His contract ended in December and he jumped ship so he could be part of the World Cup coverage in 2018

I cringed that was dumb...

My takeaways Jozy was lazy, Chandler was trash, how the hell does Alvarado start for Club America yet be a worse defender than Brad Evans. Yedlin has now become a target to hack down for being fast, Zardes should probably be a sub.

Dempsey was pretty good though and so was Beckerman.

Playing Honduras in the US should not be a difficult task but we are sure making it look hard. JFC how we managed to win this game (knock on wood) is lost on me

The only way we ever beat Honduras appears to be the ugly way. The 3-1 we enjoyed against them in the '13 SF was easily the most comfortable we've had it in living memory. This wasn't a good performance but we escaped with a win and no injuries. That's pretty much as good as we've ever enjoyed.

While what you said is very true, it really shouldn't be that way. We should be to the point where it's not frustrating to play at home against them. That is one of the worst performances at home by us that I can remember. We had absolutely nothing and got a lucky break against the run of play early on. That might be the hardest opponent we play until we get to Mexico whenever, so I'm glad we got 3 points, but that was painful.

Today's match officials

Costa Rica - Jamaica
R: Fernando GUERRERO (MEX)
AR1: Hermenerito LEAL (GUA)
AR2: Christian RAMIREZ (HON)
4th: Yadel MARTINEZ (CUB)

Guerrero, like Ramos, has worked one full international going into tonight's match (Dominica - UK Virgin Islands). If anyone has a memory back to the CCL last fall, he also worked Sporting KC - Deportivo Saprissa and FAS CD - NYRB. Ramos wasn't great last night so I'm curious to see how another "new" Mexican referee does, but this game should also be much easier so it probably won't be as exciting.

El Salvador - Canada
R: Oscar MONCADA (HON)
AR1: Daniel WILLIAMSON (PAN)
AR2: CJ MORGANTE (USA)
4th: Hector RODRIGUEZ (HON)

Moncada refereed in the Gold Cup in 2009 and then basically fell off the Earth until last year. I guess good for him for being back? For anyone that remembers Sporting KC - Real Esteli in the fall, he was in charge of that. Morgante is the first of the PRO officials to get a game, so congrats CJ

poo poo, I didn't set an over/under this time because none defected last Gold Cup.

And agreed with above: Our games vs. Honduras are always ugly as hell. And Jozy looked even worse than usual, which makes me wonder if something's up with him, but gently caress it, might as well give the Ice Man a runout against Haiti.

Per http://espndeportes.espn.go.com/blogs/index?entryID=2416568&name=John_Sutcliffe being google translated, not only are Cuba down Garcia, but they only have 15 eligible players (GK suspended + 6 others haven't made it to the team yet) and are without their doctor coach. Tough times
