So glad to see everyone was shitting on Zardes, as I was in my brain. I'm ready for Pulisic to overtake him.

This game calls for Edgar Castillo at some point. FJ on a yellow and should be rested if possible since he doesn't handle heat well.

Yes - Mrs O said the same re: CRC - but credit where due. The attack is lively. I'm enjoying this.

Lalas trolling everyone that wanted to start the younger guys.

If we're going with the 4-4-2, let's get Pulisic on for Zardes.

did Juergen tell Bradley not to venture more than 40 yards from his own goal? if so, its been helpful.

Let's see what this Zusi kid can do...

Zardes would probably go off in a tight game, but I am okay with resting Wood. Zardes at least gets his chance to play his actual position now.

Sad thought as I listen to Holden: he's four years younger than Jones.

Bedoya is just a guy. He's out there doing stuff, filling space, being vaguely in position. Does he actually do anything well? No idea.

Wondolowski. Look out for this youngster. Could be the best US forward since Jovan Kirovski. Glad he's getting some experience.

I think he does a lot of things fairly well and none poorly which is big for the USMNT at this point.

Man this second half is like a testimonial for the 2014 cycle player pool.

Loading up on D is absolutely the right move by the way. Put CR in position to need a big win over Colombia to overcome a hypothetical US-Paraguay draw.

Assuming there's not a big upset later tonight the US should realistically only need a point on Saturday.

San Zusi strikes again!

This really isn't one to remember for the Ticos.

Zusi is a nice bench piece. Solid in defense, strong set pieces, good for holding leads.

Tough for CR. Got GD bombed with Colombia next. Lost 1 player to a shoulder injury, another might have a hand injury
