Better to be in that team than the sorry excuse for US team I watched against Panama. Good for him.

Ha!
I'll admit, I didn't watch or see a single highlight from the game.... But wow, twitter immediately blew up with everyone and I mean everyone destroying this team and the federation. Seems the federation only got rid of Klinsmann and thought that were solve all our problems.

Ha can't, have to watch paint dry, and it's wet outside, so could take a while...

So they overcome the early deficit and end up winning 4-1. Good on them. That Lennon kid had a hat trick I think. After a PK in the first half they scored 3 in like 5 minutes in the 2nd and then that was it. Have to give them credit for stabilizing themselves.
Still not sure I like the team. All about pressure and counter. Which is fine. Haiti was overmatched physically by the US team. That was pretty obvious. Will this style work with these players against Mexico? Didn't work very well against Panama. Didn't seem to care much about keeping the ball really, Even when they were comfortably ahead and in control and could have just killed off the game. Maybe they were working on things in this game.
They have some players for sure. They also have some not so great players. I shudder to think what will happen if our LB has to face a quality winger. I think that could get ugly very fast. That Ebobisse (sp?) dude has limited technical ability. How can you get this far in the YNT system and be that bad on the ball? I never understand how this happens.
Anyway, St. Kits or some other tiny island nation next to get into the next round. The joys of CONCACAF qualifying.
