Re: Grade the US v. Panama
A draw is never a failure. Maybe you can call it a D, but a road draw in particular is never a failure.

I'd like to be able to give them a D. I'd give them an F if they had lost. A "C" is far too generous.

Re: Grade the US v. Panama
A- for Panama's attacking attitude. They should have scored a the very least another goal. B for their defending. They got complacent right at the end.
C for the US's attacking attitude. D for their defending. A+ for their unbelievable luck.

Re: Grade the US v. Panama
Breaking it down I'd give them a C- for the first half and a D- for the second, D over all.
But then again the field conditions really took Donovan and DMB's speed out of the equation. So I'm not really all that bitter about the game like most people are.

Re: Grade the US v. Panama
F - it can only get better from here. I know we could have lost that game, you know what, we should have. That was nothing short of sad and the fans are demanding MORE. Bruce has his work cut out for him, this was hardly a confidence builder.

Re: Grade the US v. Panama
I know all we need to do is to get points and make the next round. I just get so fired up waiting for the game and then they play poorly. I know the field conditions were horrible but they never got on track...I know Bruce is trying different lineups but we didn't finish our chances in the first half and Panama gained mo in the second.....
We are lucky to get out of there with our wallets
Still hate'n

Re: Grade the US v. Panama
It's always unfortunate to look so forward to a game that can be ruined by weather, but it happens. I personally have never played in a game that the weather has made it so terrible that there weren't a few positives to be had of it. The US vs. Grenada game a few weeks ago was just dreadful. It's painful to watch that kind of soccer, but at least we know they won't be that bad everytime we watch them. We were just victims of a bad circumstance, this being the weather and maybe even the refs. Oh well, a point is a point, a lot better than nothing. Time to look forward to the next game.

Re: Grade the US v. Panama
Well if we were finishing better... Anyway, didn't they say something about we have a streak of something like 27 matches now without a loss in Concacaf? The last lost being in Azteca, I think..???
