Turned that around quick. This ref is adorable though.

"What is your name? Tell me your name. Thank ju"

 

[shoplifter]

I'm still in shock at how terrible that red was. I can be happy knowing it's getting rescinded, but that's fuck all to help us right now.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Fucking bullshit. Chris Rolfe had no business being in the game past the 62nd minute.

 

[Dartastic]

WE WON TWO IN A FUCKING ROW HOLY SHIT WHAT IS THIS FEELING THANK YOU CAPTAIN JACK

 

[Cornballer]

Brutal Quakes game yesterday. Not sure how they're going to cope with the absences (U23s, U20s, injuries to MPG/Goodson) in the upcoming stretch. The team was thin to begin with.




U23's underway against Costa Rica at the Toulon tournament:

U.S. u23 starting XI vs Costa in Toulon
Horton, O'Neill, Robinson, Serna, Turner, Alashe, Pelosi, Green, Hernandez, Kiesewetter, Morris.

EDIT: 1-1 at HT. Costa Rica free kick to go ahead. Alashe equalized after some nice work from Morris.

 

[UncleO]

Fucking bullshit. Chris Rolfe had no business being in the game past the 62nd minute.

Agreed.

Also when are Nogs and Nando gonna get some protection from the refs in this league? Those two get pounded on and get no calls.

 

[Askani]

In USOC news, if you didn't catch it yet, watch the highlights from the Pittsburgh Riverhounds and the Harrisburg City Islanders yesterday.

Highlights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ioTYxKVRXk

Of if you have the time, watch the whole game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zJ6qYb2C8c

It's bananas.

 

[Judderman]

Just suppress Oba and Dempsey. Please. PLEASE.

 

[Judderman]

Good shit Sam!

 

[Askani]

With SKC being in the West now, I find myself celebrating this NYRBs goal. I'm not used to this.

 

[daegan]

Nice first half vs Seattle, almost makes up for Detroit being jobbed by the ref vs Lansing today.........almost

 

[Judderman]

How the fuck is that not a penalty?

 

[daegan]

How the hell do you not call that?!
And yes I see the handball in the replay, fine, but a slide from behind in the box should be a straight red regardless

 

[ActStriker]

So it's pouring here in Foxborough ATM

Also, even with Nguyen suspended Rowe can't buy a start

 

[Judderman]

Fucking figures.

 

[B-Dubs]

Fucking figures.

What else is new?

 

[Judderman]

What else is new?

Dane was so bad as a sub today, I would rather have seen Grella out there just blasting shots. We looked like we were petrified of the box in the 2nd half, awful crosses, no attempts at all to get in (Dane just kicking it and hoping someone would instantly teleport to get to it left me flabbergasted.). Fuuuuck.

 

[Cornballer]

U.S. Roster for the upcoming Netherlands/Germany friendlies:

Goalkeepers: Brad Guzan (Aston Villa), Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake), William Yarbrough (Leon).

Defenders: Ventura Alvarado (Club America), John Brooks (Hertha Berlin), Timmy Chandler (Eintracht Frankfurt), Brad Evans (Seattle Sounders), Michael Orozco (Puebla), Brek Shea (Orlando City), DeAndre Yedlin (Tottenham Hotspur).

Midfielders: Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), Michael Bradley (Toronto FC), Mix Diskerud (New York City FC), Miguel Ibarra (Minnesota United), Fabian Johnson (Moenchengladbach), Jermaine Jones (New England Revolution), Alfredo Morales (Ingolstadt), Danny Williams (Reading).

Forwards: Juan Agudelo (New England Revolution), Aron Johannsson (AZ Alkmaar), Bobby Wood (1860 Munich), Gyasi Zardes (Los Angeles Galaxy).

World Cup starters Matt Besler, Omar Gonzalez and Graham Zusi all left off U.S. roster because of coach’s decision. #usmnt

Am told Geoff Cameron and Greg Garza were omitted in order to take care of niggling injuries following long season. #usmnt

Bedoya is hurt, too, and Dempsey's wife is expecting.

