Cathal Kelly has taken over from simmons as the biggest joke of a reporter, read it in the paper where he has Australia as the likely playoff opponent when they play in asia no Oceania now. Of course online its different but he sounds like an idiot in the print version. Sure we may not be a great team and prob wont make it to 2014 but that article is just a Canada bash.

No one can unseat Scumbag Steve Simmons as the biggest joke in the Toronto sports media. But Cathal Kelly can give him a run for the money.

Crying over a friendly. Oh Landy.

Crying over a friendly. Oh Landy.

Yeah, BUT if this is THE team that Jurgy is thinking of putting on the pitch for qualifying then I can see the US staying home and watching the WC on the tele. From the highlights I saw the US has no backline to speak of and the youngsters up front are not the finishers that we had in the past. Landy Cakes crying is actually him thinking..'I'm not going to Brazil in '14.' You also have to consider that Costa Rica has qualified for the WC before so this was not a push over national team.
