I wouldn't call that getting bailed out or struggling to win. More like not playing to standard or just edging by them. Makes it sound like we got our ass kicked but stole it in the last 10 minutes.

July 3, 20196 yr Author 25 minutes in, Haiti look capable of soaking up another hour of tri possession. Unfortunately Haiti can't muster anything going forward. Game needs a goal.
July 3, 20196 yr Pretty entertaining so far. Haitians have some speed. I think they can get one before the half.
July 3, 20196 yr Decent match so far. Mexico looks dangerous in possession, and Haiti looks dangerous on the counter. Would be shocked if this remains scoreless.
July 3, 20196 yr Author turning on the dvr in case there is anything interesting to watch tomorrow. this thing has nils and kicks written all over it.
July 3, 20196 yr holy crap that guy wasn't even touched. this is why a lot of people can't stand soccer.
July 3, 20196 yr The pk? Oh come on. There was clear contact, he’s allowed to be in pain. Still a great fucking no call by the ref.
July 3, 20196 yr 1 minute ago, JNip said: I might’ve missed it then. Thought that he got the ball and then contact. He got ball then contact, that isn't a fucking penalty.
July 3, 20196 yr It wasn't a penalty and the contact was minimal. That guy rolled around 5 times and was twitching like he was convulsing. It was dumb, and you shouldn't defend that overacting. 2 minutes ago, Braff Zacklin said: Two fouls called against Mexico through 75 minutes. Two. Lulz. To be fair Mexico can't foul Haiti if Haiti never has the ball.
July 3, 20196 yr Just now, Braff Zacklin said: Two fouls called against Mexico through 75 minutes. Two. Lulz. well the problem is they are controlling the ball 90% of the time. while Haiti plays NCAA womens soccer kickball. I'm no fan of Mexico but Haiti is just horrible at any ball control. Yes I do know they aren't really playing to control the ball but when they try they look extremely poor doing it.

July 3, 20196 yr But Haiti has no touch. They get the ball in the box and then ... nothing. They can't put together any decent touches to truly threaten against Mexico's back line.

July 3, 20196 yr 1 minute ago, Captain Ron said: To be fair Mexico can't foul Haiti if Haiti never has the ball. Conversely, it's difficult to keep possession when the other team can foul with impunity. This half, Mexico has seen all of the ball. But the previous half was a little more balanced, and Mexican defenders were grabbing and tugging whenever a Haitian had the ball across midfield and getting away with it. Just can't recall a competitive international in which one side was only cited for two fouls through 82 minutes. Moreno finally gets a third whistle, but he literally had to tackle the guy after several seconds of grabbing.
July 3, 20196 yr 2 minutes ago, KimJongJesus said: Agreed. But Mexico looks gassed. They are losing the 50/50s. They don't need to win the 50/50s. Haiti will just turn the ball over. Look at the last two possessions.
July 3, 20196 yr But Haiti has no touch. They get the ball in the box and then ... nothing. They can't put together any decent touches to truly threaten against Mexico's back line.I can’t imagine Haiti would feel comfortable in a shootout either. Could be wrong but not seeing it.

July 3, 20196 yr Haiti is comical when they have to try to control anythingIt’s going to take a Zardes facial to win it.
