WOW!

Ghey.

The World Cup can survive without Brazil if it had to.

Everyone keeps saying its good for CONCACAF to have Mexico in. I disagree. I think it shows the strength of the CONCACAF if Mexico misses out and finishes 5th. We wouldve had 4 teams in the top 30 if results had held. Now we will have 2 I think...

What a crazy game for the US tonight. Nice to see that lineup get a win. I somewhat felt for Panama but wouldn't have been heartbroken to see Mexico out either!

I agree, the WC and Concacaf could easily survive without Mexico qualifying. Give me a break.

With that being said, I wish Mexico didn't get in, however I am happy the US played to win their game. With everything going on in our country, it's a breath of fresh air to see some parts of it still has integrity. It's just not in our country's nature to purposely lose and fix the standings. In international sports, there is always some sketchy going on, I am glad the US wasn't part of it. You never know, the US might be in the same position Mexico was one day, and it would be up to a Mexican win or tie to save them. No one would be happy if Mexico purposely lost to keep the US out. Reps to the USMNT, we can safely say that the Mexican national team is our bitch now : thumbup:.

Also, who knows, if NZ could qualify last WC and earn 3 points against some solid competition (3 ties against slovakia, italy, and paraguay), then maybe they can pull off the upset in the playoff.

Apparently this was the translation of the mexican announcer after the costa rica/mexico game lol:

I completely agree with you here. I love that the US just played the game and even came back to win.

Awesome

I always bet on soccer z(usually a pick me of the Mexican league games) with a few of the Mexican guys who clean our building and the first thing one said when he saw me today was thank you lol

Haha that's crazy. Pretty awesome though.

Been having fun with this today: http://ultra-zone.net/2014-FIFA-World-Cup-Group-Stage-Draws

It's really unfortunate that half of the teams the U.S. is better than will be in the same pot as us.

Not for sure. We could still get lucky and have Mexico lose. Then it would be 3 for us and 5 for Africa (or Comnebol) in a pot. But that is highly unlikely, if we are being honest.

We could also have Jordan beat Uruguay and then the seeded teams will be different. I think only 7 from UEFA would be left which would really mess with some things.

Beautiful goal

Great goal from Spurs. 3 points at Villa is huge. Up 2-0 with 15 to play, looking good.

Fastest goal in MLS history, Tim Cahill scores in 7 seconds.

Interesting UEFA playoffs scheduled.

Ukraine v. France
Sweden v. Portugal
Greece v. Romania
Iceland v. Croatia

I say France, Portugal, Greece, Croatia advance. Sweden-Portgual should be a doozy.

I figured the puppet masters wouldn't allow a Portugal/France matchup. I say Sweden actually beats Portugal. Fuck them. I also can see the Ukraine pulling it off against France.

THE CHAMPIONSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

Arsenal in for a tough one today.

Guzan and Howard putting on a goalkeeper clinic in the Everton/Aston Villa game. Both with pretty big saves so far, including Howard stopping a PK.

Glad to have these two as our one and two.

United just playing bad as usual. Moyes really needs to get fired now!

Not a fan of Moyes. Didn't like the hire to begin with.

Thank you for saving the points for us though, Rooney and Chicharito.

I didn't like the hire at all. He's a terrible, still coaching like he's at Everton. We have the same exact players from last year who won the table easily. We were lucky to get a win, he put all offensive subs in because he knew he HAD to win.
