Remarkable how difficult a simple pass in the midfield looked at times. Numerous balls which weren't even contested on Sat looked like invitations to WIDE OPEN counter runs tonight.
Mexico beat the same Brazil squad today, 2-0.
US ties Canada, 0-0.
Was the Scotland game a mirage?
"The players make the manager, it's never the other way." - Sparky Anderson
I don't think Scotland was a mirage, but this game was definitely the worst of the three. No heart, no coordinate attack, overall sloppy play. Castillo was lucky the ref called a phantom foul to void the goal. What was he thinking? He should have just conceded a throw in. We teach 5 yr olds to never play it toward the box on defense. I hope Fabian Johnson gets better soon.

Tonight was awful
Well, they start counting for keepsies tonight. Antigua and Barbuda SHOULD be an easy victory, but @ Guatemala on Tuesday will be tough (as playing @ Guatemala always is).

I will be posting a link to a stream in this thread.

Basically Australia played against Oman in a WC qualifer. It was 104 degrees and the ref had to stop the game twice in the first half for water breaks.
Nice job FIFA.
Pretty sloppy. Obviously I'll take the win, but that was uninspired for the most part.
Donovan and Gomez stood out. Gooch was awful.

It must be difficult to know how good your team is in this WCQ group. You have Mexico and the US....that is it. It's like if you were in Europe and you had Germany and Italy...and then Armenia, Belgium and Finland.
