I didn't see the game but checking online I see they ended up drawing after giving up a late goal (83'). Now tied at the top of their table with Jamaica with 4 points. Just looked up their remaining schedule for Round 3:

9/7 - USA vs. Jamaica 5:00 ET
9/11 - USA vs. Jamaica 5:00 ET
10/12 - USA vs. Antigua and Barbuda 5:00 ET
10/16 - USA vs. Guatemala 5:00 ET

Two wins would have been better, but these results are fine. The team just needs to take care of business this fall.
My main concern is that the World Cup is 2 years away, and our under-23 team can't qualify for the Olympics. Donovan, Howard: these guys aren't getting any younger.

I literally hate the friggin' Mexicans.

It's like losing to the Rangers times a hundred.

Well there ya go!

Awesome, awesome night for soccer in the US! Scrapped out something maybe they did not deserve based nut scrapped and hustled enough and made their break count big when they got it. Tim Howard was in absolute beast mode tonight. Lots of new faces but it is always comforting having him as the backbone.

Well, thanks to Al-Jazeera buying most of the soccer rights, we weren't subjected to an unbelievable US loss to the friggin' ppot head Jamaicans!

WTF?!?!

Must wins already coming up in the first round?

[Devils Pride 26]

This program constantly fails to build off of their big wins. Beyond frustrating.

I spent quite some time yesterday trying to find the game thinking it can’t be that they are not showing the game. How can the federation sell the rights to someone who is not going to show it on an accessible channel? I guess they are cashing in on the quick buck instead of doing what is best for promoting the sport in this country.

In Germany there would be riots if the federation did that.

So the first Jamica game was a disater, the linup sucked, and the endresult moreso.,,

The vistory on Tues was nice, the 1st the US killed, just could not get the ball in the net...

Hopefully Dempsey is match fit by then, he looked tired on Tues

Tough loss for the US after going up 1-0 against Hondarus on the road. They ended up losing 2-1 to start their 4th round campaign in CONCACAF qualifying. They just need to finish in the top 3 to qualify but a 4th place finish will at least give them a chance at an intercontinental playoff to qualify. Here are their upcoming fixtures.

 

It sucks all the road matches are only on beIN Sport, I don't know anyone who has it. At least the home matches are on ESPN.

The played like sh!t. They need to get their heads out of their a$$es and attack teams that aren't as talented. Also, they need to replace Donovan. Even if he comes back, he's not gonna be able to play the full 90 of every game. Holden getting healthy would be nice, but I'm not holding my breath for that one.

 

Also, rojadirecta dot me usually has a bunch of streams. That's how I watched.

BUMP. Huge one tonight for the boys. Let's beat those friggin' Mexicans (aka NY Rangers on a pitch) at their smoggy home.

COME ON USA !!!!!

Two in a row! Lets go boys! Make it happen

Unbelievable week for American soccer - to win in that crazy snowstorm game and then go to the Azteca and walk away with a point after a scoreless draw. So proud of this team!

[Devils Pride 26]

Huge result. Took Mexico's biggest punch and are still standing and earned a point. Awesome job collectively on defense. Beasley was picked on and looked banged up all game but played hard and stuck with it for most of the night. The two young guys inside performed better than anyone could have thought possible.

[SMantzas]

Very happy with the result and they didn't really give up too many chances, but let's face it, Mexico probably deserved at least one penalty

[eaglejelly]

A boring game to watch. The US never seriously tried to win the game and Mexico seemed to have run out of gas and ideas after the first 15 Minutes. The US played strong defensively but was lucky in the end that Mexico got screwed by the refs.
I smell a coaching change coming for the Mexicans. They are too talented to be struggling in the group as they are.
