    Dempsey to Seattle? Pretty cool considering this is likely his last World Cup. If he were younger I'd want him to stay in Europe but being the tail end of his career, it'll be nice for US fans to be able to see him regularly

    Yeah, pretty shocking move there since Dempsey always talks about how he wants to play in the top leagues in the world. But good for him and great for the MLS.

    Incredible. I had a meeting at 4 and the first two goals happened just before I had to leave my desk. Came back to a win. Incredible, incredible win being down 2-0 to a good team half way across the world on their turf.

    The first two goals say yes. That free kick was sick. Man I can't wait to see this team with all their horses on the field at the same time.

    Should be a wild atmosphere in Costa Rica tonight. They are still pissed about the snow game in Colorado a few months back. There were fans waiting at the airport to harass the US team and I guess they were throwing eggs at their bus too. Crazy.

    Anyone know of a good stream for this beIN sport channel that the game is on?? My cable company doesn't even offer that channel unfortunately. It's brutal how hard it is to watch these WCQ games that are on the road.

    Looking forward to tomorrow night vs. Mexico. It's going to be tough with Bradley's injury as well as the 3 guys who are out due to yellow cards. The yellow that Altidore picked up real late vs. Costa Rica was so dumb.
  • we need to win tonight..so important game

    Pretty pumped for tonight. Regardless of Mexico's issues, not going to be easy by any stretch of the imagination. A bit short handed.
  • Can't wait for tonights USMNT game. Playing Mexico in a qualifier at home in C-bus is always exciting. To knock Mexico further into a tail spin would be that much better!

    US 2-1

    A win for England tonight pretty much sees us through and I can book my flight to Brazil :D Although I expect Ukraine to be very tough.

    We as in the US?

    If the US wins tonight and Panama loss or tie to Honduras, then USA is going to Brazil.
