Looked like that last stop tweaked his foot. Crowd giving him a big hand. USA need to keep them from scoring 4 with 15 minutes and injury time to play. Canada losing 1-0 74th minute.

81st - first touch for tico new keeper in a kick clearance, USA keeping possession , not being too risky...lose possession but retain on a foul. Ticos are running through all usa players and ref is keeping cards in his pocket and barely whistling these fouls. They want to CONCACAF us, but the goal differential is too much. Pulisic is going to be really sore after this game. USA swinging it around back oije before playing up to A Robinson on that left side. Whistle USA for nothing.

Crowd cheering OLE, yet they think it matters that they pass it around the back.

86th Tico keeper struggles with the ball at his feet, poor clearance, but they keep possession in their defensive third before losing it to a sliding Morris, and then a late whistle by the ref. Looked like a good call, but he didn't call it like that for Pulisic tackles.

87th - USA win 8t attacking third, de la Torre holds possession. USA can't get anything from it. Ticos try to build up attack, find a solo attacker up right side who gets a shot off that is covered by Steffan.

88th - USA nearly there. 89th- Ticos keep possession in their back only to lose it trying to go forward. USA hold possession in their back. Pass it back and forth. No urgency to get forward, but try up left side to Robinson before swinging it back to back line. Once again to Robinson, cross doesn't find Ferreira, USA's Acosta whistled for a foul. 90th min. Getting close!

4 minutes injury time. USA win a corner. No hurry to take it. Reyna taking it. at the one minutes mark cross is cleared by Ticos for another corner. Again, slow taking, Reyna again, clared by Ticos, USA MAINTAINS. MUSAH tackle can't win it. USA get a free kick in mid third. No run to take. 2 minutes left of injury time. Zimmerman and M Robinson trade passes. Other Robinson loses it up the Feild before USA wins it back. USA properly killing this game not freaking out over given up 2 goals. Calm. Cool. 1 minute till we Qualify. for Qatar.

Should be a three way tie for first on points but it’s not. US finish 3rd place. This is unacceptable. Third place is a failure. I’m happy we’re going to the World Cup. But this team has yet to play to its real potential and a coaching change can help that.
BERHALTER OUT

But this team has yet to play to its real potential and a coaching change can help that. BERHALTER OUT I could care less that we finished third. In the long run , it does not matter. Also, going back to our history when we do well in qualifying, we usually do not do well in the cup and vice versa. If we sneak in, we do well.

I want to finish 1st in the Cups. In qualifying, I just want to qualify. Again, CONCACAF IS NEVER EASY! Well it will be now, since 48 teams will be going in 2030. I hope I am living then.

This last window shows the strength of those we missed like Dest and McKinney. McKinney has been healing up faster than expected so much that he may get to play some of the club seasons final games. That is good for us. Still, I think our midfield struggles to link up with our forwards and our attack is lacking. Set pieces again were not good for us attacking or defending tonight. We should not be giving up goals on corners and free kicks as our size in the past has been our strength. This team has work to do in that department. I am not so keen on Pulisic's delivery and Reyna's wasn't stellar either. Acosta tonight was not good, but was better in other matches.

ESPN sports center gives us 30 seconds of time after showing Taylor Twellmans rant after not qualifying in 2017.
