Montreal and San Jose got screwed, just as I suspected would happen...

It was a weighted lottery.

Chivas USA dispersal draft Nov. 19. Draw conducted 11/14 to determine order. Playoff teams get 1 entry in draw, non-playoff+exp teams get 2.

 

[Cornballer]

Sounds like the crowd is overwhelmingly in favor of Colombia.

Kinda surprised at that actually.

 

[Esch]

i can't be the only one that laughed at the combination of our team + the national anthem + children in McDonald's shirts

 

[Cornballer]

Kinda surprised at that actually.

Just looked it up on wikipedia:

Colombians constitute the UK's second largest Latin American group, and on a global scale the community ranks as the world's fourth largest overseas Colombian population.

Presumably there are some people there just to see and cheer for the individual Colombian players, as well.

And now I am no longer surprised.

game on.

 

[Cornballer]

Mix's mustache is amazing.

 

[Cornballer]

1-0 after an Altidore PK.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

JOZY WITH THE PK!

 

[Askani]

Not really a great attempt...

 

[Cornballer]

Not really a great attempt...

They all count, but yeah, that wasn't very pretty.

 

[Esch]

a goal is a goal

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Jozy "It isn't very pretty but it gets the job done" Altidore

 

[Cornballer]

Rubin looks solid so far. Fits right in even as an 18-year old getting his first cap.

 

[tim.mbp]

Jozy!!!

Whats up with playing Jones as a CB?

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Hell of an atmosphere for a friendly

 

[Cornballer]

Jozy!!!

Whats up with playing Jones as a CB?

An attempt to extend his life as a player and keep him on the field for a few more years.

 

[Cornballer]

Liviu Bird's tactical look at how the teams are playing:

 

[Meier]

Garza is playing well. Big dude, very solid.

 

[Esch]

What a run from Yedlin, good lord. Cross wasn't quite there but he could be an absolutely fearsome counterattacker one day.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Boy if Yedlin can transition to the EPL and do well over there he's going to be dangerous as fuck in the coming years.

 

[Cornballer]

Good stuff from Garza and Beckerman. Mix and Johnson need to step it up. The US got lucky with the handball call/non-call.

 

[Nesotenso]

need to make changes. Started off well but the midfield has just been woeful.

 

[Squirrel Killer]

Pro/Reg is a counter-productive idea for top flight leagues. Not just in the US, globally.

 

[Esch]

Decent half, can't complain considering the opponent. I wish our attacking midfield wasn't getting bossed around so much, but that's about it.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Alexi was spot on about the Jurgen/Garber thing and the criticism of Jurgen (as coach vs as technical director).

 

[Clydefrog]

Got to watch a lot of the first half (back at work now ). Some stupid mistakes as always.. the ref missed the Colombian PK...but surprisingly decent half from the guys.

Jozy must spend all his off-time at the gym or something. He's huge.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Lee Nguyen please

 

[Esch]

ahhhh Rubin

 

[Cornballer]

Looks like we've got Johnson at RB, Yedlin at right wing, and Bedoya on the left wing to start 2nd half. No subs.

.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Ugh so close Rubin...

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Yo Rubin. Kid has been impressive so far outside of finishing....

 

[Esch]

awful giveaway by Yedlin, nearly disastrous

 

[cashman]

Rubin has been pretty good.

 

[Meier]

Good defending from Brooks there. Looked like a bit of a dive from Cuadrado.. certainly sold that.

 

[Cornballer]

Garza ain't fallin' for that.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Man that was a hell of a play there. bring that ball back an inch and he's got it.

 

[Meier]

These Colombia players are taking this incredibly seriously. Lots of pushing if a guy doesn't give them the ball immediately after a foul.

 

[Cornballer]

Could use some subs soon.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

He was way the fuck off there

 

[Esch]

definite offside, but i'm not mad after the handball in the box

 

[Cornballer]

Play the whistle

 

[platypotamus]

Absolutely impacted the play. Offsides every day of the week

 

[Esch]

Yep, looking like it's time for some subs.
