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...
Walkouts occurring right now. Moments away from kickoff.
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 DempseyQuote:

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.
Uninspired play by the USA so far..
John Brooks yellow 16'
Will be suspended for the Saturday quarterfinal
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.Quote:

Back line is biting us in the ass....again...
And our horrible play leads to a Panama goal
Oh no...I was talking about Guzan's kick getting blocked.Quote:

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.
What kind of shit is that?!
HE HIP CHECKED HIM!!!!!! WOW!
The Donald sez....the refs are from the Mexican gov.
That was a foul.
Chandler effing sucks. Get him off the pitch!
Finally!
After 4 cardable offenses, he finally gets one right.
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.Quote:

Second half is gonna be a good one. May be a street fight.
I wouldn't doubt it in this one...it's getting chippy. And this is one of the rowdiest environments that we have to offer.Quote:

Dempsey and Yedlin checking in for the 2nd half! This is about to crank up another notch!
