Man, FIFA changes their shiznit ALL the times... and US and A. peeps always throw their hands up like the TEAM AMERICA hand signal...
Again...I am aware. I've yet to complain about not getting a seed nor would I this time around. But, you know, it's nice to be able to look ahead to such things even when there are games still to play. You know what I mean? Oh wait...
Will the US play their A team next week? I am going to be in Manhattan,KS for the Baylor-K State game and a couple of buddies and I are thinking about driving over to KC for the US game on Friday night.
It doesn't appear they've released the list yet. Klinsmann has indicated he is bringing as much of an A team as he can for the last 2 games.
Rosters for the next 2 qualifying games haven't been released yet, I saw an interview with Klinsmann that said they are bringing their best players so hopefully they are there, still pumped to see a US soccer game though.
Usually Kilnsmann doesn't release his list till the Monday before the Wednesday game. It was surprising last time to see his list before the weekends games were played.
Got my tickets for the game today, bummed that Dempsey is not playing as he is from my hometown but it will be great seeing everyone else.

Houston Dynamo midfielder Brad Davis called to play for the U.S. (more than likely bench, but a good call nonetheless): <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Houston Dynamo midfielder Brad Davis added to U.S. national team roster for upcoming World... <a href="http://t.co/Qt8PU1NBrK">http://t.co/Qt8PU1NBrK</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23mls&src=hash">#mls</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23region3soccer&src=hash">#region3soccer</a></p>— Region 3 Soccer (@Region3soccer) <a href="https://twitter.com/Region3soccer/statuses/388369265172037632">October 10, 2013</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Honduras beats Costa Rica. They've guaranteed at least 4th. If Mexico and Panama tie, Honduras is in as the third guaranteed spot.
Just before they scored, I was thinking this was the worst game I've seen out of them since the horrid match against Canada. Looked much better since the 70th minute or so.
Chicharito miss a penalty and Panama comes back to tie in the 81st minute. Not looking good for the Tri's.
