6:59jlopezylopez:who will win this god cup??

Watching this in my hotel room in Nicaragua. The nica announcers keep calling him 'Jay Heps'. Pretty funny/endearing

Oh man, there are Fire supporters in the house. I hear El Guapo playing the Tetris theme on his trumpet.

Love that ping-pong play leading to goal.

lol god cup i should put that here justin.tv chatlog

nice work guys glad i will get to see u sunday. trying to figure who i want them to play, who i should root for tonight

I'm rooting for Costa Rica due to the fact that 1. they're not Mexico, and 2. Gonzalo Segares is my favorite Fire player.

fuck, listening to this crowd makes me wish I was there even worse :(

we've said it before and i bet we'll say it again: DOS A CERO BABY

This Mex/CR game is a lol-fest

this fucking game! penalties.

Mexico wins after Ochoa blocks the CR player that scored the tying goal in penalties.

MEXICOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I don't know how I never made the connection that Guille Franco played for El Tri before tonight.

omg this is ugly. total breakdown. worst possible ten minutes

Tonight's CCL matches between Red Bull/W Connection and Herediano/Cruz Azul have been simultaneously pretty amazingly bad and entertaining. The first was an own-goal fest and neither team wants to play defense in the latter (it's 5-2 Azul now). Still looking forward to the eventual match featuring Joe Public FC.

Lando's been running his mouth about this game a bit, saying how they're not going to Azteca to settle for a draw, how they can defeat Mexico at any neutral stadium, blah blah blah.

k he needs to shut up too

I'm just hoping I can find a place to watch it, stupid being stranded in bumfuck west Michigan for the week (sry Laurel!)

Oh don't worry, it's not like I ever watched soccer at home.

got my beer and my shot in this bar and am ready to go

LA HORA DE LA VERDAD

o man, i assumed this was going to be on late. why is it starting at 4:00?

WHER IS A LIVE FEED?

Wow!

GODDAMNIT, I just got asked for the password for that stream.

try this one, laurel: http://envivo.terra.com/deportes/live/259-eu/

Thank you, dear, but that reqs plug-ins that I'm not allowed to DL.

MW, is that link still showing halftime filler by idiots, or have they switched me to a different stream?? There's some fucking stupid show on.

It kept dying so I picked up another, albeit in Spanish. Check here:

Game's back on now, btw

:D

xp laurel: click "i want to watch anyway." that worked for me on my desktop at work w/o dling anything.

Same old same old in the end.

Mexico is such a different team than the one the USA handled so easily in February.

what a bunch of bullshit

Israel Castro, wow what a loaded name

A few bad calls on fouls, but the cards were legit. The US couldn't clear it out of their zone, never tried to build through the midfield, and played on their heals for basically 60 minutes. They reaped what they sowed.

howard's point blank stop when dos santos had all the mother fucking time in the world, that was a nice moment. holden with a good cross or two. onyewu big in the middle, heading stuff out. landon and davies had their speedy creating moments. other than that, fuuuuuck. for stretches it reminded me of the spain game, only w/o the shutdown and the counterattacking purpose.

the soccer bar's commentary was in spanish, which wasn't bad considering balboa. the place was packed, 2/3 US fans the rest mexico. everybody got along, unlike all that ugly bullshit on the field, trying to pick davies up and other assorted pettiness.

For all the talk about Landon, Tim Howard seems to be the one who steps up on the bigger stages. Bocanegra ought to just give him the Captaincy since he's the one doing all the leading.

Glad to hear your crowd was friendly - in Feb when I went to Boston the crowds were really anti-Mexico and anti-Mexican fans.

A day after he played a full 90 minutes in the United States national team’s 2-1 loss to Mexico, Landon Donovan revealed he tested positive for the H1N1 flu virus, or swine flu, according to a report first published on SI.com.

beckerman shouldnt see the field in a match that matters for a loooong time

could have been 5-1, should have been 3-1. damn. for a good 20 minutes i thought "this team doesn't deserve to qualify."
