Ja og der skal jeg nok være på. Ærgerligt med nederlag til Costa Rica. Hvorfor vælger man at kampen skal spilles i Colorado, når det ikke havde været et problem at finde et sted i USA, hvor vejret bare ville have været nogenlunde.

Panama snatches 1-1 draw at Jamaica

http://www.youtube.com/w…KQXJ7y-1i5A

KINGSTON, Jamaica - Luis Henriquez scored midway through the second half to give visiting Panama a 1 -1 draw with Jamaica on Friday in a CONCACAF World Cup qualifier at the National Stadium.

Marvin Elliott headed the host into a 22nd minute lead, precisely placing Demar Phillips´ right-sided corner kick inside the far post. It was the 28-year-old´s first-ever goal for the Reggae Boyz.

Three minutes prior to the break, a lunging Blas Perez nearly leveled the score, but could not connect on a low cross from Leonel Parris.

In the 66th minute, Henriquez provided the heroics for the Canaleros. His shot from distance, which appeared to take a deflection, bounced past a diving Donovan Ricketts and found the back of the net.

Garath McCleary almost grabbed a late winner, however, his shot from 18-yards out drifted just beyond the left post.

Panama is now unbeaten in seven of its last eight meetings against Jamaica in all competitions.

Both sides have two points from their opening two Hexagonal games and sit two points behind first-place Honduras.

On Tuesday, Panama will welcome Honduras to the Estadio Rommel Fernandez, while Jamaica travels to Costa Rica for matchday three action.


Dempsey leads U.S. over Costa Rica in snow

http://www.youtube.com/w…sWlXwrSlUko

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. -- The United States overcame the elements, Costa Rica and the possibility of postponing the game to register a 1-0 World Cup qualifying victory on Friday.

Clint Dempsey´s first-half goal proved to be the difference as the Americans recorded their first win in the CONCACAF hexagonal during a spring snowstorm.

The U.S. (1-0-1, three points) moved into second place behind leader Honduras (1-1-0, four), which tied Mexico, 2-2, earlier in the day. The Costa Ricans (one point) suffered their first loss and fell to 0-1-1.

The Americans will play at Mexico in Mexico City on Tuesday, while Costa Rica hosts Jamaica the same day.

The snow was so bad that a yellow soccer ball was needed. As many as six inches of snow was supposed to fall on the Denver area by Saturday morning. The Dick´s Sporting Goods field was shoveled and cleared several times during the match, as the grounds crew tried to make sure the game officials and players could see the sidelines, end lines, penalty areas and halfway line.

The snow never let up. In fact, it got worse as the game progressed and appeared to pose visibility programs on the pitch.

The game was stopped in the 55th minute, when the match commissioner reportedly conversed with referee Joel Aguilar of El Salvador about the possibility of stopping play. After talking to players from both sides, Aguilar resumed the action once the lines were made clear again.

In the early going, there were hardly any serious chances for both teams as they tried to keep their footing and tried to test out the field.

Dempsey, given the captain´s armband for the game, tried a shot from distance in the 16th minute that sailed wide left. Only seconds later, Dempsey was celebrating his 32nd international goal.

Forward Jozy Altidore, on the top left of the penalty area, found an unmarked Dempsey, who slotted the ball past goalkeeper Keilor Navas from close range. Dempsey´s 12th World Cup qualifying goal tied Landon Donovan on the U.S.´s all-time list. The goal also meant that the U.S. has scored in 27 consecutive World Cup qualifying matches.

The Costa Ricans experienced some problems controlling the ball. Cristian Bolanos waited for a left-wing cross in the middle of the penalty area, but the ball kicked up at the last minute and goalkeeper Brad Guzan gathered it in.

The visitors finally got an attempt on goal in the 38th minute as Brian Oviedo fired a shot from the left side that Guzan had no problem catching.

The Ticos were fortunate not to have been called for a penalty kick in the 42nd minute. Navas came off his line and slipped in the snow. Dempsey was taken down by central defender Roy Miller in the area, but no foul was called.

Miller, however, was awarded his second yellow card of the hexagonal for fouling a U.S. player in the 49th minute, meaning he will miss the Jamaica encounter.

The Central Americans pushed for the equalizer early in the second half. Bryan Ruiz´s free kick was deflected wide by the defense. Costa Rica had two consecutive corner kicks, the second one that Guzan allowed to sail through the box, but the visitors could not convert.

Second-half substitute Joel Campbell thought he had equalized on a header in the 70th minute, but his goal was called offside by an assistant referee.



Honduras rallies to draw Mexico in WCQ

SAN PEDRO SULA, Honduras - Honduras scored twice during a five-minute stretch late in the second half to rally for a 2-2 draw with Mexico on Friday in a final round CONCACAF World Cup qualifier at the Estadio Olimpico Metropolitano.

The result extended Honduras´ unbeaten streak in qualifying to seven games, while Mexico has now tied its opening two Hexagonal games after going a perfect 6-0-0 in the previous round.

In a fast-paced encounter, Javier Hernandez gave the visitors a 28th minute lead, heading a left-sided delivery from Andres Guardado past Honduran goalkeeper Noel Valladares.

The hosts responded with some medium to long distance shots that failed to trouble the Mexican defense, which was looked comfortable throughout the opening half.

Nine minutes after the break, Hernandez would strike again. A free kick from the left by Carlos Salcido found the quick-reacting Manchester United forward, who reached out to direct the ball into the back of the net. It was Hernandez´s 30th career goal for Mexico and his fifth of this qualifying campaign.

Hernandez, with an apparent injury, was replaced by Omar Bravo in the 64th minute. From that point on, the game would undergo a dramatic change.

Carlo Costly sliced the deficit in half for the Catrachos, heading a 77th minute corner kick into the back of the net.

With the home crowd roaring its support, it was given reason cheer even louder, when Honduras was awarded a penalty kick after Costly was taken down in the box. Jerry Bengtson´s initial attempt was saved by Guillermo Ochoa, but the New England Revolution forward knocked in the rebound to level the score at 2-2 with ten minutes left on the clock.

The result leaves Honduras on top of the standings with four points, while Mexico is second with two.

Those positions could change after Panama-Jamaica and USA-Costa Rica meet later this evening.

The Hexagonal´s table toppers return to qualifying play on Tuesday, as Mexico hosts the U.S. and Honduras travels to Panama.

Det giver heller ingen mening at kampen blev spillet færdig. Der var jo ikke meget fodbold over det.

AaB mod Nordsjælland blev stoppet for meget mindre.
