Klins gonna go full motherfucker on Orozco, what a fucking retard.

 

[Dartastic]

what the fuck did he do that for?

He got head butted in the face.

 

[Clydefrog]

welp

 

[Regulus Tera]

Really stupid to get those reds in a meaningless match. They have to pay for them in qualifiers.

 

[CMojicaAce]

Yea I'll just slap a player right I'm front of the ref. What could possibly go wrong?

 

[Verano]

USA strikers are making me facepalm. They shoot the ball everywhere except towards the rival goal.

well at least they managed to shoot the ball and hit a post unlike vs Argentina.
bad game for US forwards overall.
shit just saw the red....like why would you do that? so dumb.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Let's add Orozco to my hothead list

Yedlin
Wood
Dempsey
Orozco
Cameron (sometimes)
Jones
Bradley (Sometimes)
Bedoya

 

[Cystm]

Another double send off.

 

[Draconian]

Give us 360 minutes. We still wouldn't score.

 

[Toxi]

I'm expecting a 0-0 snoozer,

Not gonna happen with how both teams have played this copa. Unlike the US, they can actually put a ball in the other net.

 

[Alebrije]

New generation is doing pretty good.

 

[Zackat]

He got head butted in the face.

ahh I just saw the last part. Still unnecessary.

 

[Harl3]

James lol

 

[Bsigg12]

Welp...

 

[Niks]

Colombia so fucking bad...

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Bullshit. Bullshit refs, bullshit play by Colombia.

 

[The Chosen One]

Ugh... all the Colombian time wasting tactics worked.

 

[GhostWriter24]

Bad refs.

 

[smoothj]

Klinsmann out!

 

[Dartastic]

Trash. Should have added at least another minute or two to the clock due to all that shit that was happening at the end of the game.

ahh I just saw the last part. Still unnecessary.

I don't disagree, but at least you've got your explanation. ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

 

[ZZMitch]

Pulisic and Nagbe looked great at the end. Please JK, more minutes... please.

 

[Sub_Level]

We're losers again.

But honestly that was fun to watch.

 

[Corronchilejano]

Colombia won because Bacca made a Homer.

I want to apologize in the name of every Colombian. What an embarrassing display.

Try should've just played the jackass theme instead of the national anthems.

 

[Toxi]

Embarrassing game from both teams. Colombia's defense was a disaster and they basically gave the US the midfield for most of the second half. The US in turn couldn't score a single goal if it was handed them to them on a silver platter.

 

[Megabyte117]

Columbia looks like a team that would hang division title banners

They were the better team today though, USA played well as well

*Colombia =/

Ugly ugly game. Glad we won but... Orozco man. What the hell was that???

 

[Xplatformer]

Now I see why the USA hasn't scored. Their offense is pure weak sauce. Poor passing and their ball handling skills are lacking.

Where have you been. Duh.

It's frustrating as fuck that there is no real $$$ behind making our young players here in the states more interested in the sport of soccer.

Control, strength, pace, touch....start at age 4.....go from there. Hit the inner cities...look for young talent there....

 

[maximum360]

USA flailing.

Glad the ref put them out of their misery.

I look forward to seeing an actual game tomorrow.

 

[The Chosen One]

Let me amend the record.

Pulisic and Nagbe looked good in their brief spell.

Wood missed a sitter.

Zardes had a brain fart 8 yards from the goal.

Yedlin was Yedlin

 

[Unknown Soldier]

RIP in pepperonis

Well....we can't say we didn't have chances against Colombia. We played a lot better in Round 2 and were swimming in great opportunities and couldn't convert one. In the end, we just didn't get it done.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Welp...bad game.

If you can't score against a bad looking defense, then what can you expect.


I think Jones may be done though. Nagbe looks good in tight situations. He may need to start starting. Pulisic can be on the bench for a bit.

I guess the only problem is losing Jones's defense and aerial?

Can't wait for pekerman to defend this shit team.

 

[HawkeyeIC]

How is the clock still handled like that in 2016? So dumb.

 

[denx]

The indecision of USA's offense cost them the game. They never knew what to do with the ball when they were in front of Colombia's goal.

 

[SlimySnake]

U.S players are a bunch of idiots. Yedlin got two yellows in a span of 30 seconds three games ago. Then Jones got a straight red card in Quarterfinal for acting like a jackass and then Bobby Wood yellow carded himself out of the semifinal too. And now this fuckface literally slaps a guy right in front of the referee. How stupid do you have to be to do that? It's like they are 2 year olds.

 

[trembli0s]

Honestly, that was a really exciting game. The US looked miles better tonigh than against Argentina. If these pieces all stay, the US can make some noise at the WC.

Need to finish chances.

 

[Beach]

Klinsmann out!

The only way JK gets fired before the world cup is if they don't qualify

Nothing the team did this tournament deserved a firing

Good lord we need more left and right backs though

 

[Tagyhag]

While the US definitely had their chances, 4th place is pretty damn respectable on a tournament that has CONMEBOL teams.

Colombia deserved that 3rd place but some of their tactics are dirty, it's not a good look. Especially for James who's supposed to be the face of the team.

 

[Oveja Negra]

Congrats to Colombia-GAF for the third place, but damn... horrible ending for you, guys.

James is pretty much the dictionary definition of overrated.

Ospina is absolutely awesome, though. Fantastic goalkeeper. In my opinion, the best in this tournament.

 

[Dinokill]

Colombian hooliganettes triple teamed a gringa hooliganette at the end. Lol

 

[Xplatformer]

Bradley and Jones need to be off the team. Are there seriously no better players in the US in their 20s? Seriously?




And WHERE THE HELL WAS BROOKS? It's still 0-0 if he plays.

 

[NoRéN]

Another fuck up in semi finals. Go klinnsman!

I guess when you know you're ass, you act out like a child. It's sad but it's the best the US can do atm really. :/

 

[Dartastic]

Frankly, the loss doesn't bother me at all. It's the lack of meaningful minutes for some of the younger, supporting cast like Nagbe and Pulisic in this game. They're both going to be part of the 2018 squad almost guaranteed, why not give them more than 10 or 20 minutes in games like this?

Bradley and Jones need to be off the team. Are there seriously no better players in the US in their 20s? Seriously?

Nagbe is 25. No reason Jones should be on the field in a game like this, even though he admittedly played pretty well today.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Klinsmann out!

Nope

Another fuck up in semi finals. Go klinnsman!

This was the 3rd place match not the semi finals.

I, for one, am very excited to never see Orozco wear a USMNT jersey ever again

 

[Nesotenso]

Colombia had one brilliant moment and the US trio of Zardes, Dempsey and Wood didn't make most of their chances. At this level you have to be more decisive in the box.

I, for one, am very excited to never see Orozco wear a USMNT jersey ever again

actually he filled in for Johnson quite well tonight. Shouldn't have lost his cool. Ref was right there and saw the head butt. I guess there were words being exchanged which made the situation heated.

Argentina and Chile are a class above the rest of the field really. But have to favor Argentina.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Hahaha, yeah, I saw that.

It's just too bad that this is the case.

that was the best highlight of the match.
