USMNT v. Cuba, 2nd Leg

Sacha Kejestan would have probably been my MOM if he hadn't been subbed out with so much time remaining.
LD played extremely well. He really has turned himself around in the last year or so ... I used to HATE the guy, but he's starting to earn his hype.
Jozy ... he's going to be quite a force to be reckoned with come WC2010 time.
Torres ... looked jittery at first but settled down and played well. His quickness and nibleness were refreshing and he had several nice looking passes.
Dempsey ... great pass to Jozy ... his vision is under rated by a lot of people but if our forwards continue to improve and come of age then I think Demps' vision is going to be a huge part of our offensive scheme as the WC approaches.

It's important to remember that Cuba played a man down for the better part of 50min, but the US still did well. (I'd agree with Don that the first yellow card shown was too harsh)

 

You know... while I shouldn't get my hopes up, Jamaica has their last two group matches at home (vs. Honduras and Canada) and Mexico has their last two group matches on the road (at Canada and Honduras) and with Mexico on 9 points and Jamaica on 4... hey, you never know, right?
