God dammit. I ask so little of Americans.

Shut up, the Selecção is the bête noire of the Batavians. It's good that they qualify.

Hate is not rational lol

[Duque de Bragança]

I still don't get the hate.

As for the game now: two shots on goal, two goals for the Netherlands. Well, that's something.

Pele being transfered to palliative care.

Not looking so good for Pele. I wish I got a chance to see him in his prime. The first world cup I have a memory of watching was 1974, and he'd retired from Brazil's national team after the 70 World Cup.

I'm not rooting for him to die, or anything, but if he does die, the day of the world cup final would be fitting.

Only if Brazil wins.

Precisely.

Exciting last 15 minutes for this game since the US just scored.

[Gups]

That's over then. Can't leave someone completely unmarked on the far post like that

[Duque de Bragança]

Can't argue with that.

[FunkMonk]

US defending has been horrible. Shocking stuff.

[FunkMonk]

US have had a few decent chances but really they just don't have anyone who can consistently finish. In the recent past that was Donovan and Dempsey. No one now.

[Valmy]

Well at least we achieved our ultimate goal of doing better than Mexico.

[Admiral Yi]

Oh well.

[Josephus]

So that's CONCACAF over and done with. Telling that Canada topped the qualifying group.
