Brad Evans saved the United States from another deflating World Cup qualifier on
the road.
Hydro Flask Australia Stockists . Jermaine
Beckford tied the score in the 89th minute as the American defence again
stumbled on a restart. But Evans scored an unlikely goal in the second minute of
second-half stoppage time, giving the U.S. a thrilling 2-1 win over Jamaica at
Kingston on Friday night that solidified the Americans chances of qualifying for
next years World Cup. "It was a totally blind shot," Evans said. "The only thing
in my mind was turn and shoot. That was it." Jozy Altidore scored for the second
straight game, putting the Americans ahead in the 30th minute with a header off
Graham Zusis cross. They had scored the first goal in four of five previous road
qualifiers under coach Jurgen Klinsmann but were only 1-2-1 in those matches. It
looked as if they would drop points again when an unmarked Beckford beat
goalkeeper Tim Howard with a close-range header from Rodolph Austins 40-yard
free kick. In wasting an early lead during a semifinal-round loss at Jamaica
last September, the U.S. allowed both goals off corner kicks. But just over a
minute into four minutes of stoppage time, Michael Bradley quickly played an
American corner kick short to Zusi. He gave the ball right back, and Bradley
faked around Alvas Powell and slid a left-footed shot to Evans. Evans had his
back to the goal with Beckford, OBrian Woodbine and Daniel Gordon about 5 yards
from him when he stopped the ball with his left foot. He then turned and kicked
the ball with his right foot over goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts from about 8
yards, a shot that may have taken a slight deflection of the sliding Woodbine.
"Pure elation after the goal, for sure," said Evans, who received a yellow card
for pulling his jersey over his head. "I had no idea it was stoppage time." It
was the first goal in 10 international appearances for Evans, a midfielder
starting at right back. Evans got the start because Steve Cherundolo is resting
after a knee injury sidelined him from December to April, and Timmy Chandler
tore a left knee ligament last month. "It makes travelling a little easier,"
Klinsmann said. "Whats important is that this team now gets more and more the
mentality to bounce back and to kind challenge themselves to win here, not to
look for a tie. We said that from the beginning, we are ready now to come into a
difficult place like Kingston and say we want the three points." Starting a
stretch of three qualifiers in 12 days, the U.S. (2-1-1) improved to seven
points in the 10-game final round of the North and Central American and
Caribbean region, trailing Costa Rica (2-1-1) on goal difference and ahead of
Mexico (1-0-4) on goals scored. Costa Rico won 1-0 at home against Honduras on a
goal by the New York Red Bulls Roy Miller, and Mexico tied 0-0 at Panama
(1-0-3), which has six points. Honduras (1-2-1) has four points and the Reggae
Boyz (0-3-2) have two, with little chance of reaching next years tournament in
Brazil. "We are obviously disappointed," Jamaica coach Theodore Whitmore said.
The Americans host Panama on Tuesday on Evans home field with the Major League
Soccers Seattle Sounders, then play Honduras on June 18 at Sandy, Utah. The top
three nations qualify for next years 32-nation tournament in Brazil, and the No.
4 team meets New Zealand in a playoff for another berth. "The script couldnt
have been better with Brad Evans then, going out to Seattle," Klinsmann said.
Coaching his 28th game since taking over from Bob Bradley in July 2011,
Klinsmann started the same lineup in consecutive matches for the first time with
the U.S. But three in a row wont happen. Jermaine Jones, the tough American
midfielder, sustained a concussion when elbowed by Daniel Gordon during a
corner-kick scramble early in the 56th minute, and Altidore walked off gingerly
in the 83rd minute and pointed to his left hamstring. Zusi was given a caution
for his foul 40 yards out that led to Austins free kick and Jamaicas goal, and
he will be suspended Tuesday for yellow-card accumulation. Bradley nearly scored
in the second minute, sending a 20-yard right-footed shot off the post to the
right of Ricketts. Altidores goal came after Zusi streaked down the right side
and got by Woodbine. Altidore split Gordon and Powell and beat Ricketts with a
header from just inside the 6-yard box. It was the 15th goal in 58 appearances
for Altidore, who combined with Zusi on the first goal in Sundays 4-3 exhibition
win over Germany at Washington, D.C., Altidores first goal for the national team
since November 2011. Austin hit a post to Howards right in the 39th. The U.S.
