Dempsey with his 2nd goal within 5 minutes and the 2nd one was a thing of beauty. Like_that you're one lucky person to be at the game I would have loved to be watching this in person haha.

Dempsey is awesome. Nice to see Altidore playing MUCH better than the last couple of games. With these 3 WCQ games coming up in the next 2 weeks, they need to have some more repeat performances like this.

Aside from that lapse in defense for a bit...not a bad little match today.

We needed some positivity going for the boys headed into WCQ. And, I'll echo the Altidore sentiments. First goal since 2011! I hope he continues his form.

Awesome game to attend. Dempseys second goal was a fucking beauty. Defense needs to stop falling asleep. I couldn't tell but it looked like the US got lucky on the offside call in the first half.

Nope, easy call. Klose was 1.5+ yards offside.

Hex action restarts tonight. Mexico-Jamaica.

Japan also officially qualified for the cup today.

C'mon Jamaica - I know a win puts them above the US for the time being, but it'd be way too sweet to have Mexico at the bottom of the group through 4 games.

As long as we're on the subject of WC qualifying, how many points does the US need in their next three to feel good? Six? Seven? Thinking that 16 points is the safe, I'd say seven and we feel good (needing five points with 4 to play), six and we're in the mix (six with 4 to go), less and it's worry time. If they get nine (needing three points with 4 to play) I'd be over-the-moon happy.

Mexico scored the second I turned the match on.

I would feel comfortable in terms of advancing with 6 points in the next 3, but I think 7 should be expected.
