It didn't take long. Goalmouth scramble and Sargent bundled in the first US goal in under 60 seconds. 1-0 Nats!
This facility in the Caymans looks like the LHS football field. What is CONCACAF doing here?
They've draped traps over the running track, but it looks like a moat to keep the Cubans from running away
Good Evening, Steve. Thanks for getting us started,
Cuba's national stadium is under construction, so they are playing their home matches at the Cayman Islands.
The set-pieces from the US miss a player that can take a set piece. The ones searing for a player to run on to are being hit at ankle height, and the shots on goal are just as poor. Someone must be better.
Free for the Cubans coming up.
Danny Lovitz commits a foul about an inch outside the corner of the U.S. box
Free kick headed out for a Cuba corner
Corner taken short and a Cuba player is offside
Supposedly, the attendance vs Canada was 420. I would estimate 100 people in attendance for this match
Aha, You mean Havana Jr. High's field has a previous commitment tonight. No other park space going spare while the builders are in?
OH! Guzan forced to save a deflected effort. How is the U.S. struggling against one of the worst sides in the world
100 must be including the 22 on the pitch.
Guzan gets doen sharpish to save McKennie's touch
Then a cross from Jordan Morris goes to McKinnie and out for a corner. Off the corner a blocked shot, then a shot cleared off the line then Arriola shoots about an inch wide. That's more like it
A mad scramble in the Cuban area that wouldn't go amiss in a non-league match and the US come away with nothing.
Also including the coaching staffs, and the ball boys. So about 50 in the bleachers
Hiya, Al-Prez. Welcome aboard. I'd take one of the holding middies and maybe one of the back 4 off to ensure we give these mugs a real pasting.
Now I know why the match Friday was played in Orlando. It's not too lengthy a flight to the Caymans.
Good evening. Steve. I agree. Not need to be cautious against these numpties
Did you say adios to Mo Po?
Attendance can't be being helped with that great honking moat around the pitch. And the wading pools at the ends. Though the Cayman Islanders there may be non-swimmers.
GOAL !! JORDAN MORRIS PUTS THE U.S. TWO UP OFF A LOBBED PASS FROM MCKINNIE. WAS ONE ON ONE WITH THE KEEPER.
Yes, and bom dia hopefully to that insufferable little walking personality disorder Little Joe.
Morris with a cool finish for the USA's second.
Looks like more fans are in attendance , so there may be 100 actual fans
Little Joe the bookies favorite to take over the Spuds. Raffa second favorite.
Aaron was a Long way off with the header from that corner
Any alligators or sharks in that moat?
Probably Caymans in the moat. Not the islanders, the snouty toothy kind you make into belts.
Thanks for the update. That helps.
Danny Lovitz pushes one of the Cubans . They've been trying to injure our players this entire match and he's had enough and the ref finally books one of these thugs
that number 5 is a nasty piece of work. Well worth a ticket.
How was that not a free kick. Josh Seargent tripped just outside the Cuba box with just the keeper to beat. Should have been a free kick and early bath in the moat
Foul on Sargent not given. No salesmanship from him so the free goes begging.
Lovitz now brutally tripped by Carlos Rodriguez. How was that not at least a booking?
And another foul from the Cubans. Referee needs to sack up and stop it.
Header from Roldan off the free kick well tipped over.
Instinctual save from Sandy the keeper. He's the only Cuban that rates a name on his shirt.
Oh, Morris walks in a looper of a cross for the 3rd of the night.
GOAL !!!! CROSS FROM AARON LONG OFF THE CORNER TUCKED AWAY BY JORDAN MORRIS FROM ABOUT A FOOT OUT. THE CROSS TOOK A WICKED DEFLECTION.
U.S. now three up.
Clever of Morris to bring that ball down and recirculate it. Too clever for anyone to see what he had in mind.
Sandy is the only Cuban that can take anything resembling pride from this match. The rest should be too ashamed to even look at themselves in the mirror
It's really Summer like humidity so hopefully these amateurs will wilt in the second half and the U.S. can win by double figures
Do you think Sandy rates a name on his shirt because he's the busiest player they have?
Now a nasty trip by their number 10. Why is the ref letting them get away with bloody murder?
Any of the Cubans play outside of Cuba? Footmob app doesn't care enough about this to post the squad.
A minute of stoppage time.
One plays in the U.S.l. for Reno and one plays in the Dominican Republic. I will check at the half to see if anyone else does
The U.S. three up at the half and will be playing in the Nation's League tournament this Summer
Nice. Play it to Guzan's wrong foot with one of their forwards bearing down on him. What donkey played that ball? Ream?
0-3 to the US. Berhalter likely has calls holding from the managers of Shalke, Bremen, and Newcastle to sub off McKennie, Sargent, and Yedlin before they get crushed by one of these narkey Cubans.
second half underway from Lancer Stadium in Georgetown , Cayman Islands, not D.C.
The Semis for the Nation's League Tournament this Summer are Mexico vs Costa Rica and U.S. vs Honduras
Did we introduce subs at the half?
I did some research and Believe it or not some Cuban National team players play their footie outside Cuba. Four play in the Dominican Republic, one in Guatemala , and in the U.S.L. for Reno. The rest play in the Cuban League
There is also one that plays in the Panamanian League
I don't think there were any changes at the half.
I'm not surprised. I don't think there's any level of play in the DR, or Guatemala above basement. And these mugs are more physical than you'd fancy LHS against, but skill for skill, we'd give them a match. Dave wouldn't be walking afterwards, but we'd score.
Ta. Sargent went missing from the start of the second and I ws wondering.
Agreed, Steve. Not sure if Dave would even want to play these mugs. Don't think Kathy fancies him being on crutches for several weeks.
Sargent was AWOL and will be in solitary confinement for a month!
Boom-boom, Al-Prez.
Cheers, Steve.
I need to leave to go to a tutoring job. It's been great chatting with you and have a great rest of the week. CHEERS!
Fodder thrown on against Cuba for Yedlin. Stevie Bruce made a convincing Plea at the half
Cheerio. Thanks for joining me.
Hiya, guys - sorry I missed out tonight. It looks as if it was a good performance by Greg Berhalter's boys.
