Probably the u20 as the u23 is already dealing with Olympic Qualifying.

Actually it looks like he got called up to the full USMNT game in Columbus against Guatemala. Color me surprised! He would be much more useful against Colombia IMO but whatevah

Eh, he has shown no interest in playing for Croatia instead of US so I am not too worried about that. I am worried about qualifying for Olympics!

 

[Meier]

If he's going to make the difference in us winning a qualifier, then we won't do anything of note in the Olympics anyway. I say get him capped. He's earned it.

Just looked at the table, shocked to see Columbus and Seattle are the last two teams. Obviously will change over time but that's still unreal especially in Seattle's case.

Aron Johannsson ruled out for season by Werder Bremen CEO. Blargh. Hope he finds his way back to health sooner rather than later.

He has had a really tough go of it as of late with those injuries. We're snake bit at striker.

CONCACAF President candidate Victor Montagliani wants to look at increasing the Gold Cup from 12 to 16 teams.

He also wants CONCACAF to sell tv rights for their own competitions (and FIFAs) as a block (centrally), to increase funding for smaller FAs.

16 teams seems a little crazy.

1. Mexico
2. USA
3. Costa Rica
4. Panama
5. Honduras
6. Jamaica
7. Canada
8. Trinidad and Tobago
9 Guatemala
10. El Salvador
11. Haiti
12. Cuba

13. Nicaragua?
14. Belize?
15. Puerto Rico?
16. Antigua?? Domincan Republic??

Gets pretty dicey around 10, let alone 12 or 16... I guess he really wants that Caribbean island vote lol

So long as those rights don't get stuck behind some fucking paywall or on some channel no one has...

I wouldn't be surprised if Guatemala take it to us and win tonight.

 

[ZZMitch]

US up 1-0 on Colombia early! Luis Gil

 

[AnotherDayAnotherDollar]

2 Ws tonight!

 

[smokeandmirrors]

i wish they'd fuckin quit using this graphic

Nice!

i wish they'd fuckin quit using this graphic

I like the one that actually puts them in formation. This one is confusing.

 

[Meier]

You'd think they'd at least put D/M/F (G is pretty obvious haha) next to the player names since a large majority of people don't know these players that well.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Seeing the new away kit on the U23 team makes me think they aren't that bad.


jk, they're atrocious

 

[Meier]

US should have had #2 there.. or at least done better with the chance.

Seeing the new away kit on the U23 team makes me think they aren't that bad.

I don't necessarily mind if the kits aren't super traditional, but this is such a departure and so random that it's really questionable. I can't imagine it will sell well so you have to wonder what the impetus even is.

 

[Meier]

Another absolutely golden chance wasted.

 

[Cornballer]

Yeah, the new away jerseys don't look good. :/

Home ones are fine, though.

 

[Meier]

Horvath off due to a possible concussion, Cody Cropper in. 6 minutes of added time in the 1st.. 2 minutes gone thus far.

 

[The Culture Vulture]

Y'all ready for a nervy 45'+?

 

[Cornballer]

Need some more possession in the second half. I don't know how long they can hold out in this heat with only two subs to use.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

yeesh they us need to up their possession game. they are currently getting hammered right now

 

[B-Dubs]

Thank god I am drinking, this shit is tense.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

wow that shot by morris hits the crossbar

 

[B-Dubs]

HOW DOES THAT NOT GO IN?!

 

[ZZMitch]

Morris off the bar! Ahhhhh

 

[smokeandmirrors]

ugh

 

[B-Dubs]

Wait, what?

 

[Cornballer]

Welp

 

[CMojicaAce]

Is the away goal rule in effect for this playoff?

I think they mentioned it earlier in the broadcast.

 

[talisayNon]

omg how was that not a card.

I fucking hate sports

Morris is fucking God

 

[talisayNon]

God i hate the turtling. So annoying.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

ball blows off the line, cropper gets card for time wasting

ok then

 

[Cornballer]

God i hate the turtling. So annoying.

I completely understand doing it at the end of a match or if you're down a man, but trying to bunker for 90 minutes is rarely effective.

 

[Cornballer]

1-1 FT. Good result.

I've been watching US soccer since 06 still haven't seen it change.

Still play this boring non attacking style.

But I mean looking at this lineup I guess it's understandable.

 

[sazabirules]

Howard; Cameron, González, Orozco, Castillo; Yedlin, Bradley, Diskerud, Bedoya; Wood, Dempsey. #GUAvUSA

 

[Clydefrog]

These guys on the beIN preview show are really awkward

 

[B-Dubs]

Guess FabJ and Altidore aren't 100% yet.

 

[ActStriker]

Lee gonna be a 2H sub for Mix, book it

 

[Cornballer]

As always, some suspect lineup choices for Klinsmann. Let's go USMNT!

 

[Clydefrog]

Loudest moment of silence EVER

 

[Cornballer]

Ah, so Brooks and Besler are hurt. That explains Orozco.

 

[smokeandmirrors]
