USA trying to blow a 3-1 lead.
wtf. craziness. how is that a penalty? am i crazy? keep is within his rights to protect himself no?
wwtf is going on
1-1 in the 65th.
Bumbling refereeing. Perry Acosta given a second yellow (i don’t know why), except the ref didn’t realize he had already given him a first yellow. Only after ES players told him, did he produce the red.
Nail in the coffin.
silly red card. Why do that?
THE FAT LADY WILL SING
Hahahaha I suppose the fat lady will sing soon huh?
The USSOCCER match tracker is amusing. You can float over the name of a dude on the roster and get some facts. Of course, it seems to indicate that Matt Dunn (whose club is FC Koln, ironically) is 5’9″ and his weight is 60.
Se acabo! Goal US!
US scores again. Pelosi on an assist from Guido.
WOW 3-1!!!!!
#16 looks dead ha.
It hurts my head to think about that.
Just imagine if El Salvador was winning the game.
It’s weird… El Salvador’s soccer team closely mirrors the Mexican military, flopping about and falling all over themselves.
Oliver has not finished well at all, but man that kid’s stamina and speed are impressive.
I want to hear Arlo White call a game after smoking a little, that would be amazing
15 more minutes i think.
104th minute right now…so 16 minutes plus added time.
What campus? The corporate reach is far.
just got off!!!! work how much extra time left?
These guys are better than the Milk Cup commentators from the summer. But just like that tournament, I’m grateful the games are viewable and someone is telling me the names of the players touching the ball.
I love a good moment of irony.
GOOLLLLL
Whites comment was hilarious. While it cannot be said that these guys are good commentators I could listen to them all day for the entertainment value.
PELOSI SHAKES OFF STINGING LOSS OF THE DEMOCRATICALLY CONTROLLED HOUSE, TO SET UP THE EXTRA TIME LEADING GOAL!!!
hahaha classic comment by the announcer for the US Salvador game. “Are the Whites gonna win today?… And when I say whites I mean the US jerseys…”
haha the announcer. “are the whites going to win today?”…then goes on to explain he means the shirts. bwahaha.
Please tell me the US scored while the El Sal player was standing at midfield waiting to come back on. Serves them right for all their simulating. Now hold on boys!
Wow am I good luck. Notice from here that the US game is still on turn it on and they score.
Smart play by Pelosi — good cross easy goal.

Unselfish…good run….good goal.
Goooooooaaaaalllll! USA. Mario Rodriguez
GOAL USA!
GOAL USA!!!!!
It makes complete sense doesnt it? ha
Stretchered off when he was 2 yards from the endline, and then as soon as they had carried him out of bounds he was sprinting back to the midline to be allowed back into the game.
player*
LOL ES playing down again.
This is a crucial game, this kids need to get it together, fcs its el salvador!!!
I did learn alot about left and right footed players, well done anouncers.
These announcers are really funny also. Making baseless predictions and not seeming to understand some basic rules.
US game going to extra time.
faking like little bitches just like the other central american countries. This is why this country is a joke.
On a positive note Koroma is a stud.
Ammon’s been pretty impressive in the USA defense.
Hardly a play goes by now that does not end in an El Salvadorian lying on the ground writhing in pain.
And ES youth acting like their ES senior team….
