3/19: USA vs. Honduras, pre-game & PbP thread

[wjarrettc]

Johnson starts a great sequence with Noonan who lays off to a wide open Ching who fires wide. What a wasted chance by Ching.

Mathis serves a free kick...Johnson fires over from 6 yards, but was offside on Ralston's flick on.

Yes, this game is a bit off tempo. Not really representative of the speed at which the Mexico v. US game will be played next week.

I'm a huge Nats supporter but agree that EPL is more exciting than this one particular meaningless game. In fact, EPL is more interesting than MANY internationals that I've seen. I spent my morning watching EPL but am not going to turn off the channel on this game just because there was a better one on this morning.

As a Dallas fan I was initially worried to see Eddie's reaction to his goal today. I remember too many times when he scored for the Burn and then jsut looked peeved, kinda a gangster attitude.

today when he scored he started to run to the bench, but then caught himself and ran to Mathis and picked him up, as if to say that was all you.

It was a mature move that I don't think I've seen before from him.

Lets see Arsenal run for a hour at a mile altitude.

Yeah, I noticed this too. No big "look at me" backflip, just a big hug for Mathis and his great assist.

Some mexican fans hold up the poster:"Laugh today, cry tomorrow"...WTF? Mex fans at USA-Hon game are trying to taunt US players....Now they have an inferior complex....They are scared....wow...

Can someone in New England tell Clint Dempsy to grow his hair out again. It looks MUCH better that way.

[wjarrettc]

Martino on for Mathis, Convey on for Noonan at 63 minutes.

Is there a Sam's Army contigent at this game? The only groups I've seen on TV behind the goals are all sitting on their hands. :(

Velasquez and Nunez are starting to stretch our 3 man backline...

Is Drew Carey still doing Color in the box?
