I think CONCACAF needs to ban Honduras from the U20 World Cup qualifying for a while.

If the US and Nigeria both win or draw today and either Portugal and South Korea draw or Panama beats Saudi Arabia and the team that won 12-0 won't even make the knockout stage. N

why are we so spaced out? no pressure on qatar at all. no passing lanes for us.

we should score on every set piece.  their center mids are 5'8".

#6 was very energetic with his pre kickoff words.  and we get a shot on goal immediately

No Mendez or Durkin the next game is not ideal.

Durkin's was just stupid too.

Damn, looked like a good save. 

 

Edit: Should have done better with the penalty.

Weah should have had another as well too.

France plays Mali tomorrow. Six of the players on France's roster are of Malian heritage. 16 of the 23 players on France's roster are of African descent. The French football melting pot continuing at the U20s.

Fuck - didn't know we were playing today. Props to Weah. Now put him on the fucking senior team already Berhalter.

That was my sentiment before this tournament.   But he has not been great.  Probably not in the top 3 players on this u20 side.  I think there is a reason Sargent and Adams are on the senior team already while Weah is still u20.  I still think Weah gets there and ends up being good, but he has a ways to go.

I wish Sargent and Adams were on the u20 team for this tournament.

I wish Sargent was, I'm fine with Adams not being on the squad. Adams came in and played really well for Leipzig before he got hurt so he needs to be in the senior team plans right now and if it was a choice between the U20 Tournament and the Gold Cup for him then Gold Cup is the right choice.

Adams is a lock to start for the senior team so I am happy he is there.  If Sargent gets significant minutes in the Gold Cup, then that is great too.  Guys who can meaningfully contribute at that level should be working on gelling with the senior team.  

It would be fun to see those guys on the U20 and up our win chances a bit, but there is not a ton of prestige in winning this.  Its not like France are trotting out Mbappe and Guendouzi for this tournament.

Adams is our best player right now (and if he's 2nd it's to a healthy, in form Pulisic). I would drown myself in vodka and stick a pencil in my eye if we played him at anything but a senior level.

Messi and Agüero played for Argentina in the FIFA U-20 World Cup and Adams can’t carry either of those guys’ jocks. (Now or when they were 19/20.)

Adams and Sargent should be playing in the FIFA U-20 World Cup rather than the shitfest that is the CONCACAF Gold Cup.

You learn a shit-load more carrying your team to a semifinal/final/WIN in a World Cup at any age level than you do playing in 5 Gold Cups. 

Having those two skip the World Cup is one of the dumbest fucking things that US Soccer has done in the last 20 years and they’ve got a wall of shame 120 yards long of stupid fucking shit that they’ve done over that time. 

We fucked off all first half. Not good enough to do that shit. I like Weah I hope this is a turning point for him.

Just an utterly nonsensical take.

Two teams took nine points in the group stage, France who the US plays in the Round of 16 and Uruguay who the US would probably play in the Quarterfinals so the US got the hardest draw possible because they couldn't beat Ukraine despite out playing them.

In other news, Norway ran up the score on Honduras for nothing, they finished 6th among the third place teams and are eliminated.

Also Panama won over the Saudi’s which eliminated Portugal which I enjoy.

USA vs France is Tuesday at 10:30am Central

the implied gambling odds suggest the US has a 15 percent chance to win which is the lowest odds to win a Round of 16 match. If they hadn't shit the bed against Ukraine they'd have a 63.6 percent chance to beat Panama (presuming the odds would be the same as they are for Ukraine-Panama)

If this guy can win the heavyweight boxing title then we also have a chance.

Ugh, that was a really good chance they should have done better with. 

we've had a couple good runs here.

We've had almost no possession, but aren't giving up scoring chances. We're picking and choosing our spots, but it seems like scoring chances for us are going to be hard to come by so we need to make them count.

France gets a free header inside the six yard box and somehow doesn't score.

he looked like he got hit in the face with a watermelon.
