    Game over. Honduras rescued ONE POINT. Good game. It was extremely physical, but Mexico should have HELD.

    Mexico will host U.S.A. next at Azteca. See y'all tonight. I will wish you all a good game. Get those three points! :cool:

    Ugly conditions tonight in Denver, cold and snowy. Hope the US can get the three points and make it to Tuesday night in good health.

    Go U.S.A.!

    I hope they can get through at least half time. The snow just keeps coming. This is just a battle of endurance. Hard to be entirely skillful when you're playing on inches of snow...and try to make less mistakes than the other team (Geoff Cameron, I'm looking at you).

    I hope the referee calls the game because he can't see the lines. That is absolutely his right. That would be great. I can't believe the stupidity of scheduling a game in Denver in March.

    Why would it be great? CRC fan?

    Bad weather happens. Deal with it.

    This game is tough to watch and I mean that in a literal sense.

    Should be shooting the ball from distance constantly.

    Glad to see Puebla Beasley again as a starter.

    They should stop this game. It is bad. I've never seen so much snow in a game.

    :grin: There's always a first time.

    I dislike the Ticos quite intensely but I dislike the US team more.

    Sissy mexican fans. If CRC was winning, would you be whining for this game to be called?

    The ball is traveling well. The players aren't in any danger. They're working to clear the lines.

    Play on.

    Sissy?!? Man, STFU. It's for the safety of both teams. Please tell me how many times you've played in snow like that? Cameron almost slammed onto the goalpost and they've been sliding into each others' leg and they've gotten hurt. I don't care who is winning. You can't even see the lines goalies should go by. :eek: on top of that, you have to have people cleaning the snow? Thanks, Obama.

    Good half by just about everyone for the US. Cameron needs to get his head out of his ass and quit giving away stupid balls in the defensive third. Otherwise, playing well. I'm especially pleased by the play of Beasley at left back. He's doing very well.

    The only tactical change I'd make right now is to implore that they shoot more from distance. The CRC back line isn't looking very solid and mistakes can happen the more you shoot.

    Oh, and that was a f***ing penalty on Dempsey. No excuses from the ref who was right there.

    Cameron was shoved into the goal. He didn't slip.

    I've played in snow a few times (Pikes Peak Invitational...a spring time tournament in...Colorado). I've played on fields that were completely iced over (this actually happened in Houston). I've played in 115 degrees. Playing in snow sucks because every little thing hurts like hell. But, it's not much different than playing on a field with heavy fog. Yeah, they have the grounds crew keeping the lines as clear as possible.

    Don't lie. You absolutely care who is winning. More so after your boys choked away 2 points today.

    This has to be worse for the USA if this game is allowed to resume, right? Conditions are so bad Costa Rica can get a goal and USA cant afford a tie (or loss)

    Clearly off. Well done by the linesman.


    (phew)

    Bradley and Jones have disappeared (other than Jones' stupid foul). They need to get control of the ball back. Too much space between them and Dempsey/Altidore.
