Watching the replay of game on espn and what a remarkable shot. Loved how the entire crowd was quiet then all you hear is the ball hit the net and everyone explodes

Honesty didn't know he had that in him. Messi esque shot. Keeper didn't even see it coming.

That was fricking phenomenal. I need a gif of that and the ensuing celebration.

Jones started as a forward before being moved to defensive mid.

I pressed rewind probably 15 times to watch that shot over and over. One of the prettiest goals i have seen all world cup. His touch to get separation was money as well

That was one of the best goals of the tourney. The way the ball bends around the defender and into the side netting gives me chills. The goalie either didn't see it or thought it was going wide. Amazing shot. I also didn't know he had it in him.

I can't be the only one that was like "WTF IS HE DOING" as he lined up the shot.

World-class shot from a guy that we are lucky to have.

I thought about making a check-in thread for everyone that was screaming, "Don't shoot Jones!"

The keeper didn't even move. He just watched it, I guess hoping it would go wide.

He looked like a right-footed Messi there.

Everyone else I was watching was asking wtf when he was looking to shoot, but I was hoping he would have a go. Glad I was right. Jermaine

I'm really glad that Jones is playing so well. He takes way too much unwarranted heat on this board. He's a quality player that we are lucky to have in a US shirt.

Maybe when I'm bored or drunk I'll go bump my old Jones arguments on here.
