November 17, 20232 yr Outscored TNT 19-0 the previous 3 matches. GGG needs to start what he finished with here tonight. Pepi and Balogun up top and Aaronson as well. Also Musah deserves to get his goal! First penalty this lineup gets needs to go to him!
November 17, 20232 yr Giooooooooo! ????? Is that like a new cologne or something? [emoji6] Smells like victory.
November 17, 20232 yr That was 80 minutes of absolute dogggshit. At least Monday T&T won’t play as crazy a bunker as they did this match
November 17, 20232 yr Honest question, but does Ream start for us in 2026? Dude seems like he still has a lot of miles to go and not seeing anyone challenge him out of that spot yet.
November 17, 20232 yr Not too entertaining until the last 20 minutes. But a fun night, and lovely weather.
November 17, 20232 yr I was impressed that the crowd kept at it for so long. I’d have been throwing shit and booing

November 17, 20232 yr So I just got home after some detours on the way here. Glad we won 3-0. But damn if I didn't see a team that was not prepared for a 9 man bunker job against them. WTF is GGG doing?!?!?! It was pretty obvious that is what T&T was going to do, why wasn't this team ready for that? And then to be up a man for 55' before our first goal? Hell, how many SOGs did we even have? I see an official count of 8, but most of them were well late into the game. Despite the win, a not great opening game.

Probably only one real shot off target and another thing that went 20 to 30 FEET over the goal and that was it. Fortunately I was in the 15th row of section 103 behind T&T’s goal in the second half and was like Bob Stoops… …because I had balls flying past me from every direction.

Crowd filled in nicely, weather/temp stayed nice, team dominated play, Yanks got the win - great night all around! I kept telling my friends that we're absolutely killing the X/O and being aggressive, so the dam will break and we'll get the G sooner or later and after we got the 1st one, I said "watch, we'll probably get 3 here in the last 5 minutes" so I feel very smart today.

November 17, 20232 yr Woah, I didn't see the other Nations League score from yesterday. Panama went to Costa Rica and won 3-0. That just about puts them in the Copa America unless Costa Rica can reverse that. Tonight: Jamaica hosts Canada at 6 PM Central Honduras hosts Mexico at 8 PM

Don’t remember the player’s name, but Costa Rica went on a run to qualify for the 2022 World Cup because they abandoned their old farts and went with their kids. I thought that they had what it would take to be #4 in CONCACAF (behind the 🇺🇸, 🇲🇽, & 🇨🇦) for the next cycle or two.
November 18, 20232 yr Jamaica-Canada is on a rain delay. They aren’t going to start for at least 2 hours now.

November 18, 20232 yr I’m about 10-12 minutes behind the play in the game, Honduras is up 1-0 and unlucky to not be up 2-0. They are playing better and Mexico is kinda shaky.
November 18, 20232 yr I know they probably can make this up at home, but Mexico is losing 2-0. Big yikes for them.
November 18, 20232 yr I know they probably can make this up at home, but Mexico is losing 2-0. Big yikes for them. L-Tri lose 2-0. Home leg should be interesting. They had possession but Honduras outshot them 12-8 and they only managed 2 shots on goal. I thought Santi was supposed to be better than Pepi.
November 18, 20232 yr Fucking Mexicans are Hondurans’ bitches! Even their Argentine strike, Santi “No Gol” Gimenez!
November 18, 20232 yr U17 team not doing do well against France. They are down 3-0, but worse is that 3 players have been lost for the next game, 2 on yellow card accumulation and 1 on a silly late red card for DOGSO, on a goal that wouldn’t matter.
November 18, 20232 yr This game also had a ridiculous 14 minutes of stoppage in the second half. It caused the red card, which happened about 7’ in.

The kid with the red card in stoppage time was/is a fucking idiot! Down 0-3 when you need a win and the late game sub goes full 2010 Charles Puyol tackling Arjen Robben and gets a straight red and the announcer is saying “That’s “unfortunate’.”… NO! That’s full-blown regarded! ”Fortune” / “Misfortune” is a bad bounce. This was a fucking dumb as shit decision. Send that fucker home early on a plane by himself. 9 hours ago, Captain Ron said: This game also had a ridiculous 14 minutes of stoppage in the second half.

Again, J.P Dellacamera[sic] going on about the 14 minutes of stoppage time and how we should be trying to protect the kids… Look Shit For Brains… There are 14 minutes of stoppage time because the game was stopped for 14 minutes!! 😂 He and that low-voiced woman who turns one-syllable words into 2-3 syllable words could not grasp the basic concept that the kids were NOT playing an extra 14 minutes, but rather were making up the 14 minutes that they DID NOT PLAY while 45 minutes ticked off the clock. If soccer ever realized that simply STOPPING THE CLOCK while tending to injuries, taking water breaks, consulting VAR, celebrating goals before kicking off, and subbing off players, you wouldn’t have idiot announcers moaning about stoppage time and misleading some viewers into thinking that the kids were playing extra minutes.

In fairness to Tillman I don't think he plays there often. We were a different team with Aaronson and Pepi on the pitch.
November 19, 20232 yr Canada won this morning 2-1 in Jamaica to finish off the first legs of the QFs. That means: Monday Trinidad & Tobago Vs USA 6 PM (USA 3-0) Panama vs Costa Rica 8 PM (Panama 3-0) Tuesday Canada Vs Jamaica 6:30 PM (Canada 2-1) Mexico Vs Honduras 8:30 (Honduras 2-0)

Lol. Was it July Fowdy? I was sick, and had just finished off a couple of bourbons. I fell asleep in the 1st half thinking about what a disaster this game was turning into. I wake up at halftime hearing Fowdy's voice, so I assumed I really was just having a nightmare.

She has been coached into lowering her voice to not sound shrill (I guess) and she stretches out the last word of each line (not always the end of a sentence) whether it is multiple syllables or a single syllable. This absolutely is a learned delivery technique, because no one would ever be tolerated speaking like that growing up, nor hired to keep speaking like that, because a person could never last 5 minutes in an interview with that shit. ”As they move the ba-a-all They are able to pull the opposing defense apar-R-rt. Pulisic has been able to sneak in behind to the back po-o-ost.” This is all delivered with an “Imitate your most boring male high school teacher trying to speak clearly on a day that the teachers’ lounge has run out of coffee.” directive.

November 20, 20232 yr I wasn’t too excited about watching this evening, but with this lineup especially if Gio is playing in the middle of the field has changed that. Hopefully the pitch is playable and not some goat track
November 20, 20232 yr I was asking for a 4-4-2 after the last game! Now its time for Pepi to lay off one to Musah for his first Natty Goal.
November 21, 20232 yr Holy shit I've forgotten how awful the T&T field is. It looks like they're playing on a giant bear fur rug.
