You're in a majority with that view but I'm a bit puzzled as he got to you to your first tournament in 10 years. Granted you were terrible but still.......you were there.
There's simply no explanation. It's a disappointment, that's for sure. And sadly most people don't care at all. And to think this team kept a ckean sheet 4 games in a row.
Great result for Northern Ireland last night in Portugal drawing 1-1.
Not sure this is the relevant place to put this but, the treatment that the England u 21's was nothing short of a disgrace last night. How many more times can a country like Serbia get away with there fans using raciest abuse and violence. I'm sure that UEFA will come down on them like a ton of bricks and fine them £14,000 as usual.
Yeah, look sorry about that. I mean I saw the first 15 minutes then the missus took over the TV cos it wasn't England. Anyway, then I saw on the news that NI were 1 up, I thought wow, that could be good so I switched over and bang. Portugal scored. My fault, completely...

Yeah think the pressure just got to the guys it seems. So it's:
USA
Mexico
Panama
Costa Rica
Jamaica
Honduras
In the final round.
I think it's safe to say that the USA and Mexico will qualify, just a matter of who joins them in the third automatic spot. And of course 4th gets a play-off against the 5th place South American team (correct me if I'm wrong).
Mexico is the only lock. USA is the next closest but definitely not a lock unless they continue to play like they did against Guatemala and not how they did against Antigua. I'm liking Honduras' chances but secretly rooting for Jamaica. Not really a secret anymore.

US was ecstatic with their 0-0 draw in Mexico the other night. The Mexicans have now dropped to 6th in the group.
I guess Costa Rica is appealing their match from last week when they lost 1-0 to the US in an absolute blizzard. As a novice footie observer I I couldn't believe they allowed play to continue in such conditions.
KekeTheKing - Yep, Costa Rica lost the appeal on the basis it was the same for both sides.
I've just YouTubed it and I have to say I cannot believe they played that match to its conclusion. And no orange ball .
I can't imagine Mexico won't make it, there's a long way to go, but 3 draws is a poor start for them. Imagine being in a country who got 3 draws from their first three qualifiers against half-decent sides...
Great result for the United States to take a point off them up at altitude though - I suppose that's why they played the Costa Rica match at Commerce City as preparation!
Some of the guys weren't even wearing sleeves! But I did love the post game snowball fight between fans and players. And when Costa Rica won a free kick and 5 players huddled around the ball shoveling snow off of the spot with their cleats.
