Ibrahimovic - 93rd minute, scores winning goal in a 2-1 decision over Hungary in the WC qualifier. I think that counts as performing well on the big stage in a game that does matter...

Shoulda been 3-1. Altidore got robbed.
But, then again, referee was from Honduras. Can't allow those pesky Americans to pass you, can we?

Altidore did get a bad break on that disallowed goal. He did so well on that play too. I was a little surprised to see Honduran referees, though they were fair, despite that disallowed goal. They did well to keep the flag down on Dempsey's goal as there were a couple players in an offiside position.
Let's see what happens with the Mexico - Costa Rica match.

Once again, Brazil defeated Argentina easily. We beat them 3-1 last night, in Argentina. Luis "Fabulous" Fabiano scored twice, what a streak he's in!! With that result, Brazil is qualified for the WC next year. Argentina's in trouble.
Great to see the US beat El Salvador last night. Donovan played a good game, but I must say, assists never really did count in soccer. It seems that only the USA actually counts them. Is it because of basketball? I am not dissing, just trying to understand the rationale behind it.
And by the way, we really should take a "Soccer Nation" picture. I arrive on Thursday evening, if you guys are interested! =)

I'm not sure where it came from, but probably from basketball or even hockey. We've been doing it for decades, whatever the reason.
I honestly think that one reason soccer struggles to gain veiwers here in the US is becuase there are so few stats (goals and saves really is all). Without stats it's hard for some people to quantify the players and say who is good or who is bad, or for the media to say - "this player is having a great year as he has -whatever stat-". Look at hockey, they've invented stats like the "+/-" to fill that void.
Next time I will rephrase with something like "Donovan created both goals with a excellent services".

Congrats to Brazil. I'm sure it feels good to be locked in at this point.
We have three games to go, and I bet it's going to go down to the final date. We are at Trinidad and Tobago tomorrow.
Honduras travels to Mexico - big game there.

We can breathe a little easier after last night's results. USA over TNT 1-0. We didn't play well, but got a nice goal from Clark.
El Salvador knocks off reeling Costa Rica 1-0, which helps out our situation. If we could manage a win at Honduras (no easy task, especially with our average performance in the last couple games) then we are in. Barring that a win or tie at home against CRC gets us in.
