The United States' Men National soccer team played a World Cup qualifier in Kingston, Jamaica this evening. It was plain ugly from a U.S. perspective. I'm far from a soccer expert, but the U.S. squad appeared tentative early and never really emerged from that shell.
The home team went up 1-0 early in the second half and maintained that lead into the 88th minute. As time dwindled down, the Jamaican fans were getting ready to celebrate their first ever soccer win over the States. Fortunately, for the red, white and blue, sub Brian Ching found the back of the net with just under two minutes in regulation time. Ching knocked a pass from Landon Donovan into the top corner earning the U.S. a valuable point towards qualify for Germany 2006.
It wasn't pretty. It wasn't what most U.S. supporters had hoped for, but it looks good right now.
