Reaction to USMNT vs. Jamaica (Dos a Cero)

United States: 2

Jamaica: 0

Before anything else is said...We won the Hex!  This, by no means, is an easy feat, but, at the end of the day, we did precisely what we needed to do.  I look immediately to our home record: 5-0-0 with 0 goals against.  It has been proven each and every qualifying cycle that the key to success in the Hex is success at home, the foundation upon which the campaign is built.  Yes we did pick up some huge points on the road, including a grueling scoreless draw with Mexico in the vaunted Estadio Azteca, but we also looked totally inferior at times. 

World Cup Qualifiers Squad Selection Special

With a ticket to Brazil 2014 already punched, we can breathe easy ahead of our final two qualifiers.  It appears that FIFA will use their own ranking system to determine the top 8 nations to be seeded in the upcoming 2014 World Cup Draw, and the US would need nothing short of a miracle to be included in those ranks.  From the standpoint of directly impacting our placement in the World Cup, these next two fixtures mean nothing.  Head coach Jurgen Klinsmann's squad selection, however, proves that this will be business as usual for the Von Trapps.  I would like nothing more than to see our beloved team roll into Brazil with a head of steam with two more victories to their credit.  This could also be a great chance for some of our fringe players, namely Aron Johannsson, to get a run with the starting XI.

Introducing America's Top DJ

Like most DJ's, this individual plies his trade in Europe. His sounds vibrate up and down the fjords of Norway.  The man I am referring to, of course, is none other than the legendary Mix Diskerud:

For those of you keeping up with the USMNT you know Mix as the silky central midfielder that contributed in the latest CONCACAF Gold Cup title.  Mix also came in off the bench in the last World Cup Qualifier to provide the assist on the 2nd goal against Mexico that sealed a trip to Brazil in 2014.
