If they loose a few key players to injury, they might not be able toreplace them as well as the clear favorites can; and normally some injuries happen to every team. Also they lack tournament experience as a national team. Definitely they have great potential to do well in 2014, but some questionmarks remain. | ||

Even without a lot of depth yoi can get far in a tournament just look at NL 2010. Not a lot of depth and an average defense at best yet still managed thr finals. You're right that they need some luck so that their players dont get injured for that to happen. | ||

Hehe, Whilst I understand and agree with your points I can´t help but laugh at our differences! I´d pay extra to not listen to commentators, they just simplify things I already understand and take away focus from the actual excitement the crowd brings! Also to top it all, most of the best free streams comes with russian commentators;) | ||

Johnson; Dempsey (capt.) #USAvCRC Subs: Altidore, Beckerman, Bedoya, Brooks, Cameron, Castillo, Diskerud, Guzan, Jóhannsson, E. Johnson, Parkhurst, Rimando. Clint Dempsey is set to earn his 100th cap for the USA. According to the USSoccer Twitter page, it's a 4-2-3-1 with Dempsey as the center forward and Donovan playing behind him as a #10. | ||

But I don't think it has any implications, NL will still qualify on tuesday 'if' they beat Andorra, and France were heading for the playoffs anyway (which they should be able to 'hand'le  ). | ||

Wow what a save by Costa Rica's keeper. The USA finally decided to play some attacking football and stopped the long balls. Penalty for the USA! Converted by Clint Dempsey! 2-1 Well, Costa Rica dominated the first 25 minutes or so, but the USA finally got over their nerves and finished the period strongly. Costa Rica played some pretty fluid attacking football, fair play to them. | ||

They are actually gonna be in danger of not qualifying if this keeps up. Especially cause we get them at home next game. That'll be crazy. | ||

That'll be crazy. They are playing Honduras at the Azteca too right? That's insane. WOW Dempsey hitting the post. USA look likely to get an an equalizer. Eddie Johnson on for Zusi. I guess Donovan will get pushed out to the wing. Now Jozy Altidore is on for Fabian Johnson. We better score now. Great play by Joel Campbell. Costa Rica obviously want this game more than the USA. 3-1 | ||
