Whats the attendance? The announcers are saying 72,000.

That, and every foul there are 7 players surrounding the refs.
Venezuela full value for the lead.

Mexico is part of North America

Probably too much to hope for for Jamaica to get a result against Mexico but nice to see El Tri crap their pants tonight.

Mexico is part of Central America (by some definitions) and North America.

US down to 10 and Panama just tied it at 1 thirty minutes in

[Locke]

Are the Panamanians wearing Jaunty Hats and Bespoke suits?

[Locke]

That is totally not water in that bottle US Coach....we do not believe you.

[Beninho]

Weah completely lost the plot with that red. What was he thinking. Big loss puts the Americans in a tough spot with the toughest game left to play

[GirlySports]

LOL at American talking heads saying that Uruguay has nothing to play for against the US.

This is Uruguay! They never let up. They bring it every single time like you're trying to rip their football history away from them. They'll take your legs out or even bite you!

[PeteMoss]

Yeah - almost think the more likely path for the US is Panama not getting a result vs Bolivia and then going through on goal differential.

Is Dave Campbell their manager?

We're gonna kick you in the teeth, and when you punch us back we're gonna smile at you, and when you knock us down we're going to get up, and on the way, we're going to bite a kneecap off. We're going to stand up, and it's going to take two more shots to knock us down.

Uruguay is the country I've always wished we tried to emulate in soccer. Tough as nails and full of heart. Punches way above their weight (yes I realize they have a century of soccer culture and we don't).

[browna]

How long is this anthem?

[GirlySports]

Bombitos really got to be careful.

[browna]

Canadas throw ins are weak so far, giving up possession right away more often than not. That said, somewhat settled into the game so that's good.

[browna]

Osorio looks asleep out there. Not in the game at all, chasing as he's out of position.

[browna]

Chile down to 10

[GirlySports]

Canada's speed against Chile's old legs. That's a 2nd yellow.

[scotty2hotty]

Geez. That was soft. But I’ll take it!

[GirlySports]

Chile must win so they still have to attack. Canada can exploit the open spaces.
