CONCACAF HEXAGONAL MATCH DAY 2 & MATCH DAY 3

Match Day 2 Fixtures:

Honduras - Mexico
Jamaica - Panama
United States - Costa Rica

Standings After Match Day 1:

Honduras 1-0-0 +1 3pts
Costa Rica 0-1-0 0 1
Panama 0-1-0 0 1
Jamaica 0-1-0 0 1
Mexico 0-1-0 0 1
United States 0-0-1 -1 0


Interesting Notes:

Honduras' second straight home fixture could see them move as many as 4 points clear of the pack going into match day 3. A victory by Honduras could set a must win game for both the United States and Mexico, the consensus top 2 finishers in match day 3 in Estadio Azteca in 4 days. Belief is low in the American camp after the AOL Sporting News investigation revealed several players have less than full confidence in Jurgen Klinsmann.




Its D-Day for the US. Having to go to Azteca in 4 days, we must get three points or its all over for both JK and the World Cup 2014.

The Honduran media has really been spicing up the match with comics, video and the like (The Mexican media gives as much as it takes of course, usually by belittling insurance and giving them little importance.)and I think it's working. I'm not even going to be at the match and I feel a bit tense. Mexico hasn't won in Honduras since 1964.

I don't know what to expect from US-Costa Rica. You'll score a goal from a set piece for sure though.

Mexico currently blowing 2-0 lead, making me feel all kinds of good about the US slow start.

Concacaf refs can eat a dick to be honest.

Result kinda ruined my day. I feel all down and shit.

This weather really gives our team a nice home advantage for once that was some great scheduling. Although right now I fear this weather will result in a 0-0 draw.

I think Concacaf refs are probably the worst referees in the entire world. Coupled with crazy Central American home matches (i.e. Honduras and Panama) which add pressure on them.

Speaking of weather. They played the Honduras Mexico match at a 102° F.

Fuck that.

Final (Somehow) in Colorado. Dempsey scores the lone goal. 1-0 USA

Panama and Jamaica drew as well. USA up to second from bottom. Costa Rica to the bottom.

Drawing our way to the WC.

This Klinsmann project just isn't working. Scuba was right. He's not the right dude for the job. Would love to have Bob back.

Either one would be nice. They both understood our game better than Klinsmann. Love Klinsmann as a football mind but he's just not right for USA. We don't have the capability that he prefers. We're probably going to qualify, but our chances of getting through the group (which will undoubtedly include a major power) are questionable, at best. We only got out of group last time because we had a weak group and the super power in our group was not in form. Bottom line, our national team is not making progress.

That was a fun watch.

The U.S. vs. Costa Rica game might have to be replayed.

No way that would happen. I know they are looking into the Tico's complaint but it's just them being diplomatic.

Although, on the personal level I agree with Costa Rica that the game should never had been played. I'm not really sure what went on that they didn't just postpone the game like they did with Russia and Northern Ireland.

It should never had been played but what is done is done and I think it's a dick move if they actually forced the US into a rematch.

I think we are going to beat Mexico tonight guys.

[American Kyro]Mexico will thrash us.[/American Kyro]

Seriously tho...historic draw coming up.

I always feel confident about everything we do, but I dunno, I know the odds are low, but I'd be really dissapointed with a loss.

Loss would suck. Draw we be sweet. Win would be orgasmic.

Without Lando too

I want us to win and Dempsey to overtake him as the all time WCQ just to rub it in his face

I do too.

Chepo named the most uninspiring captain of Mexico's history last night. Guillermo Ochoa.

The US has Clint Dempsey, Mexico has Guillermo Ochoa, fuck sakes.

This is what happens when Salcido says he doesn't want to be captain.

I don't think it'll be close. 2 or 3 goal win for Mexico.

I want to think Mexico will win but I'm preparing myself emotionally for when they don't. I do it every match.

Silly of Mexico for not taking full advantage of the weather like the other national teams are doing, too.

We've never played a qualifier there during nighttime. At least since we started getting decent. So not sure why you guys are changing now.

Yeah. I wasn't even aware that the game was going to be on so late until earlier today.

I thought it was going to be at noon or 3pm at the latest.

Even though, we are going to lose..... take it away, Macklemore.

Besler

Goodson is a train wreck too though.

Just saw; Dempsey, Hercules and Altidore.

US van con todo.
