    for stream check out wiziwig.com . You may have to install an add-on, and be careful to unclick all the adware that's clicked on by default during installation. Also, the stream I'm watching is in Arabic...

    I found an android streaming app. Seems to work okay for someone without access to a computer, but with ads. I figure I'll delete after the game. Free soccer streaming.

    2 beautiful goals, btw.

    I feel bad saying this when you're all searching for streams etc. I'm watching in HD on beIN sports! Don't hate!

    And yep, two beauties. Second half should be interesting.

    The MLS is killing U.S.soccer! It's making Honduras way too good. Dismantle the league while there's still a chance!

    Very promising stuff from Boniek today. He was the best man on the pitch.

    * Cameron was bad - I think not playing CB any longer is killing him. Forget the goal; he whiffed on two balls earlier in the half, one of which could have led to the same situation as the goal.
    * Gonzalez - uhh - really? The ball is rolling past your net and you slow down and check behind you?
    * Howard - I have been on the record as saying I think it is time for a bit more athleticism at that position.
    * Outside backs - neither was terrible. Their chances were up the middle.
    * Speaking of the middle - outside of a twenty minute stretch in the second half, what do we think about some possession?
    * Outside mids - aside from the fact that we didn't actually start any, Jones is terrible. The guy would trip over his own feet after an amputation.
    * Someone tell me why Gomez isn't starting up top.

    Coaching. I have been scared for some time of our new regime and performances like today do not ease my pain. The team looked uninterested at times. Little passion transforming itself into play. Tactically, we brought 54 central middies to the match and no speed; then subs out what limited speed we have. He starts essentially "two freshman center backs" that have never played together. It is embarrassing to watch our tactical approach, or lack there of. Are we a possession team? A bunker and counter team? Who the hell knows.

    That was one of the things Klinsmann consistently promoted when he first took the job. A "style" of play.

    I think that the whole vision of the team is wrong. They brought in a bunch of players from Europe that are mediocre, riding the pine, or are out of form. This team has never looked good. It's a pathetic mess. Players in form like Castillo, Torres could have been more useful.

    Crap.

    Absolute and utter crap today.

    Play like that against Costa Rica and we'll have zero points after three matches.

    Your points are good. The only quibble I have is with your implication that Howard is not athletic enough. I disagree, I think he is quick and agile as a cat. He is a great shot stopper with quick reaction saves his forte.

    However; I do think that he doesn't have enough range laterally and vertically due to his shorter stature. Som eof our younger keepers like Tally have a longer wing span and better range in my opinion. Howard plays pretty far out of his box to cut the angle to increase his chance on wide shots. But he is very susceptible to the corner shots and wide shots when he has to play closer to his line. The last world cup goals against us are worth watching again to illustrate this.

    What would our option be in goal? I am not impressed by Brad Guzan. I know Villa sucks this year but he missed many saveable balls and I've always thought he gets too frenetic and helter-skelter in the goal box.

    Howard isn't the same athletically as he uses to be - people forget just how long he has been in the EPL. Still, I get irritated when I hear announcers say he had "no chance" on all goals that go in on him. Yesterday, the first goal he really had no chance - just exquisite. The second one he contributed to the team failure.
