when it really counts....
it's been a while amigos! but i'm back... just in time for world cup qualifiers for CONMEBOL and CONCACAF.
last friday messi provided a master class against uruguay in my beloved mendoza while the US made every minute count in a lack luster performance against antigua and barbuda.
today, i am not watching the argentina game but we were up 2-0 at half time with another gol by messi and the US is bouncing back from a crappy start with a convincing lead against guatemala.
it's amazing to see a US dominated crowd in the heart of the country (sporting kansas city). that's how our boys should get rooted on every single time they play on american soil... that's how the rest of the world does it.
on a last note, i think i finally forgave deuce for leaving fulham.

clash of the titans: argentina v. brazil at metlife stadium, NJ
in case you live under a rock and missed it each team tied at 34 wins a piece against each other with 24 draws, my albiceleste took on the samba boys in new jersey last saturday june 9th in an EPIC match for the ages.
argentina won 4-3 with a hat trick from king leo,
wacth his 3 and game winning goal here.
LEO SOS EL MAS GRANDE!
unfortunately, my camera batteries crapped out before the game began but here are some cell phone pics and videos from the match:
de guatemala a guatepeor: USA v Guatemala WCQ thoughts
yikes! last night was not a convincing showcase by the #usmnt. i love those guys but we were playing a team whose best players are aging MLS starts. our players play for the best leagues in the world! we had 5 club captains on the field last night many for successful European 1st division sides.
we looked much better in the first half but after the equalizer late in the second half, the last five minutes of the game looked like a game of Foosball with the ball was being whacked all around the field. with so many amazing players we just need to get into the habit of establishing our possession game and not sinking to whatever level the other team brings to the table.
i have to say the ref played a large role in this game as well. he let the Guatemala fouls slide way too much. I agree with Clint Dempsey who said if the ref had put a lid on that hacking to start off with the match would have been different. i totally agree, they were hacking because they didn't have the skill to compete with our guys any other way.
Tim Howard gets the man of the match in my opinion, he had some clutch saves for us and kept some calm in the back.
at any rate, if the rest of qualifying looks like this i'm going to need some tranquilizers and and EMT on standby.
