United States eases past T&T while Mexico beats Canada in WCup Qualifying

So time to weigh in on the U.S. victory of T&T. The Soca Warriors were anything but. In fact they looked down-right scared and in fear. The only time they seemed to los their fear was when they were down 2-0 naturally.
Tough game to gauge where the U.S. is at based on the opponent. It was far too easy .

T&T certainly didn’t have the defend deep and counter tactics down in this one under former Colombia coach Francisco Maturana.
Goals from Michael Bradley, Clint Dempsey and Brian Ching sealed the fate of T&T.
Ricardo Clark of the Dynamo also got a run in midfield in the second half……Nine points in three games is the maximum.
So what is your state of the U.S. national team and which individual players are you most impressed with.

Big day for MEXICO and a bad day for CANADA who are now in World Cup qualifying trouble. Don’t forget that Dwayne DeRosario and others have consistently come down on the Canadien Soccer Federation for their amateur ways.
A 2-1 loss in Mexico puts them in grave danger on a night that Cuauhtemoc Blanco played his final game for the “TRICOLORE’.
Blanco obviously not in the plans of SVEN. Mexican players and fans alike honored Blanco for his national team career.
The future of Mexico is Andres Guardado, Omar Bravo, Gio Do Santos and possibly Nery Castillo………..Of course where in the world is NERY? I get a bad feeling with Castillo and his agent……just do..
