2014 Fifa World Cup Qualifying

Mesut Ozil had a nice hat trick earlier for Germany. Nice to see him scoring goals, it's the one part of the game he needs to work on. A great assist man, he often ends up with good shots on goal for himself. Madrid has struggled to score goals in a couple of their games this year so it'll be a plus to have Ozil as another scoring threat.

The USA is tied with Jamaica at the moment, a team they most definitely should beat.

Tons of games today as well. I saw some of Russia's destruction of Israel earlier. USA will be in a bad spot if they lose a second time to Jamaica. Should be going all out in that one tonight.

A draw tonight and the bad performances are erased. We will have gotten through our two toughest tests in the first three games and will still be in a qualification spot. That being said, I am expecting a disaster, Mexico is the one in the more dangerous situation.

We have certainly been helped by all other games ending in a tie, hope that continues.

Man that is some hopeful thinking.

I'll take a draw. A 3-1 win would be epic.

It's highly possible. Mexico has all the pressure. They are in Mexico. Team USA has won in the Azteca before. And again, Ochoa, is horrid.

Trust me I'm not feeling good about my teams performance tonight. I just honestly believe team USA has all the momentum and is primed to win tonight.

I'm looking for the Netherlands to rebound from a heart breaking loss in the last World Cup final game to take it all in Brazil. Bit of a weaker qualifying division this time, but at 6-0 with 20 goals for and just 2 against, they are well on their way to show the world that they can....finally...for the love of god...win it all!!!

Cool. One of our players stated that the pressure is on them. It's true.

    • I definitely respect your opinion more than Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, and Carmelo Anthony (whom I just watched on their show, all saying NOBODY wants to get the Hornets in the post-season). You win.
    • For all the good feelings about Bryce Young, when you read between the lines, it's what DC says and doesn't say that makes us know that Bryce hasn't necessarily been the supercomputer that they thought he would be. This season, Bryce has to make a tangible progression on the field. "A big part of it is being able to operate at the line of scrimmage — not in the huddle — when we want to, and he’s certainly capable of that," Canales said about Young. "It’s not solely on him. It’s a group that’s pretty young. You have to trust all the guys to go up there, communicate verbally or nonverbally and execute what we’re doing. We’ve made huge strides in that regard. His ability to alter things based on what they’re giving you will give us another edge, which he’s continued to grow and had some great examples down the stretch where he identified things they were doing, got us to the right check and capitalized on some plays. Want to see him do that more when it’s appropriate. We don’t need to be changing things just to change it." The implications, perhaps insinuations, are pretty evident. Bryce is just going to have to do better. "And then for Bryce, it’s the identification of early on the cues that the defense are giving us, to be able to eliminate parts of your progression before the ball’s even snapped. That happens with time. I’ve seen quarterbacks really own and master, which allows them to play lightning fast." Obviously Bryce isn't necessarily picking things up as fast as Canales would like, and I can only assume that Canales is making comparisons to Russell Wilson, Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield. But, of course, not everyone picks things up at the same rate. Bryce's pace has left Canales wanting for more. During the coming season, I don't believe that it will be good enough for Bryce to start putting things together in December, evidence of the light switch being on is going to have to show itself in September. Basically, it's really the moment that we've all been waiting for, the one that we thought should've happened earlier, the one that brings Bryce's accountability in the spotlight. On an off note, perhaps to that end, we should consider the possible implications upon the draft, but that's another story. Basically, it's time for Bryce to sh¡t or get off the pot. https://roundtable.io/sports/nfl/panthers/news/carolina-panthers-dave-canales-holds-nothing-back-on-bryce-young-in-new-interview
    • Wouldn’t mind Tyson. Definitely prefer him to Sadiq.
