Late post again but we are having a watch party at The Hub in Addison on Beltline. 

I wish HOPPE was playing but other than that this is about as good as you can expect

If, "As good as it gets" included Lletget and Zardes then ultra meh.

I listened to a podcast where Charlie Davies and some lady interview people and their guest was Reggie Cannon. This was recorded in late June.

I think that the plan was for Reggie to show out as the starter in the Gold Cup to help facilitate a move to a bigger club this summer.….that hasn’t exactly gone as planned.

I don’t understand how a Zardes / Dike pairing is supposed to work.

They must have looked at this in practice, but it seems like an obvious disaster in my opinion.

Who would you have started over them?   I’d have Hoppe ut the other options are Lewis, Roldan and Giocanni.

Definitely. We are tailgating as well. I'll send you the info and a ticket link. Pricey in the SG area. 74 dollars but not bad compared to what my mexico and ES buddies are paying. If you got social media look up Barra 76, that's our Supporter Group for USA

zardes is going to do sterling things in the box and waste 10 chances

SUM is supposedly disconnected from the nats, and yet this smells like using the yutes to try and put zardes and lletget in the shop window

maybe we're wrong

maybe this works

but i doubt it

jones, twellman, altidore, zardes......  all hat, no cattle

ANYONE

This is an exhibition tournament with exhibition players and every minute wasted on the past costs 10 minutes of the future.  It's a 10:1 ratio.

Gyasi Zardes turns 30 years-old on September 2nd, has a bad first touch, and has never even played in Scandinavia or Greece.

Exactly what kind of shop window do you see him in? Do you think that he is looking for a transfer to a Central American league?

Sebastian Lletget would probably be playing somewhere in a lower league in Europe at this point if he hadn’t hurt himself a few years ago, but he’s been with “Becky G” for 5 years now and his life is in LA. I think that his European window has closed and he’s made peace with that as long as he gets to go to a World Cup.

Thx.  I'll have to check my own adult league sched before I'll know.  Stupid league is putting out the weekend schedule week-by-week.

Playing 9 would be better than playing those two.

They are both MLS journeymen that are over the hill for attackers (production decline starts at 28). They will never sniff Europe, except when we have friendlies over there.

Walker Zimmerman with the acting so that he doesn’t get called for the penalty…

…or not.

Walker dove onto the ball and the back of the Canadian’s legs because he was beaten. I would have given Canada the penalty. 

And near disaster as Sands let the ball roll by him thinking Pine was heading it off only to watch it roll by as well. 

We are really screwed if Zim is out.  Or CB depth is awful.  And we have no wingers so we need 3 of them

I agree 1000% with everything you just wrote.  I said it *seems*like* they are getting featured and the only reason that would make sense given their certainty of not participating in qualifiying.

I think LLETGET loves passing backwards more then he does Becky G

Dike is a moose.

Tank.

Really was t a fan of these new kits, but they’re starting to grow on me.   May have to pick one up next week at the quarters.  

chickenshit beerholder dropping 10 behind the ball

lletget with the assist but otherwise 100% backpassing success rate

zardes actually the only bright spot in open play

Zardes has been fine, but the he and Dike doesn’t seem to be working.  Midfield is a mess.  They have got to make some changes at half.  

this defense is ass.

at some point we keep pushing the cannucks on breakaways and we are gonna get a red/PK

Did you catch 20 secs into the 2nd?  Lletget collects the ball leaving our 3rd, nobody within 20 yards, back passes the ball.

1 fucking shot on goal in 60 mins against, maybe, the 4th best team in CONCACAF?
