Really pleased with USA's current form, loss to Belgium aside (even on our current form our defense is still...troublesome). Hopefully we can keep it up against Honduras and make qualification a mere formality in the latter stages of the hex.

Awesome result but a bit flattering.
Had we conceded early in the 2nd half it could have changed the game.

But great to see kruse, rogic, Milligan and vidisic looking sharp. Good signs of newer players stepping up.

Given Iraq's recent performances, you've got a very good chance. It's nice to see Japan has qualified too. I always enjoy watching them in the World Cup.

so i try not to pay too much attention to transfer rumors...but, apparently, as monaco is making a substantial bid for cr7. i can't say that i see monaco as even a remote possibility for a landing spot for ronaldo if he leaves....monaco?

Well I guess I can finally give up on royston drenthe now

I hope those clowns don't stick Cavani on the wing again today.

Man, I love Cavani.

Me too. If I were the coach I would play him up top with Suarez in the hole. Forlan's best days are well passed him.

dayum pirlo's goal was nice

Pirlo oozes class.

Barzagli

That's the first word that comes to mind when I think of him. I see him as the Steve Nash of soccer.

He's the Chuck Norris of football!

A beautiful counter attack there. I enjoy watching Spain's fluid style so much. It's so relaxing and visually pleasing.
