ok..so yall come back to earth now..

As long as Marriappa and Nosworthy stand up in defense, I don't see Guatemala being much of a goal scoring threat even in their hostile stadium.

everyone here does want them to get to the Hex, but the reality is we lack creativity on the field and from the coach....

Where is CB when we need him !!

Marriappa and Nosworthy - for the majority of the game they were good!

cricket pitch, rubgy pitch, pig sty, mud pit ....coulda the deepest part of the ocean ... is friggin Antigua. I guess eveyone gonna wear red, white and blue later.

And yet this Antiguan team is not the same of years past. They are a professional team with most players from Antiguan
club Antigua Barracuda FC making up the World Cup squad alone with several overseas English professional players.

Do you really want to constantly believe that we are the Rabbit and they are the Tortoise.

...on paper our players should be far superior. Our players (most of our players...) seem to be coming out of superior leagues! ...but by today's performance you would not think so!!!

Stop the foolishness and stop giving them more credit than they dese

The game I saw had both squads on the same playing surface!

It is nonsense to speak about hard game if your quality is far superior to that of the opponent.

The USA played poorly against this same team and won 3 -1. I would wager a guess the USA will not play so poorly against them in Antigua.

Did the USA play them in Antigua? You gentlemen need to calm down. Antigua did not get to this point by being pushovers I would agree that we did not play a good game but we played below par away from home and left with a point. Chances the USA saying the same thing about their game in Guatemala. Four games to go ites, four more.

[Zeppo]

we need a coach, that has a PLAN A, and PLAN B.

and a coaching license...

No amount of 'rationalizing' makes this Antiguan team better than a 2nd form outfit!

Only if you had a keen eye. Ah well. CONCACAF is getting better that's all I can say. This will be good for the top three teams.

And the USA with their high profile coach with license and all is running away with the group aren't they.... Wait, they have the same points as Jamaica.

All I am hoping for is that the people with the power to make the changes some are asking for is not as "jumpy" as some of you ites.

They are definitely better than that given that quite a few of their players are professionals in England and even Byers is a man who gave defenses lots of probelms in the A-league. With that said, yes we should still beat them.
