mexico/costa rica will probably bring c squads with no need to win so its actually likely that we are out with a loss.

10/7/2017 9:33:19 PM

Yep. A tie probably puts 3 teams at 13 points with 1.5 spots to share. No doubt we need to win.

Honduras/Mexico 18:00

Panama/Costa Rica 19:00

USA/T&T 20:00


I doubt it happens, but we could be sitting good when we kickoff if Mexico and Costa Rica are up big.

I mean..if we lose Tuesday we deserve to miss out.

^exactly. It sucks that it came down to one game but we had plenty of chances to seal it up but we couldn’t get out of our own way.

[Edited on October 9, 2017 at 1:33 PM. Reason : S]

10/9/2017 1:32:50 PM

yep. this is honestly the least dramatic 'it comes down to one game' moment we could have. Sure, it's away. But it's far and away the weakest team in the hex who has barely been able to get on the board with a <1:3 GF:GA ratio. If we lose, and end up with a losing record in the hex, we don't deserve to even sniff the WC.

10/9/2017 1:48:39 PM

They might even get to head into the game knowing exactly what result is needed, because there's a very real chance the game is delayed even further due to the swamp-like field conditions.

10/9/2017 2:14:12 PM

How are yall watching this tonight?

10/10/2017 5:20:55 PM

Dang I knew US wasn't that into soccer since teams sometimes have to play on football fields, but T&T makes their team play on a golf course?? Jeez....

10/10/2017 8:23:29 PM

I don't see how we make it out of the group stage of the WC if we make it without some serious changes

10/10/2017 8:29:40 PM

Pressure is gonna start creeping in here guess we see how the guys react

10/10/2017 8:37:10 PM

Honduras 1 Mexico 1 in 32'

Panama 0 Costa Rica 0 in 33'

10/10/2017 8:38:13 PM

No pressure everyone just kinda walking looking like my youth soccer team now down 2-0 gonna have to rely on help it appears

10/10/2017 8:39:07 PM

T&T 2 USA 0 in 38'

Panama 0 Costa Rica 1 in 35'

10/10/2017 8:39:48 PM

Wonder what the chances are if we are going to lose that Mexico gives up a goal late as a reward for that whole wall thing

10/10/2017 8:42:46 PM

brooks and fabian are probably our strongest two players.

10/10/2017 8:43:25 PM

4 years ago the U.S. scored late and saved Mexico's chances of making the World Cup in the last match of the Hex.

10/10/2017 9:02:57 PM

big goal before half. 2-1 T&T

actually that was to start the half

finally got Sportie to work on Kodi

lots of chances, but time is running out

10/10/2017 9:47:19 PM

OMG Panama scores as well this is about to put us out wow

10/10/2017 9:48:19 PM

We don't deserve to be in the World Cup.

10/10/2017 9:52:42 PM

This is the sort of thing that US Soccer cant afford to have happen to continue to progress. What an epic failure fire everyone seriously.

10/10/2017 9:54:38 PM

What a disgraceful performance. Hopefully this is Bradley's last international.

10/10/2017 9:55:32 PM

Can Mexico save us?

10/10/2017 9:55:46 PM

I’m in shock.

But fuck Mexico. Should have let their asses rot last cycle..

10/10/2017 9:56:16 PM

they kept klinnsman too long and all these players returning to mls was a bad idea.

[Edited on October 10, 2017 at 9:57 PM. Reason : he set us back 30 years]

10/10/2017 9:56:20 PM

Pathetic! We would have been in the World Cup if we hadn't given up that late goal at home vs Mexico, or if we had tied Costa Rica at home. We lost too many home games in the hex.

10/10/2017 9:57:47 PM

BigSoccer is going to be fun tonight.

I have to laugh at Fox Sports though. They paid all this money...

Gulati is gone from the head of the USSF for sure. There are organizations inside the U.S. Soccer Federation who are not connected to the pro or international game, give nothing but rubber stamp approval to those items, but receive funding subsidized by our World Cup proceeds, and now they're going to be receiving budget cuts. And they have votes in the organization.

Klinsmann was a monorail salesman, always was. He convinced some people of his spiel though, chief among them Gulati. Then when Klinsmann got here he attempted to cover up all his talk and how he wasn't doing any better than Papa Bradley by bringing in guys developed by the German FA because the Germans are better at soccer than we are (or almost anyone else for that matter). Got fired too late, tried to bring in Arena as a Band-Aid, didn't work. What was awesome about the Arena teams of old was the midfield and forwards could get trounced, that back four would hold up and be a fortress. We've not had that fortress for almost all of this decade. And here we are losing to a Trinidad team that entered at 1-8.

[Edited on October 10, 2017 at 10:05 PM. Reason : /]

10/10/2017 9:58:05 PM

You play with fire long enough you are gonna get burned. If we can't beat Trinidad we don't deserve the World Cup.

10/10/2017 9:58:23 PM

Atrocious. Unacceptable.

Arena coming back was never the answer for going forward. I sure didn't expect it to go so far backwards though...

Guess I'll give those 'I' letter islands a cheer then - they are bound to show some passion at least

10/10/2017 9:58:27 PM

don't worry guys, interest in soccer is growing exponentially

I'm not defending Arena, but with this group of players I don't think any coach was the answer.

10/10/2017 10:00:46 PM

my main question is why bring dempsey off the bench in all of these games that were must win.

10/10/2017 10:03:21 PM

Taylor Twellman is apoplectic on Sportscenter.

He's getting older. He came off the bench last game and we won big. There was no need to break what works. That own goal killed us.

Please post links to reactions you enjoy so I can commiserate. I hope this is a kick in the pants for some big changes to soccer in the US.

10/10/2017 10:12:07 PM

we are missing the olympics as well 2x in a row. the players coming up are even worse? howard, dempsey and donovan were our greatest players ever right?

It seems like its pulisic brooks and nobody else from here on...

10/10/2017 10:15:44 PM

I was actually quite worried about this game. We have a history of playing close games @ T&T. In 1989 we won 1-0, in 2009 we won 1-0. We never seem to go down there and put them away.

on a side note, in case you haven't heard, the Netherlands didn't qualify either.