Grella seems to look worse every week :/

 

[ActStriker]

Well I hope I didn't get sick

 

[B-Dubs]

Grella seems to look worse every week :/

Grella will have a moment or two of "damn that's nasty" every few games, but in general I tend to agree. We have next to no real attack on that side of the field.

 

[v1lla21]

King Midas is alive and well.

 

[ZZMitch]

Worth it for that game heh

Jurgen, or their club coach? I hope Omar plays during the gold cup. He has looked good this season. Can't say the same for Besler.

 

[B-Dubs]

Omar probably got left off so Klinsmann could take another look at Alvarado.

 

[Cornballer]

Those quotes are from Doug MacIntyre at ESPN. Klinsmann has a few quotes here.

Speculation, similar to what B-Dubs mentioned, is that he wants a better look at Alvarado, but there was a lot of head scratching because Omar isn't on the roster.

 

[Cornballer]

Jermaine Jones is out of the US friendlies with a groin strain. They are not adding anyone to take his place. This puts his Gold Cup participation into doubt if it's a long recovery.

Guys tommorow there's a match between New York Cosmos and Cuba

 

[Osorio]

Guys tommorow there's a match between New York Cosmos and Cuba

A few of my family members are going. I'm just excited that the Cuban national team will be on ESPN again. Last time was that friendly in Havana a few years ago.

The Cosmos were received very well for their friendly against FAS a few months ago in San Salvador (FAS won 1-0). I expect the same reception in Cuba.

 

[Cornballer]

Greg Seltzer on Podolski:

Let's talk about a European star dude that eagerly wants to try out MLS - and one near his physical prime, no less. I am referring to Arsenal/Germany attacker Lukas Podolski. Orlando City rejected the chance to sign him late last year and fellow expansion side NYCFC eventually followed suit. I am told that the Gunners are now likely willing to A) loan him out intially & B) pay a considerable chunk of his salary. Seriously, everyone involved is pretty eager to get him moved across the Atlantic - he just needs a team that believes he's worth the expense.

So if your Major League Soccer crew is one versatile, dynamic offensive threat away from contending and has a DP slot to burn, get 'em on the horn already.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Yo we'll take him in Philly..

lol as if our owners would ever pay for the money, even if a big chunk of his salary is already paid for.

[Rainy]

The U-20 game against New Zealand is at midnight PST tonight correct?

 

[ZZMitch]

You missed highlighting LA Galaxy there. Looks like a pretty easy group for them.

 

[Azuran]

Group F looks insane. Two Cascadia rivals and MLS leaders and one of the top teams in Central America.

Should be a fun one.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Thanks. I knew I forgot one...

 

[Delicious Waffles]

The U-20 game against New Zealand is at midnight PST tonight correct?

Yup. 3AM EST. DVRing it.

 

[Rainy]

The U-20 team looks so much better today.

 

[Nesotenso]

The U-20 team played really well. Passing and the technical ability on display was much better. Don't really have any complaints with any of the players performances. But it is clear Acosta is not comfortable playing LB. Zelalem is very calm on the ball and has good vision.

 

[Nyx]

Any videos or gifs of Rubin's goals?

edit: Nevermind, saw them, dat defence hahaha

 

[Cornballer]

Nice for the US to have an easy win in an international tournament for once. It's a rarity.

Zelalem assist, Arriola goal:

 

[Cornballer]

Huzzah, Blatter is done.

US U23s up 1-0 on Qatar right now. Julian Green with a nice goal.

Zelalem assist, Arriola goal:

Holy crap what an assist. He drew 4 dudes to him and just... slotted it through.

 

[Cornballer]

Someone put together a video of every touch from Zelalem in the NZ game. Low level of competition, but he was fun to watch last night.

 

[Omega Kirby]

When's the Cuban match? And what channel?
