Now they’re delaying the match of the rain ? Remember when we played in a swimming pool in Honduras ?

Seems like there must be lightning in the vicinity.  I have never heard of a game delayed just because of the rain.

For the guys that do all the permutations, what does it mean if Jamaica hold on for the win?  I am also assuming we do the job against Honduras.

We would play Jamaica or one of CR / Panama in the semis

[Floortom]

terrible defense from Jamaica and Morrison commits a penalty...Lozano converts and its 2-2

 

[Floortom]

Assuming we beat Honduras and this Mex-Jam tie hold (and no crazy 10-0 matches...)

A Panama win vs CR or a Pan / CR Draw would mean we would play Panama in the semis and US / Mex would be the other semi

A CR win would mean we would play CR in the semis and US/ Mex would be the other semi

 

[Treppy2]

I missed most of the first half - why are the Mexican fans booing Ochoa?

I’d be pretty surprised if the draw holds. Jamaica need to play to win which will lead to tons of chances.

[Floortom]

Leon Bailey has been horrendous

[trc2014]

For a team that needs to win, not much urgency from Jamaica.  Players laughing after plays, it’s odd.

[Floortom]

Ends 2-2

[dyslexic nam]

Damn I hope we do the job gain at Honduras.  Having one of Mexico or the US eliminated in the SFs would be sweet, as would just having to beat Panama or CR to get to a final.  

Tuesday is a friggin big game.  
 

[Neil R.]

Wow. One of the semi-finals could actually be the United States vs. Mexico.

If the US wins tomorrow and we win on Tuesday, I think the only Costa Rica/Panama result that doesn't create a US/Mexico semi-final is a Panama win where they overcome their goal differential deficit to the US (currently at 4 and would be larger if the US defeats El Salvador).

The path to our first final since 2000 seems as straightforward as it'll ever be. Hopefully the boys are out for blood on Tuesday.

Thought the same but it was clear they were going for the smash and grab late on. Overall it was an incredible performance by Jamaica - arguably as good as our our WCQ away game there.

Mexico is so easy to dislike. The cockiness/smugness just radiates off them. It’s almost laughable when you consider Jamaica had as good, if not better, of a team man for man on the pitch last night. The way they carry themselves you’d think it was Argentina facing Haiti or something.

In marking off all the CMNT games I've been too.....I noticed that we haven't beat Honduras at BMO Field.

Tuesday that shit changes!

That own goal was amazing. 

Made watching that game worthwhile

The Jamaican player (sorry, I didn't recognize him) out and out laughing at Alvarez was hilarious.

They must have been going at it before the goal.

[Shway]

Jamaica looked a lot better than they previously had, which is surprising considering that team hasn't played with each other in a while. 

They have what seems like a core now, and you have to better to get in the squad regardless if you're a Englishman.

More a question of picking Englishman who wanted to be there and will stay window to window rather than being better or worse for me.  

They pick Ravel Morrison who has shown pretty decent commitment to them but (forgive my lack of MLS knowledge) I don't think he has pulled up a lot of trees in DC.  (Seems like he has not played this year?)

Antonio has been injured.  Will be interested to see if he is coming back. 

But again, some talent playing at decent levels available.

Morrison has been exiled by DC. I don't think we know exactly why and Rooney was the one who brought him in so it's weird. I think he still trains with the team though.

It was Brentford's Pinnock.

Not an unfamiliar story.

[Atlantic]

Jamaicas depth is really weird— the likes of Bailey, Pinnock, Blake and Antonio are top notch players (albeit Bailey has been not great internationally) but then their bench is often filled with Jamaican premier league and USL championship players. Feels like if they could get all of their European based players to come over at once they could solidify themselves as a 4/5 in CONCACAF. 

[narduch]

Should be on One Soccer.

[Shway]

Watching that game hoping El Salvador win.
