Jerry World is rocking . Great action.

Stupid Berhalter.
Stupid Weah.
Stupid US Soccer, down to the kit man.
Should be rocking a sold out stadium in the knockout round.
Stupid.

This has the feel of one of those matches where Canada are going to rue all these missed chances.

This is a match Canada can absolutely win, especially with how they're playing. Venezuela is a pretty weak QF opponent. Win tonight and any result from the rest of it is total gravy.

Against my better instincts I'll be cheering for our northern neighbors. Shit I think I'll cheer for Panama too, it's not their fault Tim Weah lost his mind (okay maybe a little). But yeah, Concacaf solidarity I guess.
Cmon man, cheering for Concacaf is like cheering for AL East. You’re cheering for the Blue Jays (Mexico is MFY)
Panama is Orioles I guess (the newly good team, least worst of the options)or Costa Rica, they can be likable too.

Honduras Nicaragua El Salvador andGuatemala whichever one of them is ever good are the Rays

But of those, only the MFY routinely stand in the way of our team's goals. If we played Panama and Canada 72 times a year, yeah, I might feel differently. But we play them 1-2 times per year and it's rarely decisive.

This is the best run Panama has had in a decade. Good luck to em.

Edit: except for Eustaquio. Fuck that guy.

What were Canada doing not leaving any defenders back while 1-0 up? Why take a risk like that?

WTF was that.

Embedded Toffee Solomon Rondon from 50 yards out.
LOL at the commentators praising Rondon as if he's some brilliant scorer. This is the guy who score one (1) goal in 27 games at Everton.

I know nothing about Canadas player pool but if they have any pacy CBs coming this team is going to be miserable to play over the next few years. So much pace on the counter

He was awful for Everton but to be fair he’d been out of football for a year and Rafa Benitez (shudder) played him when he was clearly not match fit- he was obese to put it bluntly. He looks bette now.

He shot from midfield because it was less work than running the length
