EPSN just said pre-game (im assuming) at 9:30. online all i see is 10:15 though.

ESPN online fucking sucks.

[Atlagev]

ESPN has a pretty good promo up with Alexi Lalas and Jared Borgetti, showing the rivalry from both sides:

[NoRéN]

Don't want to type the name in case it's some voldemort type shit and doing so brings them here.

Football thread? No, Ima post in the US soccer thread.

 

[sazabirules]

That unnamed person barely posts in the main football thread now as well.

slowly getting pumped for tonight; debating on whether or not to watch it at home or go to a bar

Watch it at a bar, it'll be more fun!

 

[Heretic]

Have you guys started filling up your water balloons with pee yet? Game's tonight!

Pee? Nasty! I got hit with lemonade in the Gold Cup final at the Rose Bowl!


IT WAS LEMONADE DAMMIT

Fortunate for me, my flag took all of the damage. Thank you, USA flag. I will always salute you.

 

[daoster]

Guys...what if the earthquake this morning was a sign.

Today, the world will be torn asunder, and USA will finally fulfill it's destiny.

Rumors on twitter from Wahl, Ives, have Matt Besler starting at center back for tonight's game. Are you kidding me?! The kid has one cap against Canada, and you're going to start him in Azteca in a WCQ?! Doesn't make sense to me, but hope he can prove me wrong...

I live at the very edge of southern Texas. People here take their USA vs. Mexico soccer seriously. There will be blood.

Klinsmann tinker with the lineup for an important game? I don't believe it.

Having said that, as well as Goodson performed against Costa Rica, I don't think he has the speed for this...

Beesler is a good player but what a trial by fire.

I'm bugging out waiting for this game to start. Would love a result but just need it to be a good contest since I've got some non-soccer fans keeping an eye on this one.

fyi USAGAF, it's cloudy in Mexico City and it looks like it's gonna rain. It's not snow but I think that's gonna make you happy!

On a side note for anyone else that's curious, I hadn't seen it yet and just looked up the regulation FIFA referred to about the protest just to see what it actually said:

4. Protest regarding the state of the pitch, its surroundings, markings or accessory items (e.g. goals, flagposts, or footballs) shall be made in writing to the referee before the start of the match by the head of delegation of the team lodging the protest. If the pitch's playing surface becomes unplayable during a match, the captain of the protesting team shall immediately lodge a protest with the referee in the presence of the captain of the opposing team. The protests shall be confirmed in writing to the FIFA general secretariat during the preliminary competition and during the final competition by the head of the team delegation no later than two hours after the match.

So yeah, I'm guessing since they didn't protest in front of Demps and the head ref...here with sit with 3 points.

Are lineups out yet?

[sazabirules]

Besler in for Goodson and Edu in for Jones.

 

[Clydefrog]

Besler.. holy crap.

and wtf at these suits in the pre-game. So much purple. Where's the patriotism?

[The Culture Vulture]

That sideline reporter for ESPN is the worrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrst.

I usually don't hate on the hot girl on the sidelines with the microphone, I just ignore them but she is so bad. She's local non-major market level, what the hell is she doing on ESPN? She had a trainwreck interview with Dempsey a few days ago and now she's just babbling in the tunnels of Azteca.

This Jorge guy is always terrible. I wish they had a better guy to present as the voice for the Mexican side.

Giant man tears for a win.

Two yellows in a single match mean automatic red card. Suspensions happen after an accumulation of yellow cards, or after a red card depending on the context

lol was that kid wearing a mask?
what does siempre usa mean?
booing a national anthem is so low class

I was asking about those who have a yellow coming into this game, I know two yellows = a red

Always USA.

Fuck these fans for booing.

Typically a ban for the next match unless you win an appeal.

 

[Lkr]

Always USA.

i mean it happens every time, and every time it amazes me. i always complained because i thought our anthem was way too long, but shit does the mexico anthem last for 5 minutes?

 

[Chris R]

Ok, didn't know if it was a different setup for WCQ games.
