So watching on NBCSN, obviously. Who are the announcers? I just tuned in.

I think Robbie Earle and Kyle Martino ... they're the usual NBCSN soccer guys. I like Earle.

Darn, don't get NBCSN at home. Gotta watch it on the Spanish channels, I guess.

How was the first half, aside from the three goals?

Thanks, I like the accent. Havent had time to watch much MLS on NBCSN, so I havent heard either before tonight. So far I like them, but I wish I was home to hear the goal calls/exciting play. Thats where money is made for me in a soccer broadcast (cue Ian Darke, Donovan goal).

Pretty good outside of the OG gaffe. US had some good runs but couldn't finish. They certainly deserve to be up in this one.

That was beautiful.

And THAT was the influence of Jurgen. None of the bullshit hectic cross. Guys filling close spaces in boxes and making accurate passes in the attacking 3rd. This is awesome to watch tonight, despite it being Scotland.

Holy Shit!!!

Dont let the opponent fool you. This is the best we have looked since the first half versus Brazil 3 years ago (and Spain the game before).

Wonder what the largest margin of victory is for a US team over a European squad...

This 2nd half ha been absolutely beautiful! I'm loving the attack. We're pushing the ball forward and attacking aggressively.

@PCarrESPN: 5 goals matches most #USMNT has scored vs European opponent. Won 5-0 vs Norway in 2006.
