What a save.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Honestly this game has been more exciting than the ones yesterday between bigger name teams. That save was amazing.

 

[Salsa]

oh boy

THANK FUCK

DON'T SHOW THAT ANGLE, TOP SEATS ARE BARREN

 

[The Chosen One]

Crowd is good for this match tbh. Problem is these NFL stadiums are too big and are going to look empty. Most stadiums for these competitions outside the main matches usually are 30-40k stadiums. Probably should have used MLS venues for matches like this one.

This.

And fantastic save.

But yeah, it's not uncommon for lesser games to get low attendance in big tournaments. It happens in Europe as well. It's just the organizers for this tournament vastly over-estimated the demand and priced out most people, which would have helped fill the seats a bit more. Using MLS stadiusms for games like this would have really improved the game atmosphere and the crowd view on TV.

That said, the crowd is still pretty lively in this match and they're engaged. It sounds like a crowd that's much bigger.

Anything near the border, we'll bring a pack stadium. Doesn't matter the opponent.

Edit: Reason why I believe USA likes to play us in Columbus

Man, Jamaica so close..

Yep.

Attendance isn't exceptionally poor. But only filling 50% of 70k seat stadium will always look worse than filling 100% of a 35k seat stadium on TV.

You can say Jamaican You Crazy.

 

[mreddie]

VEN wins.

 

[Harl3]

We are the leader of the group!

In addition, Columbus has a small capacity and access to the tickets tends to move through US supporter groups first. So it is the USSF's way of giving the US a home field advantage.

Texas to California Mexico can fill any stadium. And a lot of the bigger cities elsewhere. It is one of the reasons they play so many friendlies in the US. There are mostly Mexican-Americans attending. Basically, Mexico is the most popular NT in the US.

At least until the WC rolls around. Then a bunch of people follow the US for around a month.

Thank fuck Glendale has a dome, temp is 114-6

Javier Aguirre? Univision always gets the most random people, but at least they know their stuff

honestly most places in the country will bring a packed stadium for Mexican games.

Time to make future President Trump cry, VAMOS MEXICO

Can Mexico keep their perfect streak?

 

[DecoReturns]

Luis Saurez is good, but has he ever scored with his face?

Chichados has. Case close on whos better

 

[CMojicaAce]

Nerves are starting to kick in.

I think Mex will get out of the group even if we lose, but it would be nice to avoid Argentina in the Quarter Finals.

 

[uncredited male]

Agree. It takes a special talent to do things like this.

 

[Salsa]

I was about to post that

burn him at the stake

i'd move to a different country

 

[-bakalhau-]

Agree. It takes a special talent to do things like this.

My brain was all confused for like 8 plays of that gif. That is a great goal. Incredible how that went in.

 

[CMojicaAce]

He transferred his goalscoring ability to Zusi that night.

 

[DecoReturns]

That was his evil twin, Chicharron.



Talavera starting GK? interesting.


Edit: The puto chants are seen offensive by FIFA, but they really are not homosexual attacks.
Hell we do it to our own players in Liga MX, even charity games

 

[mreddie]

LGBT apology?

 

[CMojicaAce]

LGBT apology?

"Puto" chants from the Mexican crowd towards the opposing goalkeeper.

That was the most unfulfilling win I have ever experienced.

 

[Salsa]

ah yes classic class

 

[mreddie]

"Puto" chants from the Mexican crowd towards the opposing goalkeeper.

Ah, Uni is like "Don't get mad at us, get mad at the fans."

Mexico soccer fans are still a bit...passionate.

 

[Salsa]

US getting a south american lesson in passionate profanity lol

reminds me when Suarez said "negro" randomly... which is what literally everyone calls black people in Uruguay and it has absolutely no negative connotation and is pronounced a different way

but apparently now he's racist to the world

 

[DecoReturns]

We did it so much to Brazil during the World Cup, that they started doing it to us. It was beautiful

[Salsa]

apparently 5 thousand Uruguayans there

[mreddie]

Holy shit, it's getting packed, it's the go to stadium for big events now.

 

[Delicious Waffles]

Apparently, Messi is out of Argentina's opener tomorrow.

argies and us are just givin the rest a chance

 

[R10Neymarfan]

No superstars makes it kinda bad draw especially when promised through advertising. I know it coincidence with injuries and what not but still

 

[mreddie]

Did they get the Red Dead Redemption OST?

 

[Tecl0n]

BTW, Pizarro is officially not coming. Arg will wait for Biglia recovery. Sorry OP for making you change the OP the other day.

 

[DecoReturns]

I always saw posters for Suarez, Messi, Neymar, and Chicharito. And the only one whos going to play first group game is Chicharito?

thats funny.


We are going to make all the money for Conmebol. If any controversial, you know who to blame /s
