That was a gutsy header by Bocanegra.
The U.S played like garbage in the 1st half & came out a different team in the 2nd half.
Good to see El Salvador beat Mexico. Man if ES could make the WC that would be crazy.
I hope ES makes it, even though they'll probably lose
They have a real shot at that #4 spot and the play-in games vs the #5 from SouthAmerica. And If Mexico doesn't get their act together, E.S. could snatch that #3 spot. Lotta games left though, 6 more games, alot can change
On semi-related news, I found out today that ESPNDeportes will also be carrying Venezuela's game this round
Battle for 5th place:
5th. Uruguay - 17 pts (next, @ Venezuela)
6th. Ecuador - 17 pts (next, VS Argentina)
7th. Venezuela - 16 pts (next, VS Uruguay)
8th. Colombia - 14 pts (next, VS Peru)
So if we win tomorrow and Ecuador ties or losses (tough game for them), we'll have sole possession of 5th place
(Venezuela has NEVER made the WC, never coming even close! Before finishing 8th (out of 10) in the 2006 qualifiers, they had finished last place every time, promptly earning the name: Cinderella).
Gut-feeling still tells me we'll fall short, but it's definitely not out of reach
