US MNT Watch: US 2:1 El Salvador

The national team came from behind to beat El Salvador 2-1 last night in Salt Lake City last night. The goal scorers were Clint Dempsey and Jozy Altidore. Charlie Davies had a goal called back on a terrible offside call. Landon Donovan continued his superb national team playing, and Tim Howard looked sharp despite his recent weak Premier League playing. Mexico beat up former group leader Costa Rica 3-0 and Honduras beat Trinidad 4-1. The results leave the US in second place in CONCACAF group behind Honduras on goal differential. Mexico moves into the third and final spot that guarantees a rip to South Africa next year, just ahead of Costa Rica on goal differential.:
