Before this kicks off, let's reiterate that this match is a one-off at the end of the year with a bunch of guys who practiced together for like a day and a half and means precisely dick.

Can I be the first one to say "Fire Williams into the sun"?

Ok.

Fire Williams into the sun.

On a serious note, though, I feel bad for Smolov, injuring himself on his debut after scoring. Sad.

That is a cool way to win your first cap though. Cap, score, peace out!

Well, you see, he's always wanted to take one, but mean ol' Klinsmann never lets him. He saw his chance just then, though, and took it, like a true American.

Huh, so that was pretty awesome by Bradley there. Also, wtf is with Agudelo's hair?

Beyond my abilities, but basically Agudelo knocked it down for Bradley (a la Jozy to Bradley in the WC2010 match vs. Slovenia) to crack from about 25 out; went in off the post.

drat great chance to win

Jermaine Jones striking the ball doesn't seem to be a very good experience for the USA

Can the fact they subbed off 6 starters have anything to do with us suddenly playing better?

Alternatively, all Aguedelo.

Well as overall lovely as some of that was they could have won 2-0 if not for two mind bogglingly stupid mistakes

Of course they probably also could have lost 5-0
