Yep scored all 4 goals, the second was sublime, he made a run into the box. The ball was dinked over, he chested it and smashed it past Hart.
Third was a free kick from 40 yards maybe, again smashed it and went straight to the bottom right.
And his fourth......Jesus :lol
England got 2, and they weren't bad either, one was a cross into the box from young and I think welbeck got on the end and volleyed it in. The second a beautiful free kick from Gerrard into the box and headed in.

- Are u serious?
Yup! I was in the Amsterdam Arena, but it was a frustrating snooze fest.... The highlight of the game was a group of guys that left before the end of the match and yelled, "#@%@$% Jupiler League" really loud. For those that don't know, that is referring to the Dutch 1st division league...
Then I came home and saw the highlights from Sweden-England and my jaw dropped to the ground..... No need to explain..

I'm wondering if Jozy Altidore will get invited to take part in our upcoming hexagonal round of qualifying. Apparently he's been playing out of his mind lately, and he netted a hat trick today for AZ.
Johnson, Gomez and Altidore up front would be deadly.

He most likely will if he keeps it up.

Well Klinsmann has basically shown great dislike for him as I remember, I recall him saying something along the lines of "we're looking for players to fit our system regardless of ability" when there was a tither last time he wasn't selected.

Klinsmann is also a man of second chances, and given the lack talent comparable to the best of the world, and the relative youth that Jozy still has, Altidore is bound to reappear in the line up. If he can consistently perform, his physicality can wreak havoc and the shorter countries.
I mean he gave Spain all kinds of fits in the Confederations Cup.

I agree.
Hope to see a good showing tonight against Canada, boost morale for this home stretch of qualifying.
Alright first half. We're getting muscled around a bit, but I expect the full team to not get that as much. Also, I'm sure the Hispanic nations have more finesse type players compared to the physical nature of the Canadians.
For those tonight who will play in the hex, I see Beckerman, Zusi, Johnson, Wondo, and Davis playing at a high level.

Ronaldinho starting for Brazil. I thought he was a lot older than he is, only 32..

That's what I was thinking as well. I thought he was about the same age as Ryan Giggs.

I like the fact that he hasn't broken into anything faster than walking pace all first half. If he carries on like that, he could play well into his 50's.

Goal USA!!
And Honduras levels. Luck.
Michael Bradley is playing like a frightened 12-year-old girl. "Oh, me shoot? Nahhhh."
Load of bull:censored:. If we don't get out of this group Klinsmann will be looking for working quickly.

Watching the Costa Rica-Panama fixture, it astounds me how good the pitch is there. Yet the freaking Hondurans had a NATIONAL HOLIDAY for the match and their pitch was literally the thickest sod I've ever seen. Atrocious.
Not a big Honduras fan.
Hats off to Costa Rica for drawing level. Their EPL leader, Ruiz, did what he had to do when it counted. This next month is going to sting for all us US fans.
