Two things:

1. Can we transort the Seattle crowd to every game? These guys are fucking awesome.

2. Everytime we see Evans, I think of Brian McBride.

I agree with both of these.

This crowd is great.

And that looked like a penalty to me. Jozy has looked good.

Fuck. I missed the goal... Glad we got one though.

Looks like Jozy might be back which is great. He has been unreal the last few games.

That was SICK! We havent scored a goal like that in over a year (one of Jurgens first game. I forget which).

What a build up, cross and finish!

Eddie Johnson is abusing them on the side but needs better service in the box

By world standards, they're pretty terrible.

The Northwestern of CONCACAF then.

It sounds cliche, but we all said anyone could win this HEX/advance to the WC.

Mexico is 17th in the world and is the highest ranked. Honduras at 52 is the lowest. Just a really balanced group, that we usually dont see.

Jamaica though is struggling.

I disagree. Usually, yes. Its USA/Mexico and then 1 of the other countries. But, currently, I think all 5 (Jamaica has sucked, really) are playing like top 40 teams in the world. That is good.

I think they've benefited from only playing Jamaica away so far. I don't expect them to get another point outside of Panama, and I don't think they'll finish within 5 points of qualification (maybe within the play-in match, but not 3rd).

Edit: Actually as horrible as Mexico has been they probably will. But I think they'll max at 10-12 points.

That doesnt mean they suck though. I would pit Concacaf 3rd right now behind UEFA and Comnebol. We have a really strong group of teams.

I mean, look at the teams in Europe who dont make it. Do they suck? No, and they get 12 teams in. We only get 3 (maybe 4), so just because someone is left out doesnt mean they suck. Generally they do, but I dont think so this year.

Our goal was a great all around play. Everyone in the final 6 had their part.

I'm not sure they'd be a top 20 team in Europe. Maybe my phrasing wasn't correct... I guess I should have said judging them on the world stage level (as in World Cup/final qualification round, not looking at every nation in the world). If you threw Panama in the WC I would expect them to go home with 0 points. And I'd put CAF 3rd ahead of CONCACAF.

Well yeah, I agree with the 0 points. I wouldnt qualify as someone who qualifies as bad though. Miscommunication.

And Concacaf right now might be slightly ahead of CAF. It would be close, but I think top 5 we could take 3 of the matches.
