The Guatemala Experience

Filed under: Guatemala, Qualifying, US National Team


This is one of the reasons I love USSoccer.com

This is what it’s really like, not only for a Qualification match, but for friendlies and club tournaments every time you head down south.

Definitely worth the 9 minutes of your day.

Los With The Winner

Filed under: Carlos Bocanegra, Guatemala, Qualifying, US National Team

Carlos Bocanegra

Absolutely massive 3 points for the US National Team in Guatemala tonight on the road with the winner coming in the 60th minute from our boy Carlos Bocanegra.

While he won’t get the assist on the goal, Brian Ching’s pick on Los’ defender was the only reason that goal happened.

And well done by the boys for not getting sucked into the tactics of the Guatemalan team.

Next up - Away at Cuba in Havana on September 6th on ESPN2.

Los And The Boys Are Ready For Guatemala

Filed under: Guatemala, Qualifying, US National Team, Videos


Big night tonight for the boys ahead of their World Cup Qualification in Guatemala.

Gonna be hot, humid and an overall tough night as getting a point (s) is extremely important to get the right start.

Los said it right, keep the 0 in the back.

Carlos Bocanegra

Absolute massive win for the United States in Guatemala with our boy Carlos Bocanegra scoring the winner in the 60th minute.

While Brian Ching won’t get credit for the assist, you have to acknowledge what a big time pick that was to clear Los from his defender.

Massive props to the boys for not biting on the Guatemalan tactics.

Next up - Cuba on the road Sept. 6th in Havana on ESPN2
