Retired US Soccer / World Cup Thread (RIP)

[siff]

I watched a bit of the second half. Mexico appeared to be on a soccer version of a power play. Cuba is turrible.

 

[Screamindemon3]

First win in the last 7 matches for Mexico. Good job guys!

 

[Fayettenam]

Oh, hey, ladies, it's game day.

 

[Biff Tannen]

How many goals for the US tonight? I'm thinking 4.

O/U at 2.5 in my book though.

I'm an optimist.

 

[DCDeacon]

Haiti is the only other team in CONCACAF we have a losing record against (Mexico being the obvious other one). A win tonight gets us to .500 against them, all-time.

I say 4-1. I envision us doing something stupid defensively at some point that costs us a goal. Like Chandler or Yedlin completely losing their mark. Again.

 

[Biff Tannen]

Yeah, I'm thinking Jozy makes magic tonight. 4-1.

 

[deacvision7]

3-0 win.

and keep Alvarado off the pitch. his positioning is dreadful.

Someone help me understand center back pairings, both for our team and in general.
Can the following pairings play together?
Gonzalez/Brooks
Besler/Brooks
Besler/Gonzalez

 

[Tin Cup]

Is Cameron hurt?

Not that I know of but he's clearly in Klinsi's doghouse so I didn't bother listing him.

Edit: just googled what is German for doghouse and found out that it's Hundehutte. #themoreyouknow

Get used to him, Jurgen loves him.

Is Cameron hurt?

Supposedly Stoke asked him to sit out the Gold Cup to heal a couple nagging injuries. I have no doubt that they asked, but I also suspect that if Cameron was a priority for Jurgen, he'd be in the States right now and not wherever Stoke will be training this summer.

he did seem to be kind of turrible. the defense was very porous against Honduras.

 

[deacvision7]

Get used to him, Jurgen loves him.

he literally, YES LITERALLY, got so far out of position that he was vertically in line with Brooks about 7 yards behind the defensive line. I've never seen anything like that from a professional player. I'm not even sure I've seen something as terrible as that from a high school player!

Besler/Gonzo was the go to pairing during qualifying and the World Cup until injuries took hold of all of them

We win 5-0 and DV7 has to go to the ER to get his perma-boner fixed.

Isn't it already erect from Mexico winning last night? :thumbsup:

 

[Screamindemon3]

No chatter about this lineup?

 

[Dick Whitman]

Field at Gillette looks like shit. Temporary sod fields are never a good idea. Why even bother?
