Well that escalated quickly

 

[Nesotenso]

Congrats for the hat trick Wondo.


Still don't want you in Brazil.

 

[CobbFC09]

Now we've got a goal fest.

 

[Askani]

What a gift goal. BS call for a free kick.

But....

Wondo hat trick! lmao

Any idea how to participate? They weren't very specific.

If you win you can get a Wondowlowski jersey.

 

[Cornballer]

Holden's on for Beckerman.

EDIT: Castillo, Bedoya, and Shea warming up on the sideline.

 

[CobbFC09]

It'd definitely be unique.

 

[Nesotenso]

man I hope Mix is fine. Fucker went all in

 

[talisayNon]

justwoke up fuck the west coast.

LANDYCAKES!

 

[CobbFC09]

STU!

 

[Askani]

Holden stole Wondo's 4th. lol

 

[Cornballer]

Great to see Holden get a goal there.

They took off the extra W in his name, and his powers have diminished.

Like Samson except letters. I can dig it.

 

[Cornballer]

Holden's anticipation in the center midfield is great. He doesn't look that quick, but he's always taking the correct angle to break things up on defense.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

Passed out after work and just saw score. Holy hell...

 

[Askani]

Awww yis!!

 

[The_Inquisitor]

What a bs PK.

 

[talisayNon]

bad call lol

 

[Askani]

Ridiculous call for a pk.

 

[Cornballer]

Yeah, that's a blown call.

This game is getting out of hand.

 

[CobbFC09]

Yeah, the U.S. got CONCACAF'd in a good way.

 

[Nesotenso]

Parkhurst has to be better. There is some need at RB

I'm a little concerned about the right side going forward in the Gold Cup. Parkhurst and Corona didn't play well tonight. Bedoya looks a little better.

 

[talisayNon]

brek shea is as dumb as his hair cut

wondo should have finished that last shot too. no excuse

 

[Nesotenso]

I'm a little concerned about the right side going forward in the Gold Cup. Parkhurst and Corona didn't play well tonight. Bedoya looks a little better.

RB is a big issue. Cherundolo is old and always hurt. Chandler is the best option but doesn't want to play. Parkhurst is always on the bench at his club.

People want to play LD at RM but he is been effective behind the up front forward.

JK needs to find guys to fill roster spots for Brazil. Wondo got a hat trick but we have better strikers.

[Dartastic]

Murica.

 

[methodman]

i dream of a holden + bradley mid field.

 

[gutshot]

Is this our best B-team ever? I love all the depth we have right now.

 

[Dartastic]

Man, the game was a blast last night. Had a great time, was surrounded by great, rowdy people, and even had a hot girl give me her number. I've got a lady friend already, but that was still pretty cool.

 

[Dartastic]

Fuck yeah I'm in the highlight video, standing on the right below the flag, with the glasses.

1:47 or so.

A report by @ESPN_JorgeRamos has Belize midfielder Ian Gaynair claiming he and a teammate were offered 10K Euros to throw USA Gold Cup game.

Not sure what's worse: the fact that someone attempted to bribe them to ensure the USMNT won or that guy who goes by the name of Yolo

Not entirely sure I buy it, why would someone even bother to try and fix this game in the US's favor? We were always going to steam roll them, they aren't that good.

Much more likely it was an issue of score margin or having one of the teams score in a particular period of time for someone gambling on the game. These aren't typically desperate fans wanting to ensure a result.

 

[AranhaHunter]

What happened to Freddy Adu? This is a legit question. I remember he was supposed to be the next Pele and signed a contract for $1 million when he was 13 or something. Obviously he didn't live up to expectations, but is he still around? Part of Team USA?

And the fact that they were going to use euro's which are useless in the U.S. and Belize.

Yeah, that's what I've been reading which makes sense.

I also just realized this Saturday's Gold Cup game against Cuba is on FOX.

I think he just signed a thing to play with a Brazillian team.

 

[Cornballer]

Yeah, that's what I've been reading which makes sense.

Brian Phillips' article on match fixing for Grantland is worth a read.

 

[platypotamus]

We didn't get a team USA gold cup game up here in Seattle, but I'm heading to the games tonight. Cheering for Martinique (nothing against Panama, but come on), and Canada (because it would be super hilarious for Mexico to not get out of the group stage).

I just made a @keikamara jersey for the game Saturday...I mean hey it worked for @ChrisWondo

Hmm, a little noise out there about Spurs looking to sell Dempsey...hope it's not true.
