Two bits on Chelsea:

Drogba has an offer to join Al Wasl -- of course, managed by Maradona...

And the reveal of Chelsea's away kit for 2012-13:

Amid the Euro fever, CONCACAF qualifying kicks off tonight:

Group A
USA
Jamaica
Guatemala
Antigua & Barbuda

Group B
Mexico
Costa Rica
El Salvador
Guyana

Group C
Honduras
Cuba
Canada
Panama

USA vs Antigua & Barbuda tonight on ESPN2. I expect the US and Guatemala out of group A, Mexico and Costa Rica out of group B, and Honduras and Panama out of group C.

Top 3 teams automatically qualify for the WC, fourth team goes into a playoff with the winner of Oceania (probably New Zealand)

Interesting choice by Klinsmann by having Torres play left back tonight.

At least the US got off to a good start with a 3-1 win.

Good win, but Jesus...maybe Oneywu will be done after this stint. He is just terrible and costs us goals.

Agreed, he needs to be done. Klinsmann needs to make this change, let someone else get the experience.

WC is 2 years away, no point in putting Oneywu out there.

Ankle x-ray not looking good for Torres.

On a negative (but now a bright) note, the USMNT was 1 for 11 when Jose Torres started...now they are 2 for 12!

Looks good. I hope it's basically 2012 with some fixes/tweaks. The FIFA '12 was wayyyy too glitchy IMO.

I honestly don't expect a win @ Guatemala. I have no doubt that we'll win the group and advance easily, but I don't like this matchup.

Not that I dont not expect a win (you follow all that?:D). But I would gladly take a draw. Draw or win I put at like 70%. Ill say 30% chance we lose.

Win - 20%
Draw - 50%
Lose - 30%

If Jurgen is going to get the US over the hump and to the next level, they need to beat Guatemala. Always hostile for the US there, but they need a positive result.

Can't wait! I just hope it'll go in our favor...

Gooch not starting. Thanks God.

Cherundolo, Boca, Johnson and Goodson are the defenders.
