    Alvarado looked silly on that goal. Brutal.

    Almost the same thing

    I really feel the media is pushing a soccer agenda, for whatever reason.

    Oh man you sound like an old man
    they are targeting the hipster and/or gay crowd.

    I have gay family members....I love them....but that's what it is.

    and, I suppose, it's OK....I'll stick with our traditional sports.


    you're better than this, rob.

    Assume they will look better tonight, especially against Haiti. Been a brutal week at work. Looking forward to a bunch of beers and some soccer along with Yanks/Sox.

    I hear ya, man. Had a brutal week. Sox/Cubs about to start right now and US-Haiti tonight. Should be a good afternoon/evening.

    A lot of lineup changes. Interesting with Altidore and Johanson up top and Dempsey right behind them. Win tonight and they win the group.

    Brutal 1st half. Nice bounce back with the goal right away in the 2nd half. Would like to see them score another. I really like Zardes.

    Another poor performance?

    My plan didn't stick. The wife wanted to go out to dinner and ended up snagging a last minute cancellation at one of the best restaurants in philly

    Yep. 3 pretty bad performances in a row. That isn't going to work against Mexico or Costa Rica.

    Jozy dropped from the team for the rest of the tournament. He can't be thrilled but sounds like it is strictly a fitness issue, though kind of surprising he isn't fit almost a year after the injury, if that's the excuse

    Yeah, he definitely didn't look 100% in the first 2 games that he played in. Plus he got yanked early in both of those games.

    The bracket shakes out pretty well. Mexico gets Costa Rica in the quarters, US gets Cuba then Jamaica. Jamaica has apparently looked good but still, it's Jamaica. Should have no problem getting to the finals. Probably going to pull the trigger on tickets this weekend.

    Yeah, pretty nice draw for the US in the knockout stages here. As bad as they have looked, it's really hard to see them not making the final. And that works out nice for you with the final being in Philly.

    Yeah, man. Feeling pretty good about it. 7:30 on a Sunday night too. Should be a good fun day of tailgating.

    Snagged my tickets. I have to figure a lot of people are assuming its going to be US-Mexico and they are starting to go pretty quickly it looks like.

    I can't even imagine the potential atmosphere for a US-Mexico game for a trophy.

    Glad I got my tickets. Game is pretty much sold out. Figure after Sunday everyone is banking on US-Mexico.

    Get it done tomorrow!

    That's awesome. I've still never seen the U.S. in person. Unfortunately they don't schedule many games for them in Chicago anymore since they never seemed to have the homefield advantage when they play here.

    Early start time tonight. Shouldn't be much of a problem getting past Jamaica, but still can't be looking past them.
