Lol. A W probably should be expected but it is nice to see some of the younger guys in the US player pool in action.

Freddy Adu, Brek Shea, Juan Agudelo...all USA

It's always good to see the U23 squad tearing it up.

And Joe Corona with the hat trick against Cuba. There's a good amount of talent on this squad. Just need to keep developing these kids.

Match is on Universal Sports (ch 625 on Directv) if you're inclined to watch. Also available streaming on CONCACAF.com I believe.

Agudelo out for the remainder of the tournament with a torn meniscus. Bunbury starting today.

I missed the first half but I'm watching now. How'd we look?

 

[shagcarpetjesus]

Pretty lackluster. Decent in possession but not much threatening action in the final third. Maybe Gyau can make something happen.

 

[shagcarpetjesus]

Adu free kick headed home by Opara but Opara ruled offsides correctly. Still scoreless.

 

[VikesFan22]

That was a nice free kick and header too.

 

[shagcarpetjesus]

Canada scores on corner. 1-0. That should have been Hamid's ball but he got beat to the spot.

 

[VikesFan22]

Shea could have done soo much better there.

 

[ianoconnor]

Embarassment.

good thing there wasn't a cybookie on this. I would be a much poorer man right now.

 

[shagcarpetjesus]

Ick. Gotta win Monday.

 

[shagcarpetjesus]

Win or go home for the US tonight vs El Salvador.

It looks like Cuba saved America's bacon in the 91st minute. Win tonight and they advance and avoid Mexico.
