A win is a win is a win...

The field was a disgrace.  My kids play on better looking grass that that.  Awards should be given out for just completing a pass.

Was glad to see Green hustling out there and bagging a goal.  Also glad to see Horvath, grated against not the best competition, look solid in net.  Less happy watching Cuba catch the back 4 flat too many times.  Mexico would have made the US pay for those blunders.  Almost puked when I saw Wondo and Timmy coming-out as subs.  Wondo did score; but, he always scores against the lower level teams and then punts the ball through the uprights when its a big game.

CONCACAF really needs to suspend the ref from that game (they won't).  How Espinosa's head-high, cleats-out, reckless kick at Birnbaum's head was not a straight Red (wasn't even a foul) is beyond me or anyone I have talked to.  Not only thought; but, FIFA's new head injury rules allow for the referee to immediately stop play if the injury is deemed serious unlike most other injuries.  Saw that a few times in both the Euro Cup and COPA over the summer on head collisions in the box.  I guess Birnbaum being scalped on the field does not warrant such.
