   re: US match, Bob Ley says two yellows or red carry over to WC… Wouldn’t that be applied to the next int’l match? Doesn’t get applied in a int’l friendly? (i.e. WC warmup matches)

   I don’t think so, Sven. I think, and I can’t believe I’m saying this, ESPN got something right about footie.

   @cj – don’t be silly

   Anything that warrants a suspension (reds, two yellows, stuff after the fact) carries over to the World Cup. The lineup is fine, really wanted to see Torres get a start though. 2nd game in a row that Ching doesn’t make the bench, either he’s hurt, or maybe he’s fallen out of favor.

   and Argentina goal after a ping-pong from the ensuing free kick.

   Book it.

   Did Harkes just say the USMNT put “the knife in the coffin” down in Honduras?

   On October 14, 2009 @ 20:03 Goat says:

   If Torres doesn’t see the field, Ima be pissed. That’s not quite as bad as Georger coming out of the booth, but still.

    The US looks up for it.

    9th minute soon – fans supposed to hold up the #9 for Charlie

    Conor Casey everyone!

13. 
    On October 14, 2009 @ 20:14 The NY Kid says:

    Conor Casey fucking bottled it. What a nonce.

    And Greg Lalas wants me to love the bald oaf.

14. 
    On October 14, 2009 @ 20:14 jjf3 says:

    and that is why Conor Casey still sucks, 2 goals in Honduras or no…

15. 
    On October 14, 2009 @ 20:14 sven says:

    THAT is why Casey is not a int’l caliber player.

    That goal would have been in the 9th minute too.

    Way to blow the tribute, Connor.

16. 
    On October 14, 2009 @ 20:15 Goat says:

    Can we start shitting on Casey again?

17.

    Fucking Conor Casey.

22. 
    On October 14, 2009 @ 20:16 The NY Kid says:

    @sven – good point. Casey fucked up the tribute goal.

    And TIMMAY is a fucking cat.

    I blame Phil Brown for that Jozy miss. Regular pitch time and he puts that in.

    I enjoy Holden’s play, but not his spiky hair.

27. 
    On October 14, 2009 @ 20:25 J says:

    The US gets too impatient when the centerbacks have the ball in their half. They make a couple of easy passes and then boot it forward.

28. 
    On October 14, 2009 @ 20:25 The NY Kid says:

    I’m gonna punch Conor Casey in the balls.

    Gooch… that one is on you.

    You stabbed AND got beat.

32.

    Good strength there. Very surprised that happened around Gooch.

33. 
    On October 14, 2009 @ 20:26 The NY Kid says:

    ooh, thats all on Gooch

34. 
    On October 14, 2009 @ 20:27 Highbury Library says:

    Also, Gooch needs pitch time or we’re fucked in SA.

    I think it’s that time:

    BRADLEY OUT!

    Now would be a good time to protect yourself from any neighboring Hondurans.

43. 
    On October 14, 2009 @ 20:31 cjdomer04 says:

    and Costa Ricans, for that matter.

44. 
    On October 14, 2009 @ 20:38 sven says:

    Alright, let’s not suck Lando’s dick over the free-kick in Honduras… it was good, but it wasn’t THAT great.

45. 
    On October 14, 2009 @ 20:42 jgaugust says:

    That was a beautiful move and not the right finish. Good play though.

46. 
    On October 14, 2009 @ 20:42 Highbury Library says:

    Can any of these fucks put the ball in the GD net?

47. 
    On October 14, 2009 @ 20:43 EllisCarver says:

    @sven Funny you say that about Lando…

48. 
    On October 14, 2009 @ 20:44 J says:

    Two 1 v 1 on the goalie and two blasted over the bar.

49. 
    On October 14, 2009 @ 20:46 sven says:

    @Ellis and Lando immediately says “No, please! Go ahead!”

    we are dire in front of goal tonight

    It is just not their night thus far.

