Youth was served--twice--and youth scored twice. 18 year old Ricardo Pepi got two great assista and made no mistake. That was fortunate, because we missed several other decent opportunities in a game the US dominated. Jamaica has just one point, so this was not supposed to be a tough match, but it was scoreless at the half. In the end, the Reggae Boyz could not cope with the speed of our attacking players.
When Canada got a draw in the US, it was considered a surprise. Well, Canada just got a point in Mexico tonight. They have to feel pretty good about their chances, having already drawn their two toughest assignments in the entire qualifying campaign. They sit in third place. The US and Mexico are on top with 8 points each, but it's very early days. There are ten matches to go. US depth should help enormously. We just have to get the home wins, and pick up some points on the road, and we'll be OK.
Let's hope this prediction is not correct:

Let's just play the games and see what happens. I see Arsenal improving over the course of the season and finishing top half, maybe even top six. I don't know enough about Palace. Teams like Brentford will find it hard to keep up the pace. Injuries affect everyone, but the smaller teams are harder hit.
