUUUUCCCCCCEEEEEE!!!!!!!

 

[El Floppo]

Oh Baby!

 

[walnutz]

Sweet... Deuce.

 

[The Z Machine]

That was the first crack of daylight that Dempsey saw all game, and he buried it. They will continue to try and hack him down all night.

So far at least, the ref has been calling Guat really, really tight- not letting them do anything to the US players. I like it. And I don't see any kind of mystery hand ball getting called the wya it used to.And it seems like Demspey is finally getting the respect he's wanted from refs... every time he goes down he gets the call- even for some that looked like decent challenges.

 

[Moe.]

El Salvador just tied it up in the 65th.

 

[Sebowski]

Just paid $10 to get in to a bar in Portlad showing the game.

 

[Native]

Can someone describe the goal? Missed it...

 

[Sebowski]

Rumor is they paid $1,000 for the game. I count 84 people here. With sales have to say it worked out. Hopefully regular channels take notice.

Not a huge moneymaker for them if you include overhead.

 

[The Z Machine]

Guat used all 3 subs at the half? They're up against it for sure.

 

[Native]

Guatemala has a population of 14M people - largest in Central America.

 

[Steve Tasker]

This is a fun game. I hope nobody dies afterwards.

where's the fun in that?

 

[The Z Machine]

Bradley gets a call for delaying. Wow. Poppa is getting thuggish.

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

I'm in Chantilly VA on business. The closest bar showing this game is 25 miles from here, a $100 round trip cab ride. The hotel gets 100+ channels yet I'm reduced to watching a USMNT WQ qualifier on my iPhone. WTF? I'm pissed off.

 

[Native]

Jozy!!! WOOHOO!!

Sorry, I didn't want to read through the thread until I finished watching the Poland/Russia game. Looks like a link has already been posted.

 

[walnutz]

Caution to Bradley for delaying the restart seems pretty silly in the 60th minute. Altidore now on.

 

[The Z Machine]

I wouldn't have pulled Gomez so soon. There's 30 more mins to play. I would have given him another 10.

 

[The Z Machine]

This Johnson kid is pretty good. I liked his run up to the box. LD covered back nicely.

 

[walnutz]

Agree here. I like Gomez a lot and jozy isn't fit right now. Would have liked more of Gomez.

 

[The Z Machine]

Timmay with a nice save. Ruiz should have buried it.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Horrific defending on that corner, US is lucky to still be up 1-0.

 

[The Z Machine]

When was the last time LD took a shot on goal?

 

[The Gator]

####### QUICK whistle

 

[The Z Machine]

Should have had the advantage played for Jozy.

 

[Steve Tasker]

When was the last time LD took a shot on goal?

I was thinking a similar thing, I was wondering when's the last time he took a player 1v1? He's gotten the ball in the narrow left wing a few times now and has played it back into the midfield each time. I know we've commented on this in here before, but it's noticeable tonight.Yes, poor whistle from the ref there.

 

[ffldrew]

Ref should just keep the yellow card in his hand at the ready

 

[LHUCKS]

really good strike there by Guatemala...ugh

 

[The Z Machine]

Ths US looks tired. Guat. looked like they wanted that goal more than the US wanted the win.

 

[TLEF316]

balls

 

[The Gator]

Bad wall. Timmy had to peek around to see and the ball went the other way.

 

[walnutz]

Fark. That sucks. Beautiful goal by Pappa though.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Is this game being played at 15,000 feet? Seems every other shot ends up in a low orbit around the earth.

 

[ffldrew]

WTF?

It's like there is helium in the ball

There it is! And then....

Bradley sends one into the stratosphere

 

[walnutz]

Altidore should have continued his run there. That was the winner. Nice ball from Bradley.
