USA up 2-0 against Panama already.
Pulisic has been brilliant, but he's become so damn obnoxious in just the past year. Falling over more easily than I've seen from any American; Americans have traditionally not been as bad in that regard as Europeans and Latin Americans. Excessive prickish celebrations. Snooty scowl. Got a tattoo now too.

That's the USA sorted then. Panama await for Australia. Or Honduras.

Honduras game against Costa Rica postponed due to the hurricane. How will this impact the final round of games next week?

Honduras game against Costa Rica postponed due to the hurricane. How will this impact the final round of games next week? Simply, Honduras and Costa Rica will have less preparation time. Honduras are lucky to be facing Mexico who have already qualified.

Panama's basic approach appears to be to kick the shit out Pulisic. He looks world class, despite getting hammered half a dozen times. Better midfield player than any English player.

Got a tattoo now too. I didn't see that at all. Panama were targeting him with cheap shots. It's the CONCACAF way. Altidore is the one who falls over too much. He's strong but on the ground all the time.

That's the USA sorted then. Panama await for Australia. Or Honduras. Not yet Joe. USA not qualified yet, they could finish outside the top 4 and not even get a play off. As it stands... Mexico P9 21 Pts Q Costa Rica P8 15 Points. Not mathematically quailed yet. USA P 9 12 Points. Not quailed yet. Panama P9 10 Points. Nothing guaranteed. Honduras P8 9 Points. Could even finish top 3. Top 3 go to Russia. 4th goes into playoff. So all to play for.

Fucking pathetic. They played with no urgency at all.
The last four years of US Soccer have been a cesspool of nepotism, personal agendas, and incompetence. Bye bye Sunil.

Off Twitter @grantwahl 8m8 minutes ago More The United States has been eliminated from World Cup 2018. The most surreal and embarrassing night in US soccer history.

Words can't explain how angry I am. The USSF has mismanaged the sport completely from Klinsmann to Arena to Gulati to fucking everyone. Good young players don't even get called to camp. Old useless players are considered undroppable. The USSF only wants a yes man for coach. Someone who will pick who the USSF wants to play. Klinsmann wasn't a yes man but he was a tactically incompetent arrogant asshole who alienated players. Arena is a yes man who lets Gulati call the shots.
My country is a fucking mess in every way. I'm grateful for the internet record that is Facebook so that decades from now I'll have proof that I wasn't part of the mess.

This is soccer, In Egypt our best team won AFCON 2006,2008,2010 in row and failed to qualify to WC 2006, 2010, 2014 in row in the last game each time when we were the best team in Africa. Now we qualify with a younger less experienced generation and a weaker team. This is soccer, you always need some luck.

This bodes poorly for Stoke as Cameron will come back completely devastated and angry. He takes his international duties very seriously, and I'm sure he couldn't have been worse than the players out there tonight, but he pissed off Arena in some way and was dropped for the last two games.

I think it will be the opposite, he doesn’t have to play with a bunch of wasters and can kick on after a bit of rest now.

Arena what a joke. Rates the MLS players better than anyone. Cameron has been better than Omar Gonzalez his whole career and one poor game from Geoff and he's benched for the rest of the qualifiers. What is he thinking?
I feel so bad for Geoff, likely his last chance at a World Cup and being one of the best members of the squad doesn't even see the field. To boot it was his replacement that royaly fooked up for the US loss tonight.
