USMNT v. Costa Rica Open Thread

Ian already covered all of the basics of tonight's World Cup qualifier between the U.S. and Costa Rica at the Estadio Ricardo Saprissa. Here's how the US Soccer Twitter feed described the scene:



All that's left now is for you to leave your comments! Oh, but don't forget that the game was moved to ESPN2. The World Wide Leader hates you and your DVR machine.

U.S. starting lineup after the jump.

Howard, Wynne, Onyewu, Bocanegra, Beasley, Mastroeni, Bradley, Torres, Dempsey, Donovan, Altidore. Subs: Adu, Bornstein, Clark, Davies, DeMerit, Guzan, Kljestan.

Ching out with a tweaked hamstring.

Davies tries his hardest to get a red here. CR player reacted like Ronaldo after Rooney's stamp.

Goat said...

At least nobody had to live blog this shit show.

Jacob said...

OK, he deserved a red.

Spectator said...

Conan just saved the monologue by bringing out Kareem Abdul Jabbar

Jacob said...

After the ball was away, Davies turned around and kicked the guy square in the package while the CR player was on the ground. Ouch.

not too impressed with andy richter so far.

Jacob said...

Richter's in a bad position. His second night was much better than the first. He'll be fine. If not, he can always pull out the puppy-lined jacket.

Jacob said...

Shot on goal!!!!!!!! ADu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jacob said...

Nice save by Howard to prevent a fourth.

Jacob said...

PK!

The Fan's Attic said...

if conan used all of his good jokes the first two nights, i fear for him because the first two nights were awful.

Goat said...

We're right back in this.

Jacob said...

Bradley(?) taken down in the box on one of the long throws. Second yellow too.

Jacob said...

Landycakes to blow it

Jacob said...

But he doesn't. Two more, fellas!

Jacob said...

An Andy Johnson percentage of Lando's USMNT goals have been from the spot, I think.

Jacob said...

Thank God it's over.

Goat said...

Peace, umlaut and whoever's left.

Jacob said...

Bocanegra looking like he will not swap shirts. Camera cut away after two players offered and he said no.

Jacob said...

Later Goat.

Unknown said...

"see" everyone tomorrow, I'm sure. thanks for keeping tabs, umlaut.

Sarah said...

That was a whole 2 1/2 hours I could have been sleeping. Thanks a lot, USMNT.

Jacob said...

No problem.

I love late night cable commercials. Just got advertising saying I can buy adult flicks to watch with my SO through On Demand.

Jacob said...

Should have saved it for Saturday, Sarah.

Spectator said...

My final two cents... What exactly was Bradley thinking by starting Wynne and Beasley in the back? That was a huge blunder. Where the hell is Spector?
