Eddie Johnson is a grown-ass man!

91 degree heat in Port of Spain, but the US prevails 2-1. The Nats were completely dominant for the first 75 minutes, aside from a huge save by Keller on a T&T breakaway to preserve the 2-0 lead. The team started to wear down a bit near the end, and a fluky own goal by Keller (ball was sent on the ground across the goal mouth, Keller tried to poke it away with his hand, but it went backwards and into the net) made for a pretty dramatic final few minutes, but all in all, a great performance and a very nice 3 points to take into Azteca on March 27th.

US goals were by Eddie Johnson (6th goal in his 4th World Cup Qualifying appearance) with huge elevation and a sweet header off a great Cherundolo cross and Eddie Lewis with a long volley after a nice pass by Donovan.

CR is typically the solid #3 in the region, with Jamaica being right up there with them, but this is supposedly a down cycle for the Ticos, so they may be a bit more vulnerable this time around. I still think they make it, but it may be tougher than normal for them.

Oh, and the Drew Carey reference explained:

Quote:

THIS COMEDIAN'S SERIOUS
Drew Carey flies into T&T to support U.S. team
Feb. 9, 2005

Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago -- The U.S. National Team has a celebrity fan.

Comedian Drew Carey flew into this Caribbean city on Tuesday, to give the U.S. National Team his support for yesterday's World Cup qualifier vs. Trinidad & Tobago.

He reportedly told one U.S. soccer official, "I want to be your Jack Nicholson."

Nicholson, of course, is known for being a big time fan of the L.A. Lakers.

Carey, who sat in the box of U.S. Soccer president Bob Contiguglia at the Queen's Park Oval cricket ground, spent a couple of hours with coach Bruce Arena and Contiguglia at a bar at the team hotel, the Trinidad Hilton, telling jokes on Tuesday night.

-- Michael Lewis

They showed a shot of him on ESPN2 during a two or three-minute break late in the first half caused by a T&T injury.

He's also a Galaxy season ticket holder, but I won't hold that against him.

Because it makes you cool to say negative things about a sport you've never watched.
