GK - Rimaldo

CB - Goodson
CB - Orozco
RB - Parkhurst
CDM - Beckerman
RM - Corona
CM - Diserkud

Interesting lineup. Glad Mix is getting the start.

Early goal for Wondo. US has been applying the pressure exceptionally

 

[hoppyhoppyhippo]

Wondo again. Where was this one last gold cup?

 

[hoppyhoppyhippo]

dive results in a chance, horrible man marking.

 

[hoppyhoppyhippo]

Wondo is having himself a game. Making Jurgen look like a genius.

 

[hoppyhoppyhippo]

Another dominant showing by the US B Team. I really liked te Mix/Holden pairing. THe game opened up a lot in the second half.

I don't have fox soccer any more, so I didn't get to watch it, but it sounded like a fun game.
What about Wondo's name being spelled wrong?? Whats up with that? You'd think that wouldn't happen at this level.

Yea, but he says he's very superstitious, so don't be surprised if its Wondowlowski next game too.

Portland gets the All Star game next year, going to be an amazing scene.

Yeah, that'll probably be the rowdiest (is that a word?) All-Star match yet. But Sporting Park this year will likely be nuts.

Cuba needs to stick to cigars and baseball....

HA! But seriously, Wondo is killing it. Like Wynalda said, he should keep the extra "W" on the back of his jersey.

Anybody else want to see USAvMEX in the final? :rockin:

The uniform guy had an extra W sewn on the inside of his jersey so he can have the 3 Ws.

GOO!!

I haven't caught up on highlights yet and now I think I really need to. Seriously, that's going to at least the finals of GotY voting, if not win it.

Shea nets the US the top spot in the table.

Their prize for winning is they get El Salvador instead of Honduras, not a bad prize.

Fun game to watch last night, Costa Rica and USA seem to always play each other tough.

I think the Costa Ricans definitely had the hump from the snow-bowl.

The break for the Shea goal was very nice. Killer vision and killer ball from Donovan.

are these games on cable or what? I have not seen a single one of the available. Are you guys streaming them?

Fox Soccer & I think 1 game has been on Fox (free to air).

In think this Sunday's game is back on big fox.

They have been on FOX and Fox Soccer Channel.

I dropped fox soccer.
Can't wait for every EPL game being shown for just the price of basic cable (in my area w/ Comcast).

Saved myself $70 per month.

I am so very excited about the NBC deal.

They don't have much soccer on there anymore. Past the Gold Cup and the Europa league, what else do they show?

They still have the champions league, and the FA cup for 1 more year.
But I think they are going to re-brand the current "Fox Sports" channel to be Fox Sports 1, where they will show "some" soccer.

Yeah, Fox is consolidating that and SPEED I think. Tbh if NBC Sports can give me my EPL fix then I'm golden....

I get all the Timbers games here on local cable which is all the soccer I can handle. It is nice that we get such a great product. I dig the World Cup but qualifiers s too much for the casual fan. I have some ins on corporate sponsor seats for Timbers games so I can go when I ask. I still only go to about two games a season. I do plan on going to a playoff game this year if it works into my college football schedule. That would be a blast!