had been 0-4-1 in qualifiers at The Office, as Kingstons stadium is known. "Its
a very, very difficult place to come in," Klinsmann said. "They gave us a real
fight." Costa Rica beat Honduras 1-0 thanks to a 25th minute goal by New York
Red Bulls defender Roy Miller. The result left Honduras in fifth place, two
points behind Panama, who secured a creditable home draw against Mexico. Jamaica
is last in the group with just two points from five games, leaving the Reggae
Boyz a mountain to climb in the remaining five qualifying matches. The next
round of games is on Tuesday when Mexico hosts Costa Rica, Honduras is at home
against Jamaica and Panama travels to take on the United States.

. -- The goal posts lying flat on the field, Arizonas fans lingered on the
field, congregating around the locker room entrance nearly 30 minutes after
rushing out of the stands. LOS ANGELES -- When Abner Mares and Jesus Cuellar
step into the ring under the lights in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday night,
promoter Richard Schaefer is also getting back into the action.After a two-year
absence from boxing due to his departure from Golden Boy Promotions, the
architect of Oscar De La Hoyas company is officially returning to the
promotional game with this card under his own Ringstar Sports banner.It feels
great, and what really feels great is how happy the fighters are, Schaefer said.
Theyre happy to have me back. I think what they were missing a little bit is
someone who speaks for them and stands up for them. I think that has been
missing a bit, so theyre happy, and Im happy to be back at it.The Swiss
ex-banker had to take a break from the sport as part of the settlement of his
protracted breakup with Golden Boy, but after that restriction expired, Schaefer
decided he couldnt stay away. Since forming Ringstar last summer, he has signed
several up-and-coming fighters and solidified his connection with Al Haymon, the
reclusive mastermind behind the careers of several dozen fighters in need of
promotion.With Oscar, I built the largest boxing promotional company in the
world, and I sort of left on top, Schaefer said. I had broken all the
pay-per-view records, and I could have said, `Thats it. I accomplished all I
wanted, and now Im going to do something totally different. So I was at a
crossroads, but once the boxing bug bites you, it bites you.Schaefers first
fight card in his second act of this career is headlined by two well-matcheed
bouts between tested fighters.
Hydro Flask Australia. The show takes place
at the Galen Center and will be telecast on Showtime.Cuellar (28-1, 21 KOs), the
menacing WBA featherweight champion, defends his belt against Mares (29-2-1, 15
KOs), a Los Angeles-area favorite who won belts in three weight classes before
losing twice in his last five fights. In an attempt to reboot his career a year
ago, Mares hired trainer Robert Garcia, who trained Cuellar for five fights
before the Argentine moved to Freddie Roach.I always give you guys good fights,
said Mares, who has only been stopped once. Even if I get knocked out, I can say
at least it was a good fight for people.The fight is an opportunity for Cuellar
to increase his stateside drawing power in his seventh consecutive fight in the
U.S. He ended three straight titles defenses with stoppages before his last
bout, a decision over Jonathan Oquendo a year ago.Hes prepared, and he wont go
out there just trying to look for a knockout, Roach said. Hes a good puncher and
everybody thinks hes looking for the KO, but I told him to just let it
happen.The co-main event features Jermall Charlo (24-0, 18 KOs) defending his
IBF 154-pound belt against Julian Williams (22-0-1, 14 KOs). Both fighters are
managed by Haymon, and an entertaining bout would raise both fighters profiles
considerably.Ive been waiting a long time to prove what I can do, Williams said.
Ive been overlooked and underrated a lot.
