And there's some CONCACAF reffing. Besler's bleeding and there's no card to be found.

Pulisic pulling all the strings. That was a silky smooth pass to Altidore.

Our defense is still scaring me to death.

Get Pulisic out of there. They're blatantly attacking him.

All three of the big dogs up front scored. Can't complain about that. I like that setup, with those three. I've been a big Bobby Wood supporter since his days with Union Berlin. Love seeing him score.

This could easily be 8-0

just finished watching the game, what a sad, pathetic showing by Panama. It'd be a real shame for them to make the World Cup, I'd be absolutely embarrassed as a fellow CONCACAF member to have them representing us.

Altidore's penalty was so cheese it was lovely tho

Lmao, that was one of the worst ones I've seen recently.

Replay showed the dude straight up just elbowed Besler in the face and ref doesn't even give a card. Panama could have gotten at least 2 reds that game.

There was that other one later where that Sounders defender literally just hockey checked Jozy while he was trying to run after another Panama player who had the ball. Ref standing right there and just told Jozy to get up.

Anyway, we really need someone to replace Jones tbh. Every team has an "enforcer" type of player who will go and get physical with opposition players who are heavily fouling the team. Jones used to do that but he's far too crap to play for us these days, so we need someone else to step in and stand up for our attackers who get the crap kicked out of them.

The only person who sort of does that is Jozy, but he's one of the attackers getting the crap kicked out of him.

Also, this game totally let Arena off the hook, which is unfortunate. Our defense is shocking without Brooks and Yedlin, we dominated a self-imploding Panama from start to finish and they still almost scored several times. Yedlin totally bailed us out more than once. If we were playing a real team today we'd have gotten scored on several times.
