CONCACAF (soccer)

Nice pregame with Eric Wynalda mentioning the Mexico doping, not knowing the name of the substance and then not actually explaining what the situation is. Then I'm pretty sure Cobi Jones referred to Panama as an "island nation."

That's why I like watching on the Spanish channels. They just said "Clarence Goodson -- el hijo bien" and they say shit like that all the time. If they get things wrong/stupid, I probably won't understand.

ok wtf

sssseeee laaaaaa perrrdio

Caught the second half. Dempsey, yikes. Why no Agudelo?

Big Bradley is contractually obligated to keep giving Sacha Kljestan chances, it seems.

Saturday, New Meadowlands Stadium, East Rutherford, N.J.
Costa Rica vs. Honduras, 5 p.m.
Mexico vs. Guatemala, 8 p.m.

Sunday, RFK Stadium, Washington, D.C.
Jamaica vs. United States, 3 p.m.
Panama vs. El Salvador, 6 p.m.

Jamaica is like a team full of wingers, it seems. Should be a stronger test than Panama was. Mexico going to roll dis ting of course.

Team looked lazy and completely unambitious against Guadeloupe. How many times did Dempsey manage not to score with an empty net in front of him?

A soccerball comparison doesn't come immediately to mind, but Dempsey's worst miss reminded me of Leon Lett vs. Don Beebe in SB XXVII.

really wish Guatemala had pulled it off vs Mexico

USA/Jamaica looks pretty wide open, both sides have had chances in the first half

lollin' @ german-american jermaine jones pulling the salute after scoring

not lolling at his terrible dive. what a bitch he is.

lollin' @ jermaine jones drawing a red on a dive

lollllllll

bedoya's dive against... panama, was it? also lol

USA-Jamaica was 1st official game without a single US starter from MLS since league started in 1996 (138 games, friendlies excluded).

i.e. no Lando

wow lando on the bench again tonight

I know, right? Can't imagine any new tactics are really holding him back. Must be tired or they're going for some kind of supersub/push-Dempsey-to-fwd late strategy.

has anyone had any luck getting concacaf tv to work. on both my home machine and work computers the test video never loads. also why is it hosted in the uk?

It worked for me in the group stage, but I've mostly been watching Univision since. Dunno why it's in the UK, ol' Jack W must have gotten some bribes from over there.

adu to lando to deuce, for how long now should we have been saying that

how was freddy? i had to leave right when he came on.

very good against a tired team

mexico just scored in extra time, heard people both down the street and in my building going nuts

...and chicharito makes it 2-0 over honduras

Before the tournament and during the group stage I was feeling very shaky about our chances vs. Mexico, after seeing how they've played against Guatemala and Honduras I feel a bit better. Organized defending goes a long way.

Sad news - Costa Rica defender Dennis Marshall (scored v. Honduras last week) and his wife were both killed in a car accident.

terrible terrible, thoughts go out to their families

yeah, that's a huge downer

Why isn't El Tri better?

article doesn't answer the question
