USMNT v. Honduras, Game Thread
February 6th, 2013 at 4:08 PM ^
Altidore looking like he's going to get a break away today, nice.
February 6th, 2013 at 4:08 PM ^
Other key news is that the US started Timmy Chandler, meaning he's captied to the US, and Jozy Altidore, meaning he's out of Klinnsman's doghouse.
February 6th, 2013 at 4:10 PM ^
Wow, Dempsey taken down with no call, then the US gives up a 3-1 which Honduras blows with a clumsy offside.
February 6th, 2013 at 4:11 PM ^
FabianJohnson looks like he is unaware that he's on defense today. Wtf?
February 6th, 2013 at 4:12 PM ^
Yikes. Eddie Johnson backpass to Howard from the 6. Scary.
February 6th, 2013 at 4:15 PM ^
how are you guys watching this game?
February 6th, 2013 at 4:17 PM ^
firstrowsports.eu stream
February 6th, 2013 at 4:18 PM ^
I get Bein sports. $8 a month for the package, though I'm sure you could stream it on firstrowsports.eu
February 6th, 2013 at 4:33 PM ^
Do you think it is worth it? How is the stream quality?
February 6th, 2013 at 4:36 PM ^
Significantly better commentary than espn, camerawork is fine, it's a much better option than streaming on firstrowsports. The package also comes with fox soccer plus (Everton is never on Fox Soccer) and Bein also has La Liga so for me it's worth it. If you're a fan of one of the top EPL teams It may not be worth it for the 5 US games they will have.
February 6th, 2013 at 4:43 PM ^
I like the commentary so far. Not a fan of the big EPL teams so it might be worth it. I'll have to check it out.
February 6th, 2013 at 4:21 PM ^
15' in. Cobi Jones advocating a 0-0 draw as the goal.
February 6th, 2013 at 4:22 PM ^
Considering the run of play so far, that would be a glorious result for the US. We look terrible.
February 6th, 2013 at 4:25 PM ^
True. Given that this defensive backline has never played together, a clean sheet would be pretty impressive.
February 6th, 2013 at 4:21 PM ^
For those who can't watch, here's what's happening: Honduras holds possession, puts a few passes together, takes an awful shot or gets cught offsides. Tim Howard kicks it long, Honduras gains possession, repeat.
February 6th, 2013 at 4:24 PM ^
I want us to play it from the back more. It should be easier with Cameron back there. He is pretty good on the ball.
February 6th, 2013 at 4:24 PM ^
What channel is it on? ESPN 2 has Germany-France
edit - nevermind I see some answers above. Quite sad we cannot watch our own qualifier in our own country on a basic cable channel. Sigh.
February 6th, 2013 at 4:24 PM ^
Or illegal stream.
February 6th, 2013 at 4:39 PM ^
is in Honduras, hence the reason it's on Bein instead of ESPN.
February 6th, 2013 at 4:23 PM ^
double post
February 6th, 2013 at 4:24 PM ^
I know it's early, but this is uuugly. Poor communication, very poor passing, Even worse first touches.
Cobb Jones may have the right idea...
February 6th, 2013 at 4:28 PM ^
Yeah, looks like a bunch of guys who haven't played much together on a bad field.
Which is exactly what it is.
February 6th, 2013 at 4:32 PM ^
Dempsey, Altidore, and Bradley have played together for years now. Regardless, lack of familiarity has nothing to do with poor first touches. It has more to do with the field, but these are professional soccer players. You'd like to think they could cope with field conditions. All that said, the Honduras defense looks pretty bad, I think we score at least one today.
February 6th, 2013 at 4:28 PM ^
On a corner
February 6th, 2013 at 4:31 PM ^
Great counter by the US. Altidore flicks it just over.
February 6th, 2013 at 4:32 PM ^
solid look
February 6th, 2013 at 4:33 PM ^
Wow. Thank god for Fabian johnson.
February 6th, 2013 at 4:34 PM ^
How did Honduras not score?
February 6th, 2013 at 4:35 PM ^
Whoa. Howard great save on a viciously dipping shot.
February 6th, 2013 at 4:35 PM ^
Giving up a lot of good looks.
February 6th, 2013 at 4:37 PM ^
Deuuuuuuuce!
February 6th, 2013 at 4:37 PM ^
GOALLLLL Dempsey. Fabulous chip and great finish
February 6th, 2013 at 4:38 PM ^
of a goal.
February 6th, 2013 at 4:39 PM ^
DEUCEEEEEEEEE
DTOM
February 6th, 2013 at 4:41 PM ^
was magical. I ain't even mad.
February 6th, 2013 at 4:42 PM ^
Tie game
February 6th, 2013 at 4:42 PM ^
OK. That was awesome. Honduras with the bike.
February 6th, 2013 at 4:42 PM ^
You can't be mad at that. Just wow.
February 6th, 2013 at 4:43 PM ^
Damn. But that was pretty fucking awesome
February 6th, 2013 at 4:43 PM ^
Holy shit what a kick. Aint even mad
February 6th, 2013 at 4:43 PM ^
wow! both goals were great. Honduras' was greater
February 6th, 2013 at 4:43 PM ^
US playing really terrible defense, but still... dang!
February 6th, 2013 at 4:43 PM ^
I hate that they scored, but that goal was awesome.
February 6th, 2013 at 4:44 PM ^
Timmy Chandler is strugling hard. I'd be shocked if he played past the 60 minute mark
February 6th, 2013 at 4:48 PM ^
Who is on the bench at RB?
February 6th, 2013 at 4:48 PM ^
Chandler is a RB. Bocanegra.
February 6th, 2013 at 4:52 PM ^
Have we ever played Boca on the right? Maybe Brad Evans?
Chandler did look totally gassed. Tough to go from winter in Germany to 90 degrees and humid on a long grass field.
February 6th, 2013 at 4:58 PM ^
He's mostly a center back, and has played left in the past, but honestly I'm of the opinion that unless you are using the RB as a wing-back, you can interchange center backs easily. And in these conditions, no one is going to be stealing up any sidelines, so may as well put the best defenders in the back line.
February 6th, 2013 at 4:46 PM ^
That guy was a defender?
February 6th, 2013 at 4:48 PM ^
There's a ton of space in this game. It looks like games from the 1970s where half the players were pack-a-day smokers.
