August 29, 201312 yr I know nothing about European club teams, but I root for Leverkusen because my Mom was a career Bayer employee.
August 29, 201312 yr QUOTE (danman31 @ Aug 29, 2013 -> 03:03 AM) Where's our boy? Celtic made the comeback. Their reward is getting trounced in the group stage (oh and millions of dollars). I was a happy man in Glasgow last night. Got back home at around 5am for a few hours sleep. Still smiling today, and it's my wedding anniversary an' all.
August 29, 201312 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 29, 2013 -> 03:04 AM) I watched most of that game, I'm surprised that stadium didn't collapse after that last goal. Sorry Borat. It was absolutely mental, man. I ended up about ten rows of seats over hugging and dancing with a pal. My voice is a bit gravely today. First goal was a beaut, and good timing just before half time. I had started to get a sinking feeling that it wasn't going to be our night, so that really lifted the spirits. Second goal - at the time I was afraid that Samaras was offside, so my celebration was a bit delayed. Third goal, injury time winner to seal our place in the group stages - bedlam!
September 7, 201312 yr Paging Brad Guzan...Please take over the starting spot at GK. I've seen enough of Howard not making the quick decision and costing this team. No way Guzan can be any worse than Howard. Edited September 7, 201312 yr by zenryan

He had no chance on the first two. I don't know what you want. The goat of the game for me is Orozco. He got torched early.

I don't know what you want. The goat of the game for me is Orozco. He got torched early. Yes I'm blaming Howard on the breakaway. The Costa Rican player and Besler bother were at mid field when the ball was cleared into open space and it was finally touched for the first time just feet outside of the penalty box. He could have came out of his area and cleared that ball away. The second goal was a high soft cross and he just sat on his line once again. The ball was headed in the 6 yard box. He had the time to atleast make a play on the cross.
September 7, 201312 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 7, 2013 -> 10:45 AM) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Mexico. Enjoy New Zealand. If we can win or draw Tuesday, the 9th matchday will feature the biggest game of the Hex with Panama at Mexico. 4th place isnt a lock for Mexico, especially since they travel to Costa Rica the final day and Panama could be facing a B-team USA squad at home.

Beasley was at fault on the first goal but I also want to see Guzan given a chance.

And given the remaining schedules, it's going to be very unlikely for Mexico to get back into the top 3. It's pretty amazing really.

In 4 games at Azteca, they have earned 3 points and been outscored 2-1. Nobody would have ever believed that seven months ago.
September 8, 201312 yr Lets get back on the winning trail on Tuesday. US team has played poorly in its last 2 international games (especially on the defensive side of the ball).

The defense wasn't great, but that was still a good showing. I'd like to hurt Mexico, but the US only needs to beat Jamaica at home to qualify so I'm not worried in the least.

Offense was good but defense was brutal early in that game.

September 11, 201312 yr Panama just scored a ridiculous goal. Screw that, rooting for them. USA will be in. Rather screw over Mexico. They are now in realy trouble of 5th place.
September 11, 201312 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 11, 2013 -> 03:25 AM) Honduras back up a goal...boom! A tie is the same thing for the USA
September 11, 201312 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 10, 2013 -> 09:30 PM) A tie is the same thing for the USA I know but that goal added some breathing room.
September 11, 201312 yr Brazil!! I cant wait for the next round of games. That Panama at Mexico match is going to be something to see. Go Panama
