OT: GOLD CUP

[Zak57]

Boom!

 

[AreYouNUTS]

That was a little better but dammit we really have problems finishing. Should’ve had three or four goals before the rain started. Anyway, let’s beat Mexico!

But those first 17 minutes was probably the best stretch of soccer for the USMNT in years (and Jamaica isn't Brazil, but they ain't Trinidad and Tobago either). It shows there's some potential there for this team to get much better, especially with the young talent we now have.

Always been the Achilles of our soccer team. We have the athletes in the back, and are super fit. We miss the clinical guys up front that finish. For some reason we just can’t produce them. You watch other countries, good ones, and they always seem to have them.

The back line with this team is actually worse than ever with the injuries.

We need to build a brick wall to defend against the attacking Mexican strikers.

Haiti stopped them cold. HAITI. Watch the film coach!!!

Haiti utilized on oceanic strategy to defend.

Proud thinks he's being clever but he's not.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

It wasn’t bad.

 

[RU848789]

In the immortal words of Mills Lane...

 

[Caliknight]

U S A! U S A!

 

[RU848789]

They were expecting more than 50% Mexican fans - hard to say from looking at the stadium, but I'm sure it's close - atmosphere looks to be electric.

 

[RU848789]

Glad to see Altidore starting. Need to start well like the other night.

 

[Caliknight]

Do all of these Mexican fans there live in the US?

 

[RU848789]

Almost, by Pulisic, but gotta give Altidore credit for holding that one up and the pass...

 

[RU848789]

Do all of these Mexican fans there live in the US?

No, they just crossed the border yesterday...

 

[RU848789]

Jozy has to convert that one.

 

[Zak57]

Jozy has to convert that one.

Yes he does. Hope it doesn't bite us.

 

[Caliknight]

Looks that way. INS should post up. That would solve this disparity problem fast.

Why are you trying to ruin a 2nd soccer thread? You don't even care about the sport. Just leave.

Trolls can't help themselves.

Very intense, high temperature game. Some of the shithousery has started, with a Mexican player kicking a ball at a prone Pulisic as after the whistle was blown. Ref better be careful or he'll have to distribute cards like candy.

 

[RU848789]

Yes he does. Hope it doesn't bite us.

How can it not, with the premium on goals in soccer? Not saying we're now guaranteed to lose, but winning would be a lot easier if we were up 1-0.

 

[Abro1975]

Stadium is so loud I can't hear the commentators, may have to put on the closed caption, lol

 

[RU848789]

Pulisic is so freakin' good it's not funny - a joy to watch.

 

[RU848789]

What the hell was Ochoa thinking there? Almost by Arriola.

 

[Zak57]

Pulisic is so freakin' good it's not funny - a joy to watch.

So glad I get to watch him every game now as a Chelsea fan going on over 10 years!

I am watching the game. Like there aren’t illegals there lol. Why does that bother you?

Take Morris out. He’s killing the squad.

 

[RU848789]

We're getting sloppier and they're applying more pressure - danger time...

Yeah, never been a Morris fan. Not sure what our coaches see in him. Looks invisible. Cannon looks more effective on that flank.

 

[RU848789]

Damn, that looked painful and he might be their best player - hope he's ok, as that was a tough foul on him.

Not quite.

Actually it really wasn’t.

 

[RU848789]

Best US half in a long time, considering the competition. We looked dangerous, having several great chances and were close in possession time against Mexico, which usually doesn't happen. Should really be up in this game.

 

[RU848789]

Actually it really wasn’t.

Didn't look painful or you don't think he was fouled? Not a brutal foul, but you hate to see someone get hurt on a foul.

 

[T2Kplus10]

Soccer game 0-0 at halftime.
#shocker

Of course just didn’t think it was anything overly-brutal. My bad maybe.

 

[Caliknight]

It wasn’t a rough foul at all. The dude just fell awkward.

He doesn't fall if he's not fouled.
