Ugh, a 10:05pm ET kick off is ridiculous.

Every time I see the Panama squad, I get agitated that we literally kept Mexico's WC hopes alive in 2014.

I wish we would have thrown a weakened squad at that game, as I believe we had already qualified.

Do y'all see any changes to the lineup going into this game? Or keep rolling with what worked last game?

Arena's hinted at more than injury dictated changes.

Quote:

"We won't have a lot of changes but we must have a couple at a minimum with the loss of Lletget and Brooks," Arena said at a news conference. "There will be some changes, perhaps as many as four or five, but we'll see after training today before we finalize our team."

Arena: We won't have a lot of changes, but we might end up switching around about half of the team.

Seriously. About 40% isn't much change.

Nice piece from Grant bout the last time US played in Panama for WCQ. Short article but loved:

  • Being able to re-watch the Mexican commentator rant on how bad the MNT.
  • The tid bit about Panama's plan to release a fan onto the pitch to waste time
  • Arena's response to the Zusi goal

Think about how the Panamanians feel!

I think Arena makes a good point. Don't think we would've gotten the same help from Mexico.

absolutely not...they'd be throwing out a middle school team there if them losing meant we missed the world cup

"We're not smart enough to think like that. If we were smart enough, we wouldn't have broken their hearts. Pretty stupid if you ask me. You think Mexico would have scored a goal [to save the U.S.'s World Cup] at the end of that game?"
savage!

So my take is that the team tanked the 2nd game to dump JK, and they know it's on them to make up for that and get us back on track. That is part of the reason we saw such an inspired performance Friday and why I expect the same kind of battling squad tonight. Tougher ask on the road though, tonight will say a lot.

I get to watch tonight!!

Oh wait. It is on beIN. So no I don't. And I don't speak a lick of Spanish beside calling someone a very dirty word or two so Telemundo would have to be muted. Man I hate these away legs.

Seriously guys. Get the go90 app and you can stream beIN. It's free from Verizon (at least for now) and you don't need to have a Verizon plan.

Seems like a decent alternative, but I don't currently use Chromecast or appletv, so id be stuck watching on a phone?

No Cameron. The back line makes me very very nervous with Gonzales and Susi on the right.

Interesting thought. Wonder how good he will be at sticking to that role, he likes to float around.

Or on a tablet. And you can always plug in to your TV if you've got an HDMI adaptor.

Switch Bradley with Beckermann. Switch Beckermann with Pulisic. Nagbe on the left and jones on the right?

Go90 app up and ready to go. Since there ain't no such thing as a free lunch I have my fingers crossed it doesn't find a way to charge me.
