KINGSTON, Jamaica -- Rodolph Austin and Luton Shelton scored from free kicks as Jamaica beat the United States 2-1 on Friday in a World Cup qualifier, giving the Reggae Boyz their first win over the Americans.
Clint Dempsey, playing his first competitive match in three months, put the U.S. ahead after just 35 seconds; the fastest American goal in a World Cup qualifier. But Jamaica, who had not won in 18 previous games against the U.S., scored in the 23rd and 62nd minutes.
Jamaica leads Group A with seven points, followed by the U.S. on four, with both having played three games. Guatemala, which has one point from its only game, was at home later Friday against Antigua and Barbuda, which has one point from two games.
The U.S. and Jamaica meet again on Tuesday at Columbus, Ohio. The top two teams from the group advance to next year's six-nation regional finals, which will produce three qualifiers for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Missing injured Landon Donovan (hamstring) and Michael Bradley (thigh), the U.S. was dominated in midfield and now has a record of four draws and a loss from five games at The Office, as Independance Park is known.
The U.S. went ahead when Maurice Edu played a through pass to Herculez Gomez, whose initial shot and follow-up both were stopped by goalkeeper Dwayne Miller. The second shot rebounded to Dempsey, who scored from about 10 yards for his 28th international goal. He has scored in all three U.S. qualifiers this year.
Dempsey's previous match was a World Cup qualifier at Guatemala on June 12. Dempsey had held the record for fastest U.S. goal in a qualifier when he scored 53 seconds in against Barbados in 2008.
Dempsey moved from Fulham to Tottenham on Aug. 31 just before the transfer deadline closed and had missed the start of the English Premier League season while his club status was sorted out.
Jamaica increasingly dominated the midfield, and the Reggae Boyz equalized after a late tackle by Kyle Beckerman on Austin gave Jamaica a free kick about 28 yards out. Austin took the kick and his shot deflected off Beckerman's right foot on the defensive wall and past Howard.
Beckerman was replaced in the 58th minute by Danny Williams, who made his first competitive appearance for the U.S. Williams also had been eligible to play for Germany.
Dempsey nearly scored in the 44th minute. Michael Parkhurst crossed and Dempsey's sliding shot was stopped by Miller's sprawling save.
Jamaica took the lead after Austin was fouled by Edu. Shelton's free kick from about 25 yards went in just inside the post as Howard dived to his right. It extended Shelton's Jamaican tally to 34 international goals.
Right back Steve Cherundolo was left out because of a strained right calf, further depleting a the U.S. lineup. Captain Carlos Bocanegra, who transferred last week from fourth-tier Glasgow Rangers to Spanish second-tier club Racing Santander, was benched. http://www.cbssports.com/general/st...in-over-us-mens-soccer-in-world-cup-qualifier
The US will not qualify for 2014 WC, watch. No holding midfield, defense shabby, no forwards with any consistently good play. Tim Howard IS US soccer right now. The Win in Mex was a fluke. US played like shit that game.
I've been a fan since the 80's. The current state fucking hurts, man! I'm getting old! I wanna see us at least be respectable in games and tournaments that matter before I die. Worse yet, I live on the border next to Mexico!!! I gotta see these motherfuckers enjoying all their recent success.
What do u brothers think US needs to do?

STICK TO FOOTBALL AND BASKETBALL
Start caring.What do u brothers think US needs to do?
Honestly, nobody gives a fuck about soccer here. Not to any serious extent. We put our daughters in it and they dominate globally. We put our sons in it only until they're old enough to play "real sports".
Exactly...as I heard someone once say about soccer in the USA,''it's the sport of the future and always will be''
damn right
I wish Klinsman would bring back Freddy Adu to the midfield. I knows his career has been fucked, but he's the last player I remember seeing bringing some possession and creativity to the US. Would complement Bradley's play when he returns.
This scoring one goal, then collapsing into a defensive shell shit ain't working. Absolutely no possession! I can't believe Beckerman is still on the fucking team!!!

