Ive got my tickets for tonight!

I hope we just throttle A&B. 8+ goals.

The reality is that this FIRST round of qualifying will be harder to get through than the final round (Hex) will be.

Guatemala, Jamaica and the US will all beat A&B twice, so it will come down to getting points on the road and maybe goal differential. So we need to come out with our A side and lay the wood.

so we have to get to round 4 to qualify for the WC?

Here is the upcoming schedule for the US:

so we have to get to round 4 to qualify for the WC?

We have to get to the top 3 of round 4 to get an automatic spot in the WC. 4th place in round 4 sends us to a playoff. You do not want to take chanced in a playoff. Costa Rica had that honor last year and lost to Uruguay. First step first, though. Gotta get top 2 in our group.

[Kilmer17]

so we have to get to round 4 to qualify for the WC?

Yes. But tonight starts round 3. The first round was a bunch of small islands etc. (Aruba, USVI, Montserrat etc). Then second round was six groups of 4 with the winners of round 1, plus a few larger nations like Haiti, Guatemala, Panama.

The US, Mexico, Costa Rica, Honduras, Jamaica and Cuba got byes to this (the 3rd) round.

[Gibbs Hog Heaven]

Good luck guys.

I'll be rooting for ya'. Following the fortunes of the US of late in WC's has been a blast.

Hail.

Wow, apparently Canada's goalie got a red card today for a handball outside the box in their game against Cuba (Szczesny of Poland also got a red today in the Euro opener). Despite that, Canada wins 1-0.

[boysetsfire]

I expect nothing less than a 3 goal cushion. I just know it'll be 1-0 though.

The US fans are hilariously drunk. They sang the anthem with no regard to the woman brought in to sing it and got way ahead of her. They are no randomly singing and chanting things loudly. Chanting "it's all your fault" at an opposing player in bounding a ball was great.

[boysetsfire]

Playing down to your opponent is so annoying.

[Destino]

Playing down to your opponent is so annoying.

2-0 despite bad play. I'll take it but I prefer 4-0.

[Forehead]

I've got this streaming online while I watch the Nats game and am checking in randomly. Glad to see the boys winning, but am concerned that it's only 2-0 when we're playing Antigua. I saw the PK for goal #2, how did we get the first one?

[renaissance]

I prefer better commentators.

[SkinInsite]

Oh you gotta be kidding me.
