We are blessed that the foul was called.

Their player pretty clearly held down Zimmerman with both arms for a good three or four seconds before the ball got there.
He's trying to be impartial so he can potentially get some bigger games in the future that aren't just US men's national team
Idk, not much there, and VAR would have confirmed a goal.
There was no clear and obvious error.

Paul gets his leg broken and they give the ball to Jamaica.

It's amazing how every away game = the world is ending when you're just having to follow based on web comments.

Got lucky on the header. I would not have called a foul.

A point on the road and the win at home is the path to qualifying.

Hoping for a 0-0 tie in Canada tonight!

And Pulisic didn't get hurt!

jamaica was robbed of a goal and missed a tap-in opportunity. lucky to get a point. one of our worst overall performances in WCQ so far. only not worse than the one in el salvador because of Weah's early goal.

now, can't wait to see the snow match in edmonton.

To be expected.

US should take this point and run for the airport. Jamaica was by far the better side tonight.

Pretty disappointing effort coming off the Mexico game. Not sure there was a single quality pass into the box tonight by the US. Maybe a couple early, definitely nothing later.

Keep getting healthy and get ready for the next round.

ETA: that came out more negative than I intended but I'll leave it as posted. Looking forward to the next set of games to see how the team improves off this one. 4 points against Mexico and Jamaica is nothing to sneeze at, even if we weren't firing on all cylinders today.

He has both his arms on Zimmerman's shoulders holding him down. There's no world where Zimmerman is not able to get up for that ball if he is not being fouled. There's no one around them, the ref has clear line of sight of it happening and he calls it before the header even happens

In a game like that we generated a ton of crossing opportunities from the wing and didn't hit a single good cross in. When you're playing on a crappy pitch you have to have good service. Especially when we're going out of our way to generate possession down the wing someone on the field has to be able to hit a cross in.

He doesn't know the laws. He's basing it on the law when he played the game. That was not a handball.

Could have also easily had a PK with VAR

Literally with VAR that's probably a 3-1 game.

Played for the point in the second half, typical cowardly US. Couldn't pass our way out of a wet paper bag. Lost every 50/50 challenge. Just looked like we'd rather be anywhere but there


At some point you have to stop talking about how hard it is to play on the road and actually put a performance out that looks like a group of competent soccer players. Results be damned, just ****ing look like you belong

We played very mediocre after Jamaica scored the equalizer. The first 20 minutes we looked great

LOL.... whos' the woman pundit?

She said that he shouldn't have called the foul on the corner based on how he didn't call the handball. What?

I agree we got lucky on the corner...but that was not a handball.

I'll calm down when our team stops routinely turning in performances where they look like they've literally never played a competitive match as a team before.

We may have gotten a point, but todays performance was embarrassing. The point just papers over the cracks because people will act like we did what we had to, even though we were thoroughly outclassed and lucky to hold on.

Did like how the referee said politically correctly said, based on the current laws that is not a handball.

I mean seriously, your job is to talk about the game. Keep up with the laws.

Embarrassing? ****ting your pants is embarrassing. This is how sports go.

The US playing this poorly against Jamaica is the sporting equivalent of ****ting your pants

Take a look at the zoo after we lost to Arkansas. That's what we just did. It's not even the loss (or draw, in this case). It's the fact that other than for a few moments (Spiller's TD run/Weah's goal), we didn't even look like we belonged.

Nothing anyone does in sports is embarrassing. You take the point. You're disappointed the 3 was there.

that's a huge problem when we get to Qatar.. if heaven forbid, Weston or Adams or worst nightmare both are not available for an important match, we're Effed. We need more talented depth in the midfield. Musah and Busio are coming along nicely, but still such a drop in our whole squad without Weston today.

The problem for USA is very similar for Mexico. USA gets up for Mexico since that is a huge rivalry, and similarly Mexico tends to play down to their competition and only gets up for big time games against the traditional world powers. (Not so much against USA though.)

It's incredibly frustrating.

Hope we pull it out vs Canada tonight.
