    Man, Yedlin with the teribad mistakes. First that hand ball in the first game then the second yellow in this game.

    Bobby Wood was working really hard. he played well.

    Brooks played his ass off

    Gritty win for USA

    Congratulations! :cool: Welcome to the next round.

    Should have put the game away early when it was 11-11. Yedlin was warned and didn't listen. Good win. Y'all will get Brazil. Cards are reset for knockout stage.

    More NRG Stadium field woes. :mad:

    The NRG field is fine. It just looks like its been played on. Texans are using field turf next season anyway. International Soccer has to be on grass.

    Actually...all the rain is probably the reason it looks like that.

    Loved the effort from guys like Bedoya, Wood, Zardes, and especially Brooks (the guy is looking world class out there)

    Yedlin stuff was stupid. First yellow was nothing, second one was fine but being sent off for soft stuff like that if what turns away casual soccer fans



    Also, wtf is going on with Costa Rica right now? Giving US every chance to win the group

    Looks like we will win the group of death, and once again establish world dominance. Klinsman is gold when pressure is on.

    Defense played as well as they ever have with only 10. Overall solid gutty performance.

    Come again? It's more likely to be Ecuador or Peru. Y'all will be getting Argentina or Chile :eek:

    I'm guessing we get Ecuador. Brazil will beat Peru and Ecuador should beat Haiti.

    If we win the semi, USMNT will play at NRG.

    Yep, we got Ecuador......they are dynamic on O, and porous on D...could be wide open.

    I truly hope this becomes like the Euros - where we play ever couple of years.

    Screw the Gold Cup this is so much better.

    Beat them 1-0 in a tune-up friendly last month. Hope that portends good fortune in the quarterfinals.

    Go USA!!

    If Peru wins does that mean Brazil is out?
