Yeah...they're through unless Panama wins. Actually, 4 points might be enough as a 3rd place team already, even if Panama wins.
 
They have not clinched yet, but they are unlikely to miss out.  Results need to go against them in all three groups, starting with Panama beating the US.

I think the 2 rest days in the group stage may be having a serious effect on quality (and, obviously, indirectly though lineup choices).  I can understand why the organizers want soccer every day.  But three games in 7 days is too much.  Does another tournament do it like that?  Copa America only had three groups too, but they made sure each team got three days between two of their games.  Especially in the summer in a very large country, it's not appropriate.

Really surprised Bradley is starting, have to think he's not long for this one
I hope he isn't. Most important player to winning this thing. Give him a breather.

Love Zardes up top. But cmon, Wondo?! Let AJ play with him and see if they have some chemistry.

These are Bedoya's first minutes for club or country since May 3.  Don't expect him to go 90.

We need some Yedlin.

Is it just me, or is the audio feed terrible? Crowd mics are drowning out announcers, and I hear this persistent scratching noise.
 
Not just you.  I just switched over to Univision.

Right call. Buttt not sure that half step made the difference. If he is a half step back he still gets that goal I think.
Guzan was hesitant, came out several steps and then retreated, and the CB got out muscled.

can't tell who is in the booth saying the US men didn't do anything to try and draw him off, but i felt like i saw both beckerman and chandler point at him as he was lined up offsides... seemed like it was planned to me

And himself. Chandler is getting skinned by Quintero which is a penalty waiting to happen
Chandler getting abused?! Havent seen that in a while. Oh, he didnt play last game.

And I agree that Bedoya play was bad, play it to Zardes or MB.

Bedoya just seems like a JAG. Decent guy to have around I guess, but you don't want to have to count on him in big games.

Offside.
 
 
Are they not going to show that first angle again?

I give you your starting CB tandem Saturday: Omar Gonzalez and Tim Ream!

And great dummy by Zardes, I'll assume Wondo messed it up.

I dunno, does it really count as a scoring opportunity when it's Bedoya.
 
Yeah...that ball to Yedlin and he separates.

Trip 19yds out. But last man foul also means card.

I will give credit, Wondo did play a nice ball. Maybe a little further and Bedoya scores tho, just saying.

edit: last man i mean obvious goal scoring chance or whatever the latest term is

Timmy Chandler and his badonkadonk need to be taken behind a shed and shot
Edit: metaphorically of course
 
Chandler should be banned from the team if the thermometer gets over 80 F.

Panama
I may be the only person actually rooting for Panama in this board.

Lots of memes going around about Panama suffering from the 80th minute curse. So we'll see what happens.

You want a stat that tells you the gameplan isn't working:

Half of those 37 touches also count as completed passes for Panama.  He's filling up the stat sheet.
