  • It was nervy and ugly and dramatic, but the United States emerged from Azteca with a 0-0 draw. Another gamer from Jeff Carlisle is here. A live-blog of the proceedings from our buddy Graham Parker? Sure, why not? Elsewhere, Martin Rogers has your scoop on the laser pointers. Always with the hard-hitting stories, that one.

  • But that's not all. Grant Wahl scores an excellent quote from Mexico-based Herculez Gomez: "I'm taking an hour flight tomorrow back to Torreón and I'm taking a lot of bragging rights with me. I'm still undefeated against Mexico. I worked my tail off in two games and felt like I contributed. I couldn't be happier and prouder of my teammates. What we showed today is something we can build off for awhile."

  • Elsewhere in CONCACF, Panama shocked Honduras and Costa Rica defeated Jamaica, throwing the Hexagonal into chaos. As it stands, Panama sits on top with five points, followed by Costa Rica, the U.S., and Honduras on four, Mexico with tres, and Jamaica with two, mon. If you're the Americans, you take this after three games.
