Re: Was I just hearing...USMNT vs Guatemala

We got it done tonight. As long as Dempsey plays well as he has been, then we should do well. Two goals tonight. Great performance. Slightly marred by that silly simulation leading to a yellow. I know he's teammates with one of the greats at diving (Bale), but still, it wasn't needed.
