Where is the center ref from?

Jamaica I think what was said pre game. I think I heard that this was his first international to ref as well. But then again, it was noisy at my house and I could have heard wrong.

These are the best refs we've had in awhile.















And they're still awful.

Oh please Twellman. Yes he's letting a substitution happen. It's a stoppage of play and at this level it's a given.

Gosh that was scary

It's his first WCQ but not his first international match.

I'm sorry to keep harping on it but I really don't feel like with hit one good cross in today

Busio has looked good.

agree. Good service has to be to someone- has to be intentional. We seem to just like to service it anywhere inside the 18 and hope someone / runners are there.

I like Busio

You're not wrong.

And Robinson's are almost always abysmal - across multiple games. Which is a shame because his athleticism puts him in great opportunities to deliver.

Jamaica up on Honduras

AR2 was eyeballing Parchment like "dude why aren't you calling this. I'm not calling this **** for you. That's your job"

Ugly

3 points

3 pts!

We'll take it
A lot to address still

Whew!
With all the guys we were missing, coming off a loss, giving up that 1st minute, I'll take it.

3 points. Ugly points. Not sharp points. But 3 points. 7 would have been better but 6 was the absolute minimum this window.

My tv turned on to the game and I saw the score. Why does my life suck so much. All I want in life is to not be spoiled on sport's.

Canada up on Panama now

I flipped to CAN - PAN until Mex kicks off

Paramount+

Ooof. I'm bad luck. 3-1 Canada now. Turning it off

Why is that bad luck?

4-1 Can

We want a draw to start building a cushion.

We want them to draw, don't we?

It was 1-1 until 66'

And good lord we should have scored 5 goals against those jokers

We are on pace for 25 or so points. Keep that pace and we will be in comfortably.
For comparison, we had 12 in 2018 in 10 games and missed by one point. Granted there are more bottom feeder points this time around, but we are still in good shape. The Mexico game is the fulcrum though for the middle part of the cycle.

CRC rolled in with an old team I thought.

Mom! You're embarrassing me!

Berhalter: "Gianluca [Busio], I happened to run into his parents in the lobby of the hotel and they were giving me grief for not playing him, and I said, just be patient, he's going to get his opportunity and we didn't hesitate to put him in at all, no matter what the score"

Just finished the game. Good win.

#5 is not so good on the offensive side. He gets himself in good position, just can't do anything productive. If that is how Gregg wants to attack, they should try someone else for a bit. #5 has the athletic ability, maybe just a little more seasoning.
#8 looked the best I have seen him.
Dest scored the goal and then they forgot all about how he was dominating the game on that side of the pitch. I am sure CR made adjustments, but man, what a disappearing act. Dest, not a face man. Eyes look like the guy on Saturday night live.
Steffan did not look comfortable back there. Not as comfortable as Turner does with these guys.
11 needs a cheeseburger. Love his potential and what he already is doing. Time to hit the weight room a bit.
Hoppe needs more time on the pitch. He was just getting comfortable when they let the air out of the ball.
CR did not look very strong at all. There was no late push. Just old and conceding defeat. Should have stomped them.
Zardes is a nice super sub hustle guy. Wish he had better touch and finish and hair.

Man I wish I had their numbers memorized.
