Belgium will be great to watch. Some really brilliant players on that team, and worth a sneaky bet for the next World Cup

Good on Banner and the Browns brass to bring some action to the stadium. Could be a great draw for soccer fans across the region.

I am more than likely going, but I'm not too crazy about the state of the USMNT come this time. Reports of a team mutiny are out there per espn et al. Huge two games this next week. Need at least three points out of these two games, I'd say 4, less than three and the mutiny will be in full force.

No doubt. These games are scheduled as tune ups for WC, etc. May be moot and maybe a joke by time that match is scheduled to be played. Hoping either way a guy like Hazard will still play.

Becoming a Chelsea fan simply because of him and David Luiz.

I'll end up going as well with the youngest but I won't be happy about it if the US team is completely gutted.

Is it even guaranteed the US qualifies for the WC?

Not at all. In fact, it looks more unlikely every day with all the chaos surrounding the squad.

[Squints]

Just when they look like they are about to self-destruct, they (again) pull a rabbit out of a hat. Two games, 4 ponts, exactly what they needed, up to third from last and sitting pretty if they can take care of their own business.

Beat Costa Rica in a blizzard in a game where any bad bounce could of doomed them. Defense stellar, GK outstanding yesterday in a hostile environment against their arch rival. A very Gordon Gee-ish win in getting that much needed point.

Always thought of USA/Mexico in a Kent/Akron kind of way. Passionate to those involved, hostile in every way, but the rest of the world just does not care.

This friendly at CBS in May just got more interesting.

USA v. Mexico at Crew stadium September 10 . will be huge, US could not have picked a better venue for such an important game.

[peeker643]

Agree on all counts. Excellent venue for USA-Mexico in Columbus and excellent point earned last night. Gomez was excellent all night and Guzan came up huge in final minutes. I didn't see final numbers but Mexico had to have out-cornered US nearly 20-2 or 20-3? It was ridiculous. They must have had four in final 3 minutes alone.

Nice to see USA Soccer wising-up, caring more about a home field advantage than a gate receipt and stop putting this game at the Rose Bowl or NYC. Smack dab in the heart of it all.

Little Round Top defense. They kept coming and coming especially late and the US turned back every single effort. Guzan getting pelted with shots is nothing new to him, having stellar defense is.

Good point. Maybe that's why the grabbed the AV Keeper when Howard went down. Knew he was used to scrambling like crazy and having lasers hit at him all match long.

Speaking of lasers, they should consider nuking Azteca next full house and wiping some debris off the map. Sizeable portion of that crowd was animalistic...

Reading horror stories all day.
