March 25, 20214 yr 8 minutes ago, pied said: Right before the goal and halftime Holden(I think) were talking about how it was almost the perfect half for the US. I wouldn't have disagreed with that statement. Yes, he said that he couldn’t promise that there would be goals in the second half, but was pointing out that most of the group’s matches had upticks in scoring in the second half... ...and the Soto’s ill-advised back pass followed by Soto overrunning in an attempt to get back and atone for his mistake and BAM... 0-1.
March 25, 20214 yr From what I saw (~60 minutes) a draw would have been fair. Either team scores a fluke goal like that, good on them. They got it, and not going to sweat the result. At all. Only thing that matters is Sunday. Was true before the game, would have been true if we got run 5-0, and is true now.
March 26, 20214 yr Half of the Haiti squad looks like they have better things to do after today. Only a few guys look like they want to score.
March 26, 20214 yr So El Salvador wins 2-1. They need a loser tonight and they need their opponent to fall behind in tie breakers. If Canada loses it needs to be either 3-0 or at least 4 goals. If Honduras loses, it needs to be by 5 goals.

If there is a winner, they are the group winner and then 2nd is the loser unless the above scenarios happen. EDIT - IMHO, if Canada scores at all, then El Salvador isn't moving on. I don't see this being a 6 goal game, and certainly not that one sided. Edited March 26, 20214 yr by Captain Ron
March 26, 20214 yr Canada just scored and has looked really good. If they hold on for this win, they are going to be a tough game Sunday.
March 26, 20214 yr And just like that Honduras equalizes. That's the first goal Canada has given up thus far in the tournament. Edited March 26, 20214 yr by Captain Ron
March 26, 20214 yr I only watched the first half, but Canada looked to be the more dangerous team. I think either are going to be tough opponents. US-Honduras is 5 PM Eastern on Sunday.

US-Honduras is 5 PM Eastern on Sunday. Canada is not good in the final third, but has some speed. Honduras is a little chippier... (shocking)... and more skilled, but not quite as fast. (The USA is not fast, so this works out fine.) Both teams looked to be much worse than I had anticipated. That doesn't mean that the USA can't have brain farts and gift a goal, but we will be the better team against Honduras and we're not that good.

Honduras KO'd the US from the CONCACAF tournament and eliminated them from automatic qualification. The US and Colombia played a 2 leg playoff that the US lost at home 1-2 (after drawing in Colombia 1-1). Edited March 26, 20214 yr by Captain Ron

March 28, 20214 yr Author catrachos shots are more speculative than dangerous but given their dominance the last 10 minutes they will expect to get something out of this half
March 28, 20214 yr Freddy Adu would help this team. I mean, Freddy Adu from a long time ago. That's me at 18 seconds, btw. Was cool because it was on Sportscenter that night.
March 28, 20214 yr 1 minute ago, Knoxtnhorn said: A shot on goal would be kind of cool. You know. Soccer and all. Right now, I'd settle for a few successful passes before yet another giveaway.
March 28, 20214 yr Move mothereffers! What the hell does this team do during practice? I'm speaking to the offensive 3rd, btw. Absolutely no runs. Edited March 28, 20214 yr by Knoxtnhorn
March 28, 20214 yr Vines just had 40 yards of space and dribbled right into the defender and laid off a lame square ball for nothing.
March 28, 20214 yr Lulz. From BigSoccer... Quote The scary part is our only attacking sub has more goals/assists for the opposition than he does for the US.
March 28, 20214 yr Now, the worst game I think I've ever watched will get worse because Honduras will be laying all over the field for the next 45 mins.
March 28, 20214 yr I don't think there was a single shot on goal. Might need wholesale subs after halftime. Kessler has to be subbed out otherwise risk playing a man down if he draws another yellow card. Edited March 28, 20214 yr by UDontKnow

And who the hell thought Leslie Jones would be a good person for an ad?
March 28, 20214 yr Author kreis has a u-23 c-side to work with. he played the entire roster in the group. soto has to come on.

But every player on this team is a professional soccer player. There is no excuse for the half-ass walking around and inability to make simple passes. We don't have a SINGLE shot on goal.
March 28, 20214 yr Jesus Fucking Kreis. Don't think I can watch any more. Lemme know if it's a miracle comeback.
