Hell I'll start it myself. If anyone wants to join in, go right ahead. USA G 1 Steve Cronin D 2 Jordan Harvey D 4 Chad Marshall D 5 Ryan Cochrane D 8 Craig Jared Klaas M 11 Ricardo Clark M 3 Justin Mapp M 15 David Johnson M 13 Devin Barclay F 7 Ed Johnson F 9 Santino Quaranta Convey doesn't start due to a passport problem. BigSoccer's own David Johnson is starting instead.
Wearing black armbands for Griffin. More on Convey later I suppose. Haiti supposed to be strong, fast, and organized.
SQ with a nice heel flick to Harvey overlapping. Harvey boffs it up. Clark bad give away. A bit scrappy at the moment.
someone ******************ed up Convey is inelligible tonight because his passport did not arrive in time. How screwed up is this? Hell, someone could have driven it down from his place in DC in 8 hours or less. Someone in the USSF royally screwed up by not being aware of some regulation and now the US team loses its captain at the last minute. While I don't think this will happen, frankly if the US loses, whoever was repsonsible should be fired. Messing up stuff like this just should not be accepted from any kind of professionally run organization.
Please come to the chat room and do the PbP on there, it easier! Also, Convey's passport did not arrive in time.
not a very big crowd here - most vocal presence from Haitians. local tv trying to get some footage for local news, chased off by CONCACAF as the tv rights held exclusively by PPV outfit. way to generate local interest. bobby should be back out there friday.
Goal by Quaranta on beautiful turn inside the 18. Ed Johnson fed him with a beautiful through ball. Quaranta receiving treatment for his wrist. He fell awkwardly when he scored. Yellow card to Cochrane. US 2 Haiti 0.
if it is a finger or wrist then he should be able to play later in the tournament even if they have to get him a soft cast or something
Hopefully Santo's is just a bad sprain. The bright side is we stay ahead and Santo and Convey are both rested for the next game v. El Salv.
Santo has broken pinkie finger according to Willow.TV webcast. Says also English FA and MLS have coaches/scouts on hand...
Diving save by Haitian keeper off Johnson header... Cochran goes near on corner... US pressing for third goal...
