    Lost to Honduras so far and had a big win against Costa Rica. Tonight we have a game against Mexico in Azteca in Mexico City. BIG, BIG game in hell. If we can win tonight it puts us in the driver seat. If we lose, makes it a bit harder. We have Jamaica, Panama and Honduras in June, Costa Rica and Mexico in September and Jamaica and Panama in October. Very important time for US Soccer and Jurgen Klinsmann.

    Very important

    If we win, it'll be awesome if we draw it'll be good.


    But mostly I want to win just for bragging rights.

    awesome to see some peeps watching soccer tonight

    there were a few non calls in favor of the usa i wont complain much

    usa played well as a team and that defense will get better especially when tim howard comes back

    i didnt have much hope for a win but to shut mexico out and get a point things are looking good

    Guzan is old. Same age as Timmy Howard. Bill Hamid and Sean Johnson are the keepers of the future.

    Few observations.
    Great to get out with a point.
    The team played for a tie from the start.
    This was some of the most uninspired attacking EVER.
    The USMNT NEEDS Landon Donovan on the pitch for the 2014 World Cup. NEEDS.
    Clint Dempsey was completely useless this game. Dude barely did anything, at all.
    Klinsmann should be in charge of the USSF, not this team. Great at inspiring and took American in the right direction by working on development but is a horrible in game coach.
    US should be running a 4-4-2, not 4-2-3-1. Altidore DOMINATES in the Nederlands for AZ Alkmaar but he has a strike partner up top. Gomez and Jozy should be high with Landon, Dempsey, Bradley and Shea. That will create some havoc.

    i would love to see the usa attack more and possibly switch formations but what i can see a counter attack strong mid defense will help our stars get the ball in space more offten

    usa cant stop the greats from scoring right now

    once dempsey bradley and altidore get that mid level game going and start attacking in rhythm goals are going to come

    Wow I thought cozan was younger.


    I think Shea should be starting all the time.

    Us didn't do well in passing the ball this game IMo.

    Mexico was attacking the left side of the defense all game and Beasley and Besler held up. There was 0 attack to speak of, but that was probably as much by design as anything else. Mexico unlucky to not get a penalty and take all 3 points. Happy to get a point out of it. Neither Mexico or US playing their best right now but both will still go through. Mexico has to be concerned only getting 2 points (and 0 goals) from 2 home games though.

    Sounds like Landon Donovan will be available for the June qualifiers. I know that we need to move on without him in the future but for the 2014 cycle we need him. I'm glad he took a few months off to get his mind right and he's necessary for this WC. I don't see us making it out of the first round in the WC, but I think with him we have a better chance. Deuce was invisible on Tuesday night. We need the playmaker and we need a freaking 4-4-2!

    USMNT continue their Costa Rica losing streak. They now sit in 2nd in CONCACAF qualifying. Big game against Mexico tomorrow in Columbus. They win, they're in and basically eliminate Mexico.

    I hope you guys lose but still make it. But I don't know how the changing of the coach might affect it.

    Mexico isn't looking good lately
