CONCACAF 2014 World Cup Qualification - Play Resumes June 4

[pjfootballer]

I think we could find 11 of us here on ES to give a good match to every other team in Oceania.

I'd call it - Extremeskins 4- Soloman Islands -2. But only because Destino would give up a howler in goal.

at Destino

I'd have to play middle defense. I'm too slow and lazy to run on the edges.

El Salvador can qualify outright in their next match at home vs Costa Rica with a win.

Panama can clinch with a win at home vs Honduras.

Those are the only games that can clinch spots in the next round.

I would like to see Canada make it just once. Come on Canucks!

DeRosario out for 10-12 weeks

IE- Canada is toast.

That sucks.

I'm a terrible keeper. Leave me in charge of the magic spray instead.

[RichmondRedskin88]

Put me in CF or one of the wings. I played a finisher role.

Ha. I played keeper for a club in college.

I sort of understand (barely) Gordon over Wondo but it's still ludicrous.

[Kilmer17]

As thrilled as I am to see Torres not included, Im more dismayed to see he was replaced with Klestjan.

The good news is that Donovan is included, which means his knee injury might not be as bad as it could have been.

We need to beat A&B by 3, so I'll guess at an attacking lineup.

Howard
Cherundolo, Cameron, Boca, Johnson
Donovan, Williams, Bradley, Zusi
Dempsey, Gomez

I want Boyd to get a serious look...

[RichmondRedskin88]

1-0 US

Eddie Johnson. Cool seeing a MLS guy just called up scoring.

and now 1-1 thanks to horrible US defense smh.

[ixcuincle]

USA scored

Unaware of score, watching Nats game

JozyAltidore just tweeted "Eddie!!!!"

[RichmondRedskin88]

15 seconds away from not making the World Cup AT THE 3rd ROUND. NOT EVEN THE HEX ROUND. Jurgen you got some SERIOUS explaining to do. YOU WERE PLAYING A USL TEAM. NOT JUST A USL TEAM BUT THE WORST ONE IN THE LEAGUE!!!!! By this logic the Richmond Kickers are better than the US national team. I'm happy we won but I"M PISSED!!!!

[jobaga]

Did anyone watch the game? was it a situation where we dominated the game, but A & B had 10 men behind the ball making it difficult to score? Or, is this team underperforming?
