Here we go then - come on, you Yanks!
Panama is pressing. No bunkering on the road here. Good for them.
Pulisic lines one up but it's blocked out.
Nice free kick chance now for the US.
Pulisic over this one. Well over the bar.
Big shout for a penalty now - VAR check on it.
It is a penalty - what a chance for the US early on!
Christian Ferreira to take this one - I'm surprised that it's not Pulisic.
No - it is Pulisic - not sure what all of those charades.
Scored! US lead 1-0 in this vital one.
2-0! Boom!
Terrific ball in from Robinson and Arreola leaped like a dolphin to nod home. Great goal!
WAY HAY!3-0 U.S
Good evening, Bob. Great to see off walkies with Trooper
Jesus Ferrera with a tap in off a pass from Arriola off a pass from Shaq Moore
Zak Steffen drops a cross then a superb point blank kick save to prevent the goal
3-0! Now the US really have some breathing space. Ferreira with a tap in.
Evening, David - you've joined at a great point. US cruising this one.
Costa Rica won 1-2 in El Salvador so this score really helps
Arreola down after what appeared to be an intentional elbow. VAR says nothing doing.Why?
It feels that way, Bob.Great to see
Canada clinched a place in the WC with a 4-0 thrashing of Jamaica
Ferrera fouls Godoy.Free kick headed out by Ferrera
Mexico drawing 0-0 in Honduras 🇭🇳
It looked from Facebook as if you have a great day out with Trooper today.
As things stand Panama will be eliminated. Good riddance. They were a joke at the last WC
Mexico may well end up third in the table, struggling to fend off Costa Rica.
Yes we had a good couple of hours on the scenic walking trail. Lots of people made a fuss over him.He loved it
Agreed, Bob. Mexico may have to face the Kiwis in the playoffs as they did eight years ago
Incredible that this match is on at the same time as the Oscars
OH! Bicycle kick from Ferrera over asvthe cross from Antonee Robinson was headed on by Arriola
We're about to sit down to a spaghetti dinner.
Looks like third place will be between Mexico and the Ticos
Enjoy the meal.You can feast on the meal like the U.S. is on Panama
A quintet of stoppage time minutes
We've got it on in the background. I can't claim that it's romantic, candlelit dinner fare but Kate is very patient.
Cynical trip on Puli.How was that not a booking
Another penalty!
PENALTY U.S.Godoy booked. About bloody time. Antonee Robinson fouled.Blackburn talks himself into the book.
WAY HAY! Puli with a pair of penalties. U.S. four up
A U.S. win is always romantic
U.S. four up at the half.
MEXICO bring held 0-0 in Honduras at the half.
Lots of halftime changes from both sides as the second half is underway
OH! Gio Reyna should have put the U.S. five up on his first touch of the match. Shot wide with just the keeper to beat
Some shaky U.S. defending. They've got away with faffing about at the back. This match is far from over
I'm back after dinner - the US are 4-0 up and cruising it.
I see that Gio Reyna has come on for the second half - good move from Berhalter.
I can't believe that Mexico making heavy weather with El Salvador - aren't they bottom of the table?
Oh - Pulisic should have finished that one. Isn't his effort squared to Ferreira who had too acute an angle for a finish.
OH! U.S. shot cleared off the line on the break then Shaq Moore brutally fouled by Eric Davis, who is booked for that
Welcome back, Bob. Feasting on dinner like the U.S. on Panama
Cross from Antonee Robinson deflected just over for a corner
Oh - Ferreira with another miss! Great ball through from Gio.
We did indeed, mate - it's our Sunday night habit.
Ferrera misses a sitter. Gio Reyna to De La Torre to Ferrera who blasts over from three yards out
Great Sunday night tradition
Myles Robinson coming off - Long on for him.
Oh - that was lovely on the turn from Pulisic - hat-trick for him and 5-0 US.
WAY HAY! Puli with his first ever U.S. Hat-trick. U.S. five upcand basically through
Nice combo between Antonee Robinson and De La Torre then Puli got a pass them dummied two defenders then placed a shot in the corner
Pulisic picks up a needless yellow card for dissent.
Puli booked for hand ball. About to be subbed. Probably the right thing with the U.S. five up
Pulisic is withdrawn after that yellow.
A deserved standing ovation for Puli as he's replaced by the Pie Eater
Still 0-0 in Honduras. Great news for the U.S.
Edson Alvarez gives Mexico the lead
They must be drawing a huge breath of relief there.
With a last day match at home to Honduras, Mexico will hope to finish second.
I can't really see the US defeating Costa Rica who are in good form and need something.
Sorry, it's El Salvador that Mexico face on Wednesday; they're playing Honduras tonight, as you mentioned.
Long shot from Gio Reyna inches over
Gio Reyna has a go from distance. Just over the top.
As long as the U.S lose by less than six they're in mate. Unless Mexico slips up vs El Salvador the Ticos are in the playoffs
Now I think the U.S. is pretty much qualified
Aaron Long called for a foul and booked.Looked soft but caught in possession
Gudoy with a free kick that goes all the way through past Steffen.
5-1.
BUGGER! Godoy heads in the free kick. Now 5-1
Now Gio Reyna called for a foul
There is still a ten-goal advantage for the US over Costa Rica in terms of goal difference.
Nearly into stoppage time now.
A trio of stoppage time minutes
Thankfully it doesn't change much
Panama just knocking it about now. They're just happy to get one back.
There's the final whistle. The US are almost there. Surely there won't be any disasters in CR on Wednesday night.
It's over and the U.S thrash Panama 5-1
We're going to turn over to the Oscars, mate - nice chatting with you.
Cheerio!
I'm confident we won't lose by half a dozen. Feeling good
Cheers Bob. Great chatting. Enjoy the Oscars
Panama eliminated and after their disgraceful conduct during the match it's good riddance
Mexico has won 0-1 in Honduras
