Honduras v USA - WCQ 10-Oct-2009

But Micheletti wont apologize for the robbery that will take place on the pitch. Anyone want to bet?

 

I've looked for an online stream of the match and not surprisingly, I cant find any sources saying they will be carrying it. If anyone finds an online stream please post it.

 

I'll be forking out $15 to see it at an Irish Pub in downtown Baltimore. www.fifa.com does usually have a pretty good text commentary of WCQs and I'm assuming www.ussoccer.com will have one as well - I usually look at 2-3 at once to get a better "view" of the game.

 

Since it's closed circuit, the odds of online feeds being available will probably be slim and none.

 

Wahl / Banger

Grant Wahl visit Honduran Acting Pres.. gets mugged.

Not necessarily related.

RE: Wahl / Banger

We're in, baby!!!



Ahem. Sorry. I'm sitting home after having followed the WORST (read: constantly failing) Matchtracker coverage from several sources, and I had to find an outlet.

I hope to hell SOMEONE gets highlights on YouTube. If you'd told me at any time that Conor Freaking Casey was going to be huge in this game, I'd have had a hard, hard time taking you seriously.

 

Re: RE: Wahl / Banger

I hear you Meggrs on every account (matchtracker and Casey). Absolute embarrassment this wasn't televised!! So Freakin' happy that the CR game isn't for all the marbles.

 

RE: Re: RE: Wahl / Banger

I just caught a line on a news story that called the game "the most exciting end-to-end game the US has played in years."

Of COURSE it was!

I'm just thrilled by the result, but bummed not to have actually seen the US pull that off. I do have a theory that the games I don't see are the awesome ones, though, so I will go ahead and give myself credit for helping the team win by not going to the ONE English-language venue in the whole of NorCal to see the game. I sacrifice, they win.

Damn. If this keeps up. I'm gonna have to ban myself from WC games next year....

 

When I saw Casey was starting before the game, I was so confused.

Glad he proved me wrong.

Sounds like the second half was very exciting.

The missed PK was huge.

Here are some links that I am sure will be taken down at some point:

Great hustle by CC for the first goal, not pretty, but if he does not get there...no goal. The feed from Donovan to CC on the second was absolutely perfect and a calm cool finish by CC. Donovan's free kick...priceless. The consistency in Donovan's game, at least on the international stage, has grown immensely. When his game is on, the US is a totally different team.

Hell yeah! Great job!

 

I fully expected us to lose or draw and leave clinching the WC spot to the last minute. Glad to see the guys wrap it up early and kudos to the oft maligned Connor Casey for scoring two goals, and with his feet no less.

Didn't catch the match, sounds like we were very up and down performance wise, but we got the result, are through to SA, and are the only team in CONCACAF to go into Honduras and come out with a win this tourney. :banana:

The irony is now Honduras is dependent upon our backups to beat Costa Rica for them to have a shot at automatic qualification. Given the Ticos' freefall down the stretch, that's quite a turn of events.

 

No chance of us getting a seeding huh?

I dont know - I am holding onto hope...

 

BTW - I was at the Alumni game and when it was finished it was half in the US match. I was able to find 0-0 and we RUSHED back to our old coach's house and were desperately seeking out a matchtracker that would actually work, or even a video feed - and came up with NOTHING.

It was a very frustrating 45 minutes. Finally we found a blog of someone that was watching the match and heard 3-1. Then 3-2.... (oh crap)... Then the missed PK!

What a match to miss!

So happy we are thru - lets win our final match and give us the best chance of getting a seed. Also - lets get as many MLS players playing this winter/spring as possible.

COME ON MLS - Work of finding opportunities for these guys and be willing to let them go!!

 

Were they shutoff or did they crash under the increased traffic? I imagine their hits were at all time highs during the match.

 

It seemed to me they were crashing, but I have yet to find an article or explanation on any of the sites.

 

Huh, so I guess Conor Casey isn't entirely useless after all.
