Ref calls foul on Zimmerman for touching Panamanian diver. This ref is determined to screw us over. retake shows a pin pong chaos in front of usa goal Cleared out before it comes back again and again. Ref is not stopping play. USA gave the ball away from A Robinson and almost paid dearly for it. Oh my!

Goal USA! Pulisic gets taken down, ref allows play to play on, cross by A Robinson, goal to Arriola. The man who we got on from the beginning. So happy for him. Beutiful header, gets sky high, beats his man, heads across goal. 24th min. Probably in game because Reyna is sick.

Musah wins free kick deep in defensive third. USA need to be composed and not give up a goal here and maintain this lead. The longer they keep it the sooner Panama will give up, because if this result stands, they are eliminated. They should have never been in the last World Cup because of that phantom goal.

Shaq Moore wisely goes down after being clipped in the heels to maintain possession in our defensive third. 41st. USA almost turns it over. another mistake by Pulisic. USA turning the ball over too much. Almost leads to a Godoy goal. goes wide low left. USA goal kick. 42nd

These fresh blood players, de la Torre, Arriola, Ferreira, Shaq Moore are the difference makers in this first half. We have been hesitant to use two different lineups. Maybe that stomach bug was a good thing for us. It forced us to start a different line up which means fresh legs. been talking about that all qualifying how our second game in the window has been our weakness.

Panama's 1st corner at 45 minute mark...USA need to keep the score sheet clean, Cleared, usa counter with Robinson leads to a Panama keeper cover up at the top of the box. Nice counter. Pulisic wins foul and tico does not get a card....typical. should have been a yellow. Pulisic getting hacked. Pulisic takes free kick, mid attacking field. ball bounces. Penalty called after USA player brought down. Gadoy yellow card. 5 mins injury time. A Robinson was brought down by an elbow to his face. May not have been a clear penalty. Another yellow for a Panama player for dissent. This could sew it up. Panama continue to argue with referee. Pulisic taking the pk. GOAL! right side. 4-0.

Pulisic wants to get in a fight. Needs to stay out of it. Berhalter should take him out of the game. He may do so at the half. Ferreira whistled for handball before half finally ends. What a half! Whew! Don't I feel a lot better.

2nd half begins. Musah comes off for Acosta giving each a half. Gio Reyna, comes on and gets an open shot from the right, but gets too much over the top over it and it goes wide to the left.
