Fun game, the streak was always going to end, eventually. Just going to have to do it the hard way now.
Hopefully I can get Tuesday's game streaming since they still insist on using fucking BEING.

What a shit way to lose. After Jurgen yet again tweaks things in the 1st half which lead to a terrible start, we actually play pretty well in the 2nd half and tie the game. But nope. Gotta give up a goal in the 88th minute on a set piece where it looked like half the team had no idea where to stand.

Also, fuck that guy that dove head first into Pulisic as he was heading for goal. How the fuck is that not a red card?

Would love to know logical reasons why we didn't start off in a 4-4-2

Well, the loss to Mexico is huge, and that means the US has two losses (Azteca shit show).

Here is likely how this thing plays out for the US:

v. Mexico L 1-2
@ Costa Rica L (last result @ Costa Rica: L)
v. Honduras W
@ Panama L (last result @ Panama: D)
v. T&T W
@ Mexico L (last result @ Mexico: D)
v. Costa Rica T
@ Honduras T (last result @ Honduras: L)
v. Panama W
@ T&T W (last result @ T&T: D)

Projected record: 3-4-2
Projected Points Points: 11

The road of late has been none to kind to the US in the various nations. Perhaps suggesting US Soccer is regressing is a misstatement. Instead, Panama, Costa Rica, Mexico, T&T, Honduras are all improving and able to compete with the US on any pitch, anytime. That said, CONCACAF has caught up to the US and I do believe the US will qualify for the World Cup.

In 2014, Mexico had 11 points and was forced to play the "play in game." So the US is on the bubble right now.

Well, two games in and they're two away from four losses. So, Russia probably is not happening.

So the US is going to finish 5th in this group? Because that is pretty much the only way they don't make the WC. So you think Panama and Honduras finish ahead of them? Can we put you on record for saying this?

US could not get by Jamaica and Panama at the Gold Cup. So how bad is the competition?

This is your problem. You're comparing a knockout tournament to a 10 game qualification process to get to the WC.

I sense the US gets the Wild Card spot, maybe 5th. No higher or lower. Book it.

Gold Cup was for ConFed Cup, a big deal if you want to play the best.
