Guatemala-USA WC Qualifier

It's not the RFK stadium. They probably have enough lights for the players to see but not enough lights for what you are used to in the US for broadcasting games like football or baseball.

Can't Guatemala afford good lighting?

No, they can't. Perhaps you could volunteer some time to help out.

I spent 8 months volunteering in Guatemala in 2005 and go back from time to time to see friends that live there.

And it's a lot easier and cheaper to get there from the US than from here (and about the same distance unless you are in Maine).

I live in Mass so its real far away. Colombia is pretty much in Central America. I'm pulling for Guatemala here in this game. Gotta root for these poor countries, soccer means everything to them.

The USA just got ****ed.......down to 10 men for the last 30 minutes. The defense has been absolutely atrocious tonight.

Wow Eddie Lewis just got head butted and has the Ric Flair crimson mask.......Nasty, nasty, cut, where is the redcard for that tackle?

The US guy just got busted wide open.

USA down to 10 men. Guatemala plays the US team on its own half. Game looks like martial arts instead of soccer. I have just seen a karate kick.

There you go, outcomes the red card! Rodney Harrison would have been proud of that hit!

treece · 08-20-08, 10:40 PM

Guatemala had a perfect opportunity to win this game but blew it by getting a red card themselves.

No wonder Guatemala never makes the World Cup. They have as much brains as a toilet seat.

USA wins 1-0.......big win in Guatemala tonight for the gutty Americans!
