USMNT v Haiti

It's another catch-call post for the final Gold Gup group match between the USMNT and Haiti. Tonight's line-up card, with a more offensive midfield look...

Robles; Evans, Parkhurst, Conrad (c), Heaps; Quaranta, Holden, Cronin, Clark; Cooper, Arnaud

Bench: Perkins, Pearce, Goodson, Beckerman, Rogers, Davies, Ching

UPDATE: The USMNT rallied near the death to gain a 2-2 draw with Haiti thanks to Stuart Holden's late bomb. Davy Arnaud put the 'Nats up early, but twin strikes just after the break put the underdogs ahead.

Watching Holden and Cronin work in the midfield has been impressive and it makes you wonder why this wasn't the starting tandem from the start? Beckerman and Pause can't hold a candle to these two.

This is my first viewing of Cronin, but so far I love what I see. He's got good vision out to the flanks and makes quick decisions with the ball. I haven't seen much tackling from him yet, but his possession play is definitely a step up from guys like Kljestan, Beckerman, and Pause.

Come on US! The country is FINALLY watching you.

I was at a sports bar in Omaha, NE....and 10 TVs were on the game.

I must say the bar went nuts when Holden scored though.