53. 
    On October 14, 2009 @ 20:51 phil says:

    This is shambolic finishing.

54. 
    On October 14, 2009 @ 20:56 sven says:

    Funny they should be so fucking worried about Jozy getting a second yellow. If Bradley thinks of him as such a great asset (which he is), then why didn’t he start vs. Honduras?

55. 
    On October 14, 2009 @ 20:57 Ryan says:

    US to win 3-2, we’ve had more than enough chances.

56. 
    On October 14, 2009 @ 20:57 teeknuts says:

    Just got back from seeing Zombieland, is the 0-2 score a fair one or are we just unlucky?

57. 
    On October 14, 2009 @ 21:00 phil says:

    Really thought that was a lead-in for a USMNT-zombie joke, teek….

58. 
    On October 14, 2009 @ 21:02 Ryan says:

    @teek Defense shambolic as always. Casey and Donovan both screwed up 1 v 1s. Bunch of other half and full chances for the US. I’d say it’s relatively fair.

59. 
    On October 14, 2009 @ 21:02 teeknuts says:

    Well, that would be something a clever person would do. Alas, that’s not me.

60. 
    On October 14, 2009 @ 21:05 jjf3 says:

    UEFA note: per BBC scribe (if true), Portugal, France, Russia and Greece get the 4 “seeds”, which leaves Ireland, Bosnia, Slovenia and Ukraine slightly screwed. Though I would still like my chances against France and Greece (and maybe Le Dive isn’t healthy for an opening game in Portugal?)…

61. 
    On October 14, 2009 @ 21:05 teeknuts says:

    Oh fuck you Connor Casey.

62. 
    On October 14, 2009 @ 21:08 phil says:

    So is Ireland out of WC 2010?

63. 
    On October 14, 2009 @ 21:12 jjf3 says:

    Correction: per soccernet scribe. Apologies, mixed up my open windows…
    I don’t think Ireland is out, but that “last-minute” decision didn’t help them…

64. 
    On October 14, 2009 @ 21:23 EllisCarver says:

    It’s amazing how quickly Casey screwed up all that momentum.

65. 
    On October 14, 2009 @ 21:32 teeknuts says:

    It’s unfortunate how that banner looks like it says “Creaming Eagles.” Unfortunate and hilarious.

72. 
    On October 14, 2009 @ 21:44 teeknuts says:

    If Phil Brown plays Jozy more that’s a goal. OK maybe not but fuck Phil Brown.

73. 
    On October 14, 2009 @ 21:45 Highbury Library says:

    The sound you are hearing is the collective thud of people jumping off the Jozy bandwagon.

95.

111. 
     On October 14, 2009 @ 22:00 Georger says:

     The announcers clearly don’t know about the playoff.

     Jozy will get fined for that.

     Lol what the fuck was that guy doing a yard off the post?

127.

     That was great. I would feel fantastic right now, if only I didn’t have the feeling that Gooch tore something.

128. 
     On October 14, 2009 @ 22:05 phil says:

     The sad fact is with a better team choice and better finishing, USMNT wouldn’t have needed a miracle finish. It was fun to watch, but it shouldn’t have come to that.

129. 
     On October 14, 2009 @ 22:05 Georger says:

     Pulled his shirt up to reveal a message, which is worse than diving apparently.

     So hold the fuck on Georger, are you saying they carded Jozy for the Davies shirt?

136.

     Nope, but I would imagine someone will get pissy about it.

137.

     On October 14, 2009 @ 22:14 jjf3 says:

     nah, Jozy never pulled his shirt off, he should be safe…that said, I don’t trust FIFA with MG’s money, much less the US’s…

139. 
     On October 14, 2009 @ 22:19 Ryan says:

     Haha, you scared me. Cause I saw Jozy, shirt, and FIFA, thought someone had given him a 2nd yellow. That would have led to a Ching-Casey front two in the first world cup game.