Wrong, the numerous American players that ply their trade all over the world do care....because its not one of the top two sports does not mean that the millions of fans that watch and the thousands of players don't care.
Keep fooling yourself bro. Attitudes of denial like yours is why the US does and always will suck at "soccer". We dont even allow that trash to have its rightful name in the states.
The general sports viewing american does not give a shit about soccer. And our most talented male athletes simply do not play this sport past age 6 or so.
If it was truly a major sport here,it would be on a major network,in prime time.
It ranks far behind baseball,football,basketball,golf,auto-racing,MMA,WWE and hockey...
The good news is,it probably beats the WNBA in ratings
There is a team here,the Revolution....
I always find it funny when they announce a 'sell-out'...with 3/4 of the stadium being draped off
.this is like Bethune Cookman beating Kentucky in college basketball
Please......more like bethune cookman beating hampton
real sports? you probably couldn't last 10 minutes on a football (soccer) field.

Watch on tuesday.

What do u brothers think US needs to do?
1) We'll qualify for the WC 2014. Everyone's pulling the trigger early on us, (which us something we're used to now) but we have too much quality to not qualify as the 1 or 2 in CONCACAF. We will be alright coming out of this region.
With that said...
2) Last night was an complete embarrassment. There's no reason we should lose to Jamaica, be it a bumpy pitch, hostile environment, etc, but our football last night was sloppy, possession-less, flat, and overall ugly.
Overall however, our football is better in this country, and that's not coming from an arrogant point of view, that's just pure fact. There's a reason why Jamaican's are partying like they've never beat us before... cause they haven't.
3) With a full firing squad, the only team to fear in this region is Mexico, and even then, on a good day, we can have their number as well.
In the end, sure, we played a bad match. Not going to say otherwise. But who doesn't every now and then?
Our U-23's failed to reach the Olympics cause the homey Sean Johnson made a crucial error against El Salvador, and the rest was history, but that by no means US Soccer is in jeopardy.
Everyone always forgets, especially on the first day/opening days that this shit is a marathon, not a sprint.
Believe me, we'll be fine.
Cool....I'll take your word for it.
The Jamaicans have more technology than the Americans do? What do steroids have to do with free kicks?

Quit whining
Chill out girl.
Lol quit whining. Give Jamaica their due. They beat the US.
People need to just give Jamaica their due. Although they don't have the same talent, they beat the US fair and square.
People even make a big deal when they get beat by a stronger squad.
Americans were on the same shit when Ghana went in that ass in South Africa.
Gyan went down field, and muscled through two defenders to score the game winning goal--> Cats acted like the US was cheated out of a win. Ghana was just better; plan and simple.
Team USA is a work in progress.

To those that think soccer is a 'non-sport', I encourage you to travel further than your home state and see that there is a world out there that adores it.
Read this and let it sink in:
http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/archive/southafrica2010/organisation/media/newsid=1473143/index.html
The 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ was shown in every single country and territory on Earth, including Antarctica and the Arctic Circle, generating record-breaking viewing figures in many TV markets around the world. The in-home television coverage of the competition reached over 3.2 billion people around the world, or 46.4 per cent of the global population, based on viewers watching a minimum of over one minute of coverage. This represents an eight per cent rise on the number of viewers recorded during the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™.

Your women dominate because they are the only ones who take the sport seriously. Your sons would not do anything. The only sport at which the US dominates the world is basketball, and even then, not by much, anymore
4% of the world is right, and 96% is wrong.

Nobody outside the US care about all of this. They are moving on an enjoying the number 1 sport in the world.

Lol nah the utmost respect to them for beating us for the first time ever. They played a sound game, and we deserved to take the L.
No harm no foul.
Why the U.S. hate. We don't care about soccer. Outside the U.S. they don't care about american football. Yall should be happy you are better than us at something.
Because at these past Olympics, we had the most gold & overall medals. We'll just be better at everything else.
To me soccer is boring. But I don't understand the game. Even if I understood the game I might still find it boring.
