Last game of the Group Stage, boys. Panama is a strong squad who has scored at least one goal in each of their previous matches. We will have our work cut out for us.
Starting XI:
GUZAN
CHANDLER, ALVARADO, BROOKS, JOHNSON
BEDOYA, BECKERMAN, BRADLEY, MORALES
WONDOLOWSKI, ZARDES
Looks like we are running a 4-4-2 with no Altidore...

I like Altidore, but I gotta say I'm pumped to see him out of the lineup tonight. I bet we look so much better in this 4-4-2...even without Dempsey

Official is Mexican official Roberto Garcia Orozco.
He's an experienced official who has officiated in the 2012 Olympics and 2014 World Cup.

Altidore has been lackluster at best. Hope he returns to form but until he does, he should be a 2nd half sub if we need an offensive spark.

I hate wondo 10x worse than Altidore. He's terrible. I like Bedoya out wide

So apparently this officiating crew was supposed to do the earlier match between Haiti and Honduras. Honduras appealed to CONCACAF about it and they decided to flip flop the crews.

Offisdes prevents a Panama goal, and it's the correct call. He was off by half a body.

John Brooks gets a Yellow and will be suspended for the Quarterfinal match since he gets a yellow in two consecutive matches.
16' 0-0

That should be a yellow. No question.

Yellow or a red? Also, my friend at the match said that birds were flying like crazy at the official.

He made no contact with Guzan so I think yellow is appropriate. Dangerous play either way and requires booking

Well, he was off. On the pass prior to the assist. But it was only a matter of time before they knocked one in. They are dominating us so far.

Wondo and Zardes look clueless

Chandler needs to be taken off. Brooks needs to be taken off. Johanson for Wondo. Tell Bradley to get his act together or he can play center back.

The midfield is what is killing us. Bradley is losing all his battles. We can't stay connected beyond the halfway line.

It's been absolutely horrible. Makes you wonder if CONCACAF instructed the officials to be favorable towards Panama. Absolutely disgusting officiating from a veteran group.

Alvarado and Brooks are going to be a solid back line for a while. Beckerman no longer has business playing for the national team
