Can they get an orange ball? :ols:

I'd bet serious money the ref stops this game now.

3rd world nations stick together.

Shocking turn of events. Turd world ref is silent on an obvious PK.

Jesus H. How many times do US fans have to watch this from Central American refs?

If we can get a damn thru ball to Josie and get one more goal this game will be over. So close on a lot of this stuff.

They are starting to buzz.

Have we had a set piece without a foul save for a corner?

As aweful as that was, I wanted to post the "true standings" after game 1.

Here's the deal. To qualify for the WC, a team needs to finish 3rd or better. So there is no reason to look at 1st place, it does nothing for seeding purposes or the WC draw. If a team wins every home game, and ties every road game, they will finish no worse than 3rd in any scenario. So that should always be considered "par".

After 1 game, the standings against "par" are as follows-

Honduras- Even

Jamaica- Even

Costa Rica- Even

USA -1

Mexico -2

Panama -2

The next round is US vs CR, Hond vs Mex, Jam vs Panama

If the US wins, they will remain -1.

We need to root for a tie in the Jamaica Panama game, and IMO root for Mexico to beat Honduras.

I still think Mexico qualifies with ease at the end of the day, so it is better for the US if they prevent other teams from adding points.

So the real standings would be

Mexico- Even

USA- Minus 1

Costa Rica- Minus 1

Honduras- Minus 2

Jamaica- Minus 2

Panama- Minus 2

If we can somehow earn a point at Mexico on the 26th, then we'll be at 4 points, still minus 1, but in overall good shape.

After that, root for wins at all times by US and Mexico, and ties in any other game.

Updating-

Current Hex standings agains the "Win at home, tie on the road" theory.

USA- Minus 1

Costa Rica- Minus 1

Mexico- Minus 1

Honduras- Minus 2

Jamaica- Minus 2

Panama- Minus 2

Today was a very good day for our qualifyinng chances.

If we can manage a point Tuesday, we'll be sitting pretty.
