[Pigslilspaz]

Jamaica defeated the US in Kingston due to horribly sloppy play by the US, and 2 free kicks by the Reggaeboys. Tonights match is at the home field of the Columbus Crew in Ohio. US needs to win this in order to stay solidly in a qualifying spot for the 2014 World Cup

What's the starting 11? Gonna be watching this.

Looking for it, can't find it, then again I can barely think straight while battling this fever for the last week.

Huge game, if we can't win tonight we do not deserve to qualify.

Howard; Cherundolo, Cameron, Bocanegra, Johnson; Jones, Zusi, Williams, Torres; Dempsey, Gomez

We'll see how this goes!

Final score: USA 1-0 Jamaica

Goal by Hercules Gomez in the 55' off a free kick.

After all the good saves the keeper made earlier he really should have had that.
Even though he should have saved that free kick it was a deserved win.

I honestly think that luck with the woodwork did about as much as their keeper even though he played an amazing 90. It should have been 2-0 at half. Jamaica's D looked piss poor until the Free Kick by Gomez, where they finally lit a fire under their butts

good job USA   

[ACE]

America!

[shiv]

Little worried about how much the US took their foot off the gas in the second half but a solid win.

[SEraider]

That was a great goal by Gomez. 

Did you see how intense Geoff Cammeron was?  Now THAT is a centerback!

[shiv]

Cameron looking better and better.  Zusi had a great game too, as Ian Darke must have pointed out 20 times. Darke and Twellman are a great announcing team though. Darke and anybody really.

Torres looks uncomfortable on the left wing though, especially when he tries to come inside. Brek Shea was an immediate upgrade when he finally replaced him.

Torres looks uncomfortable on the left wing though, especially when he tries to come inside. Brek Shea was an immediate upgrade when he finally replaced him.

The knock on Torrez is his lack off speed and stregnth to hold onto the ball in center/playmaking mid.  He is by far the most skillfull player however at the international level, you need the speed and stregnth to withstand physical play.  I think he won't be on the WC team on 2014.

Brek Shea is not really on his game now and needs to step it up otherwise left mid is wide open to Dempsey or even Stuart Holden is he can stay healthy.
