We have to win this game, 1 point will not be good enough as I believe Mexico and Costa Rica will win their games, although Costa Rica plays on the road against El Salvador, they aren't a great squad but they could get a point from Costa Rica possibly.
The table looks like
US...... 4.....1.....2......13
Hon.....4.....1.....2......13
Mex.....4.....0.....3......12
C.R.....4.....0.....3......12
T&T....1......2.....4......5
ELS....1......2.....4.......5
I'll get into Goal differential and stuff as we get closer to the end, but as you can see the top 4 are really close together. The top 3 advance to the World Cup automatically while the 4th best team has to play the 5th best team from South America, (which will probably be either Argentina or Columbia).
Anyway, to beat T&T on the road we need to control possession and make sure that Kenwyn Jones doesn't beat us, they also have a fast wing player whose name escapes me. Jozy needs to be tight with the ball in the 75 minutes or so he will play and not have too many turnovers. You have to play Davies and Altidore to have the best chance of winning because they are the most dynamic forwards we have athleticism wise. When we play that combo we are tough to handle for even the best teams. Altidore won't play the whole game because he is still trying to get fit but playing a lot at Hull City will help that.
I'd love to hear your opinions on the game, sorry about the lengthy post and I'm too lazy to read over it so there are probably mistakes in there too.

Having gone to the game at home against trinidad and tobago usa will have no problems. They are horrible. All u have to do is play the wings. [email="T@T"]T@T[/email] dont use the wings. And also put Torres in.
1. USA 16PTS
2. MEX 15PTS
3. HON 13PTS
4. CR 12PTS
5. ES 8PTS
6. T&T 5PTS
USA 1 T&T 0
EL Salvador 1 Costa Rica 0
Mexico 1 Hondruas 0
If USA beats Hondruas then they for sure or in, but with the Costa Rica loss to El Salvador that helps out big time.

we didn't play all that well but we won, Dempsey has got to look more alive out there but he is the only player on the time with real imagination so he has to play every game, when he steps up we are a completely different team. I'm also ready for Jozy to be fit to play whole games.
