    US pulls away late for a 2-0 win! Honduras beats Costa Rica, time for Panama to finish off Mexico!
  • Laley23
    Even if panama just draws with Mexico it will set them up nicely with USA likely sending out a lesser squad and Costa Rica will want to still win that last game...
  • Mulva
    Panama looks real shaky.
  • OSH
    Colombia qualify today, as well.

    If Panama and Mexico draw, it seals the deal for Honduras.
  • Mulva
    Mexico takes the lead in the 40th.
  • Fab1b
    Mex 1-0 dammit
  • Fab1b
    What a save!
  • Fab1b
    And 1-1 now 82 min
  • Mulva

  • Fab1b

    Some minor changes in the USMNT roster for Tuesday's matchup in Panama.

    Jermaine Jones, Timmy Howard, Matt Besler, and Landycakes have been removed from the squad. Klinnsman has already announced Brad Guzan is the starter in goal.

    I know I will end up cheering for the USA, because I just can't cheer for my teams to lose if I'm watching. But a loss here would be just fine with me after the fact if Costa Rica beats Mexico by at least 2 goals lol.

    Good chance to get some young guys to play a full 90, hope they give Mix and Aron the nod.
  • Mulva
    Guzan is probably the better keeper right now.

    Maybe in terms of reaction/instinct ability at the moment. Howard has lost a step since the last WC. But what he brings in experience, communication, leadership and ability to get the defense to work as a cohesive unit cannot be matched by anyone else on the roster. For those reasons alone, no Howard is a loss.
  • Automatik
    Agreed. It will be a side day when Howard is no longer playing for the US.

    Was a complement to Guzan more than a knock of Howard. He's a beast in the EPL.

    Do you have a link to the stream? This BeIN crap is annoying.

    Ghana effectively on their way to Brazil with a 6-1 thrashing of Bob Bradley and Egypt today.
