I hope Jozy wakes the **** up at some point before the match is over.

This referee is ****. It looks like a ******* rugby match.

The US looking like crap. I'm surprised Klinsmann didn't start Bedoya.

Either Honduras is good or we suck.

Very different game than what we saw on Sunday. Much faster and a bit disorganized.

Not a strong start. Lucky to only have 1 yellow card after some of our late tackles.

Games against CONCACAF opponents for US and Mexico are very often an unorganized, frantic mess. Most of these countries, with the exception of maybe Costa Rica, don't want to get into a free-flowing contest.

Great header by Dempsey to get us up 1-0! Hopefully that will be the spark we need after coming out flat in the first 25ish minutes

The Honduras defense is really holding their line and shrinking the field.

Honduras is very good. They punched above their weight to make the WC last yr they should be one of the expected this cycle from Concacaf as they now have a strong coach. They went out and got Costa Rica's coach from last WC cycle who took Costa Rica to quarter finals last summer.

no shape or form. I know that is par for the course in the Gold Cup, but after watching vs the Dutch and Germany it is making my eyes bleed.

This is physical

They broke Chicharito's collar bone in the "friendly" against Mexico last Wed. They were strong defensively last WC cycle and now have a new coach and young legs up front this cycle. Very real possibility USA Mexico Costa Rica and Honduras make the 2018 WC. There seems to be a separation forming between those 4 and the rest of Concacaf

Need to get rid of Beckerman and bring on Mix. Beckerman is sitting too deep and providing too much space in the middle of the park when Bradley pushes.

agree with this. Love Beckerman just because we play the same position, and I think he does it very well against some formations, but he is playing too deep, and it is effecting the shape.

Not a fan of Wondo. Hopefully, he can poach one for the US though.

 

[shagcarpetjesus]

Deuce!!!!!!

 

[shagcarpetjesus]

He hasn't been perfect in the US shirt, but I'm loving the fact that we've got Alvarado in the squad.
