...fairly handedly right before Olympic qualifiers and the three headed monster of Porter/Hamid/Johnson blew it for us?

We had the talent, I feel like we could have made a nice run for a medal.

We did indeed however hamid is a boss. He actually made a terrific save in that game against Mexico.

But he played like a paraplegic in the loss to Cananda and the El Salvador draw. Johnson looked much better until he let that stoppage time goal go by him.

Hamid wasn't bad until he got hurt in the El Salvador game, and should have been taken out immediately but he was left in injured and let a goal in... then the other guy tried to come in and sucked it up.

Hamid was suppose to come out at the next stoppage. However, US didn't help him out. He was also trying to fight through it, if I recall correctly. Our GKs really sucked in that tournament. Hamid was heavy footed. Terrible on crosses

Hamid played very well up until the injury. I don't place any blame on him at all. Johnson didn't have much to do other than that last second shot.

The referee is to blame for the entire situation though. The game went on way longer than it should have.

I watched the Canada match, and I disagree.

How can you recall anything? I was fricking hammered well before I got to the stadium.
