The U.S. Men’s National Team closes out the Hexagonal Round of World Cup qualifying tonight with a visit to Panama City to take on a Panama side that desperately needs a win to have any hope of reaching the World Cup (9:30pm, beIN Sport).
Jurgen Klinsmann will be trotting out a starting lineup with plenty of players getting a rare chance to start in qualifying, and the match will serve as another audition for players looking to earn their places on the 2014 USMNT World Cup team.
For Panama, the task is simple. Win and hope for Mexico to lose to Costa Rica and the Canaleros can reach the World Cup Qualifying playoff series vs. New Zealand.
SBI will be providing live commentary on tonight’s match so please feel free to follow the action here. As always, you are welcome to share your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.
Enjoy the action (Tonight’s commentary is after the jump):
I want the USMNT to lose at the expense of Mexico.
I really hate Orozco now!
damn, clear penalty by the Nats but it was not called….and Panama almost scores again
One-goal win by Panama and one-goal loss by Mexico sees Panama qualify for the playoffs on the basis on total goals scored. Is that right?
Yes.
LOL US 1-1 now, Mexico back in with 25 mins to go
Wow. This is crazy. They’re on the verge of elimination!
Orozco bails out Mexico
MLS scores!!!
Goal!!!!!
YES!!!
Big cheer as Raul Jiminez comes in for Mex.
Put in Johannsson and Wondolowski in front. Take out Altidore and Bedoya put in Brad Davis in Midfield and take out Orozco and put in Beasley.
NOOOOOOO!!! leave Castillo in!!!!!!!!
Ruiz out and Saborio in for CR.
Come on Costa Rica!!!!!!!!!! Bury the Mejicanos. Castillo and Orozco LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah right, legends n their own minds LOL They suck
Can BeIN Sport have a worse picture feed? Is it possible?
So, just to confirm. A one goal win for Panama and a one goal loss for Mexico would see Panama through to the playoff? The have the tie breaker after goal differential?
Score doesn’t matter. MEXICO NEED TO LOSE
JK is surely rethinking Castillo on the depth chart. Everything’s coming down his flank, he’s stopping none of it.
You do know the US isn’t trying
You’re right. None of these depth players want to improve their stock, besides, the US gets to take 43 players to the World Cup. Oh, wait.
Castillo is just terrible, as always, no surprise there.
Is Diskerud physically able to shoot the ball or just pass???
Central americraps going to the W.C. = lost revenue for concacaf, hope those monkeys lose!
Wow!! Racist like you = scum! I take insult by scum like you, insulting people like my wife (from Centrel America) and Dely Valdes (married to Uruguayan).
Continue washing dishes.
My gf’s parents are from el salvador, you must be an up tight douche bag, I’ll see you at a galaxy game if you think you’re a tough guy kid…
Whoa!! Easy man….
NOTE : Central americraps going to the W.C. = lost revenue for concacaf, hope those monkeys lose!
How does that get past moderation? block this guy Ives.
Hey US assistant coach next to Klinsi, I can practically see your balls, that sh*ts gross I don’t wanna see that bro.
LOLForever
not sure what magic JK has but we suck way more than 3 subs can fix. Beckerman, Zusi, Sacha are killing us
USNT’s is doing OK, but defense with Castillo or Orozco really sucks.
Damn. Orozco really sucks.
I’ve been saying this for a long….long time.
Come on Costa Rica!!!!!!! Quit taking it easy. Get 2 or 3 more goals and put Mexico to rest. I know you guys have qualified but come on.
Well, my stream just switched to Sons of Anarchy. I’m not sure it’s worth seeking out another one. The dude streaming it must have felt it’s time to watch something else.
S*it has been gettin pretty real with SAMCRO. Tough choice.
hah, i was on that same stream. lame.
It came back in with 10 minutes or so left in the half. The US looked decent during that stretch…a couple half chances they could have done better with.
That looked like an own goal, right? Pretty unlucky of the bar than the back.
Oh nah it was just the spin from the ground and my picture quality .
Didn’t go off a CR player, I think. Off the bar and the ground.
Goal Mexico. Wow. Peralta. Hell of a game here.
I hate Ray Hudson, ewwwwww
f*ck you.
are you his son or something? Geez, take it easy kid.
No, I’m his best friend and co-commentator Phil Schoen. I know him better than anyone. His wife, his kids, anyone. The man is a genius, pure commentating gold and a true professional, so show him some gotd*mn respect you punk.
Haha you’re very professional, troll.
Sometimes you don’t know how you’ll react to a situation until it happens.
I told myself that I would never root against the US and that Mexico making the WC would be good for the Confederation. Now? I’m watching MEX-CRC on Telemundo and hoping our B- team tanks against Panama. Am I a bad fan?
And just like that Mexico scores. Karma.
YYYYES!!!! I love youa Ticos!!! Latin America has won!!!
That goal was all edgar castillo. This will be his last call up.
Goal Costa Rica
GOAL!!!
Wow, hell of a turn by Ruiz! Golazo!
Soccer By Ives: We must be watching different matches because nothing the USA has been doing in this game ‘looks good’! Panama is penetrating our defense like a leaky sieve and everyone out there looks like they’re afraid to get too close to any Panama player with the ball. : (
Score Ticos!!! Ticos score!!!!
wtf is going on
Anyone watching Mexico-CR? The Mexicans were absolutely robbed of a goal with a blatantly bad offsides.
How was it a bad call? Chicharito looked off to me.
No way, not from the camera angle I saw – full step on when the ball was played. Not even close.
OMG, Mexico just had TWO guys round the keeper and they blew it!!! Unbelievable.
And the Telemundo commentators go crazy with the news from Panama.
What’s going on with Guzan and goal (free) kicks?? He keeps kicking them out of play. He did the same for Aston Villa in the last game.
If is awesome the only game I can watch on us tv is Jamaica v Honduras
What channel is the Honduras game on? Since the US game is not on any TV that is generally available in the US, I am am watching Mexico on Telemundo. At least they showed the Honduras highlights so far.
Yes, the two bums are in, Castillo and Orozco!!!!!!!!!!! Let’s go Panama and Costa Rica!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mexico sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its hard rooting to lose put mexico not making it would be sweet. I still want to win
If Mexico goes down a goal or two, I’m rooting for Panama.
I think BBC if Cameron were to start at CB, then there would be no backup CM on the bench.

Any more suggestions on which stream to the gm? Bottom ones not working
It’s too early – streams don’t start until the game starts
Gotcha.. Just figured out gm don’t start until 8:30.. Thought it was at 8ish

Think it’s a decent lineup, it’s too much to ask for Cameron to start at DM.
why not start cameron at rb
Evans does not play RB for Sounders FC and, therefore, every time he plays RB for the US helps get him comfortable at the position. Also the US only has a handful of games before Brazil so every game Evans plays there is huge.
Also Cameron is a known quantity so I’m sure the coach wants to get a look at others at CB.
i think its because orozco played with goodson in the gold cup
Orozco over Cameron a bit of a surprise for me. Kljestan needs to have a solid match to get himself in the conversation and Zusi needs to build off of his sub preformance.
I’m more excited to see the new faces starting than to see the full strength squad. Hopefully we see a few guys step up and take over the game!
