The US seems to play Ghana each Cup, so I'll go ahead and assume we draw them.

Miles Robinson tore his achilles.  Just brutal for him and now he's going to miss the World Cup.  Him and Zimmerman had made a really nice center back pairing.  US does have some depth at center back but that's a huge blow.

That's a huge blow. Pretty big opportunity here for John Brooks to get back in form and make amends for whatever he did to piss off GGG

Yeah.  It's clearly something personal with Berhalter when it comes to Brooks.  There's no way you can say that Brooks isn't good enough to even make the roster for WC qualifiers.

This is fantastic!

GGG's dual national recruitment continues to shine.

Malik Tillman and Gabrial "GaGa" Slonina have both pledged to the red, white and blue.

Tilman is a German-American in Bayern Munich's system. Can play midfield, wing or striker.
GaGa is Polish-American and is a GK for the Chicago Fire

The second half was a lot of fun to watch.  Was getting spicy out there! So glad the US tied it up late.

Unreal.  No way he should have been left off.  Same with Steffen.  Turner is obviously the #1 GK but just having the experience of going to a WC for Steffen would be great.  Instead he picks 33 year old Sean Johnson.  Gregg just loves his MLS guys.

I was surprised to see Steffen left off, but what has he really done to cement a spot in the squad other than being the #1 by default for a few years?

He wouldn't have made El Tri's squad either

Let's Go!

Good 30 minutes. Would like a goal before half before these guys can get settled

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM

Can't ask for much more after 45. Now let's close this thing out with 3 points. 

Cliffy6745

This isn't great

I'm not a soccer expert by no means, but was that a DUMB penalty by USA?
