Dom Dwyer has been an absolute animal over the first half hour.

Should've won a red card on the keeper

I never watch girls soccer but I'm happy to pretend I care when I saw that we beat the yanks for the first time ever!

this girl probably wasn't part of it, but I don't care.

so you guys didn't make it because you randomly lost to a Trinidad team that didn't have anything to play for?

Press reports state that the U.S. side showed a lack of urgency proper to the occasion, or, in the words of one writer, "sleepwalked" through the first half. Four years from now, most of the veterans will be gone. It will be Pulisic's team. He, at least, did his job and scored, but no one else stepped up.

Maybe my son will be good enough to help the US soccer team in about 15 years. I'm hoping my brother that is an MLS referee can help me get him into some good training programs from an early age.

I just watched the three goals. On Alvin Jones' score, there was not an American defender within five yards of him. Nagbe, I think it was, jogged over in his general direction. What, they are now too rich to mark guys on their own half of the field?

Pulisic's goal was nice, although it ricocheted off a defender.
