It was quiet in Rio Tinto because Honduras kept breaking up the game, either through design or just sheer bad luck (how injury prone are they???)

Altidore had TWO quality goals, one of them just a smidge offside, but clinical finish. The one that counted was almost a carbon copy finish. Good to see the AZ Alkmaar version of Altidore showing up on the international stage.

After a brief search, it appears that a box of the SLC scarfs was sent up here by mistake so here's what you're getting:

Got mine! "Proof through the Night". Also bought a Centennial kit.

I don't like the sash on those kits. Just doesn't fit.

We tried! I thought for sure we were watching USA v. Italy with all of the falling and crying going on by Honduras, but they didn't even try to score. They were clearly playing for a draw, or loss - as was evident after we had scored.

Plus, the Seattle crowd is a more well-tuned machine.

In SLC you have people like me that only get to see the USMNT play a meaningful game once every four years. Beyond that, I don't get any practice with other USA fans on a regular basis for singing, chants, etc.

Sucks not living in a soccer town.
