Times are central time if I'm not mistaken. Go USMNT!

They were really talking up the Mexican team but I've watched them play lately and they don't look good. Chicharito went down in a friendly last week so that hurts their chances.

I like the US to repeat as champions but a team like Costa Rica could do well.

It was a boring final. The latin media are all over Messi. He created chances when they fed him the ball, they just didn't feed him the ball much. Higuain missed a golden chance to win it in open play. Sucks that it came down to penalties but I was happy for Sanchez and happy he scored the winner.

Every article I've read said Honduras dominated the first 25 minutes and threatened heavily to equalize at the end and that the US was lucky to get the 3 points. Brooks was terrible and Altidore wasn't good either. Bradley was off as well. I saw the highlights. Dempsey's first goal was a result of a very lucky bounce. His second was class.

I thought Timmy Chandler, Fabian Johnson and DeAndre Yedlin had the best games. Love Yedlin in the new position. He had a fantastic run that was only ended by a crazy save by the Honduras keep. I thought Zardes looked out of place as a mid.

They gave Chandler a bad grade. Zardes and Yedlin too, although they said Yedlin made some nice runs and threatened with his speed. Dude's got wheels.

Chandler's grade must have been for defense, because he was the only one (with Fabian Johnson once or twice) sustaining possession with runs up the right flank. The middle of the field was giving the ball away with bad passes all night.

Agreed. Very sloppy. They're tough to watch after watching EPL and La Liga teams although it isn't a fair comparison.

Altidore, Diskerud, Garza, and Zusi were all horrible yesterday. I'd like to see Jurgen find 11 guys and stick with it for a while. It's hard enough for them to build chemistry with as little as they play together.

Panama on Monday night.

They won the group already so there's at least a positive. Klinsmann looked pissed last night though.

LOL I was joking... we have a National team but there is so little funding that goes into the Canadian soccer association that it is a joke. The 4 or 5 best Canadian menssoccer players play for other countries because they know they have a better shot at winning World Cups and such. If I had anything to do with it, they would lose their citizenships and tell them to **** off.

The biggest problem in Canada sports wise is if it isn't hockey, it generally doesn't matter... unfortunately

Nah. They are resoundingly Catholic. Obama hates Christians.

Klinsmann is the best coach the US could ever hope to get. I'm not going to blame him for the loss. We need more talent and more guys playing in Europe, not going there to sit on the bench.

That said, they still should have been able to handle Jamaica. Their keeper was atrocious. It's a pretty embarrasing loss that I blame on the players and no one else.

Canada and USA should merge to be one team, the only good thing we do produce is keepers
