Good for Jamaica. They're huge underdogs. That free kick was nice.

Klinsmann    ....   can't wait for PTI tomorrow.    Wilbon will be apoplectic.

Soccer is a funny game. You can dominate and still lose.

Get no points for dominating.   :)

I thought that was one of the better games they played that tournament. Probably the best if you throw out the cuba game. They looked dangerous for most of it. Jamaica caught a couple breaks. One thing that bugs me when I watch them is some of the wings are slow to make the extra pass to the overlapping back. I think zardes has done this more than once. It kills the momentum and upsets the runs of the forwards. Most of our guys don't have the skills to create or take on a defender. Just hit the open man with an easy pass

Watching the game, it appeared to me that the USA has little team speed.    I'm not sure whether it's because we have no team speed or Jamaica was simply quicker to the ball, etc.

Not an expert but think I know what you mean.  I recall one time late in the game when Zardes had it and Fabian Johnson was breaking outside him and he waited to long. By the time pass came ball was at the goal Line.

That's the one that stands out to me and I feel like it happened more than once

All the crap Wilbon and Tony have talked in the past, they punked out today on PTI.     Klinsmann must own stock in Disney.

That's disappointing...they must have been distracted by an opportunity to pile on another RGIII story.
