  More than likely, just will need a draw. But yeah, can't count on anything.

  Barring a shocker tomorrow against Peru.
  
  Probably looking at a 2nd match in 2 weeks against Ecuador.
• slingshot4ever

  Won't it probably be Ecuador who will get 3 points off Haiti and jimp
  Peru with just 4 puts (assuming loss to Brazil)?
• slingshot4ever

  Ecuador it is
• Mulva

  

  Peru leads Brazil 1-0 on a handball goal. After about 3 minutes conferring the referee let it stand.

  Damn, wish the US would have finished second now lol
• sportchampps

  Bye Bye Brazil

  Amazing Brazil misses out on knockout round. Bye bye Dunga.

  Why are players aloud to touch and push officials? How the hell is anything done with all the players surrounding the official as he is attempting to confer? Such a backwards game in so many respects, IMHO that helps lead to the violence that occurs.

  US up 1-0 at half on Ecuador
• slingshot4ever

  USA advances 2-1...most of second half played with 10 on each side. Jermaine Jones was sent off for US
• wildcats20

  

  US will be without Jones, Wood, and Bedoya.
• Laley23

  

  Will Yedlin be back? I can't remember what the rule is for actual red card vs accumulation red cards
• iclfan2

  

  The red card on Jones made no sense. It was a straight red and he got it after getting his feet kicked out from under him from behind?

  Bedoya was the one who got kicked from behind. Jones came over and pushed Valencia. Ref saw it and gave the red card.
  
  I thought it was a very weak red.

  Ahh thanks, I was flipping back and forth. Regardless, you don't get a straight red for pushing a guy. Imo a straight red is reserved for only the worst kind of fouls.

  Yeah I just happened to flip over right when it happened. Fox did an awful job showing replays but jones definitely shoved Valencia. But definitely agree it should not have been a red.

  Jones gave him a tap to the face, that an automatic red .

  So I had saw a tweet that said Bedoya would be out too, but now I can't find it.
  
  Jones is out and so is Wood. Yedlin will be back.

  Actually, the 4th official was the one who suggested that Jones get the red. Very weak, even the replays show there wasn't any real contact with the face. Hands were up, but that's about it.

  As Dr. Joe stated, it's really only a red if the player(s) weren't involved in the original foul and there was a little scrum as a result of it. Trying to avoid the mob-style pushing and shoving.
  
  Of anyone that should have been carded, it was probably Brooks who came in from out of nowhere and really put a good shove on some Ecuadorian from behind.
