    I'm assuming you mean in regards to my reasoning behind taking Jamaica..

    If so, it's fairy simple.. Our defense is rubbish, the strikers are worse, Jamaica is athletic enough to crowd the midfield. Jam is playing at a higher level right now than we are and I think the likelihood of Jam winning or drawing is far greater than us winning by 2 or more. Sorry it's sorta brief and really unpolished but that's the best way I can get my reasoning across without writing a puff piece.

    Not sure if you're aware, but both Landon and Dempsey attended weddings across the country today and are taking overnight flights back to DC. Both of their sisters got married today, Landon's in California and Clint's in Texas. Just one more distraction that comes at a bad time (though I applaud both of them for making the weddings).

    Didn't know that but it makes me like the bet even more. Thanks for the nugget.

    Tough luck with Mexico they had been playing so well. Just to clarify because I wasn't able to see the lines prior, but the -280 was to win in regulation correct or just to win period? Thanks

    It was just regulation so all bets lost except the future on them to win the cup

    I turned it off after Dos Santos missed that freebie in the 85th or so. Knew it just wasn't gonna happen.

    I know you have Mexico to win the whole thing already. But do you have any thoughts on the game tonight. Mexico +130 in regulation? -165 to win? Thanks in advance.

    Actually seems to be a pretty good job of pricing, IMO. Part of the reason I took Mexico to win earlier was because I wasn't entirely sure the USA would be in the final, and if that was the case, my line would be a steal.

    Fine with me as a Mexico bettor

    Not fine with me as a USA fan

    He did look good the other night, on offense, the problem is he sometimes forgets you can't form tackle the other players on defense

    ...and Donovan up top. This is either brilliant coaching or some serious over-thinking.

    Our strikers are so mediocre that I've suggested just playing Dempsey at Forward to get the best guys on the field, even if they're slightly out of position, so I guess that's what Bradley is doing (although I'm still surprised that Adu is starting).

    Mexico is really poor at the back, I'm guessing he is just going to pressure their back line on all match. Scary as this is to say, USA is the most potent offense the Mexicans have faced thus far this cup.....

    Yeah, that's really scary, but understandable.

    Well isnt Bob Bradley a genius....

    I love Freddy in the game because he brings something we really lack and that is the ability to beat people with the dribble.

    Yep now he just needs to get the defense to mark someone, fucking terrible 3 on 5 and Mexico still scores.

    And Adu is playing great by the way.

    Brings me back to I think it was 94 and one of the Mexican players just kicked I think it was Lalas right in the balls. They are scum and of course the ref is Latino that wouldnt be biased.
