Brad Guzan sucks! #PrayForGuzan
But in my book, you gotta get to White Castle before the weirdos show up!
Tonight he gets Happy-Go-Jackie on the big white guy like a donkey eating a waffle!

This. I almost wanted Martinique to win, tbh...

Outside of Acosta, Morris, and Lichaj, the entire team was putrid garbage.

Landon Donovan is the worst announcer ever, please can his ass. Him asking what a "lot" was made me cackle, but he puts me to sleep.

Holden has been worse than Donovan. Donovan at least gives occasional insight. Holden just cheerleads.

MLS and JK clearly created the perfect storm to ruin a generation of players. MLS looks like a low rent EPL right now. Overpaid pampered domestic players that aren't challenged and foreign signings to fill out the actual talent.

Outside of Rowe every one of these guys is fucking terrible.

Thank god Miazga made it out early and still has a chance.

My thoughts exactly. You know what? Miazga got pro experience in MLS, then picked up much needed ball control and passing skills in the Eredivisie. More players should go to Euro leagues that train them on their weaknesses. Our top MLS players (Acosta, Roldan, Erik Palmer-Brown, etc.) should all be chomping at the bit to get out of MLS and into Belgium, the Netherlands, or another club/league that develops talent.

Seems like JK was right to "snub" all those MLS guys that were supposed to make a difference :roll: ...

Altidore should be praised for not straight punching a Salvadoran player after getting bitten

On the other hand, doing so would've been the most active thing Altidore did on the field all day. Dude really need to get out of the gym and onto the track.

Clint's first six minutes in the super sub role has been pretty good...

Dempsey with a beautiful goal and ties the Landon as the all-time goals leader.

Omar will be this team's downfall. Morris is garbage.

Nice game for Nagbe but dear god does he need to learn to pull the trigger.

Dempsey should send JK a nice preeent for letting him get a shot at the record. If he didn't cut LD in 2014 it would be out of reach.

Jamaica. Wow!

Mexico really choked. Horrible line for a free kick.

Zardes and Morris are laughable as soccer players.

And of course they immediately contrive to fail themselves into scoring the championship clinching goal. JFC.

That was moreso poor goalkeeping, IMO. Ochoa was cheating too hard to the other side of the net.
