    Some good highlights of the game.

    Not a goal, but 3:10 is my favorite play of the night. Jozy could have had 2 assists on the night.

    I enjoy watching soccer live, but on television it just doesn't do it for me.

    Doesn't El Tri usually go through two or three managers before they get it right? I hate them, but I always root for them in The Cup though.

    not sure lol. I actually want USA and FMF to do well as a Mexican/American... but dammit I absolutely abhor both Supporters Groups (No not every single person in them :p )

    Neutrally I have cheered for Netherlands since World Cup 94. Edgar Davids was my hero!!!! :pimp:

    Anyone watch the game last night? I know it was on during the Finals game, so I doubt many here did. It wasn't as dominating as against Panama, but Honduras is a much better team so that was to be expected. Crowd (when compared to Seattle's), elevation and heat probably didn't help. Jozy, Bradley and Fabian were all really good. Specifically, Jozy's hold up play should have resulted in more goals for us. He kept controlling it and laying off to Dempsey, Zuzi and others, but none of them could capitalize. Speaking of Dempsey, he was just slightly off all game. That missed header was pretty bad.

    I keep reading about how Jones is worse than Cameron, but i didn't think he was too bad last night. As I said before, Honduras is much better than Panama, so there is that to factor in. Plus, he had to take an early yellow card to cover up one of Omar's brain farts. With the speed he closed down that player, I'm not sure if anyone else on our team could have made that play. I do think when it is Cameron and Bradley, Cam knows he is clearly the inferior player and is more inclined to stay back. That might be fine for some Concacaf teams, but once we're in the WC, I think we need Jone's speed of play.

    All in all, it was good, well fought game. And 9 points from these 3 games was huge.

    The ref missed an obvious handball around 62'. Should have been a PK for USA. Good win, though, especially the team that showed up in the second half.

    Oh yeah, I forgot about that. It could have been 4-0, with that plus some of the missed chances.
