  1. What’s funny is that they don’t get exactly what the book/movie are saying via satire and just who the humans represent. You would think Doogie’s Hugo boss outfit would be a give away.
  2. BTW - as noted, Mexico comes through in 4th place. So the matchups for the Semis are: Canada-Mexico USA-Panama The games are to be played at SoFi
  3. Sitting back to let a team fire at will is going to get what you saw tonight - losing 4-0. If Honduras wanted to play smart, they would have kept Mexico back and limited their shots. Letting them get off 27 shots was just insane. They also needed to have a much better play for the counter, they had maybe 1 or 2 counters that had any teeth to them.
  4. Nah, that was in the box. And Honduras got what they deserved. They played so dumb in the 2nd half. It was like watching Berhalter coach the US.
  5. Most fight Honduras has shown all night.
  6. It would be a miracle for them to get a shot. They aren't scoring a goal.
  7. Honestly, we scored 4, we scored have the lead on GD. Our back line cost us the top spot. I would also note that since Mexico can only go thru as 4th place, I don't mind not drawing them in the semis - let Canada deal with them.
  8. Honduras might as well just go home now. They have been playing incredibly stupid this second half and we destined to concede that goal.
  9. I also don't get their need to try to walk every ball out, instead of just clearing them out. Given their tactics, just booting them down the field is a lot smarter than what they are doing.
  10. I don't get what Honduras is doing. They are inviting 100% pressure, they are just asking to get scored on with these tactics.
  11. I wouldn't count out Mexico even if Honduras scored to equalize.
  12. Never count them out - you knew they were going to get one eventually.
  13. Wild stat of the day: Messi just assisted on his 58th international goal. That tied him for the international assist record with ...
  14. that’s the ball above the keeper and 23 got the ball his foot clean. Shanked it.
  15. OH MY GOODNESS!!! How did Mexico not score there!??!?!
  16. Unknown. The teams are seeded based on points in their 2 games of the QF stage. Standard 3-1-0 points. Right now it is: Canada 6 pts, +4 GD USA 6 pts, +3 GD Panama 4 pts, +1 GD Mexico would be 4th if they advance. Honduras can finish any place from 1st to 4th should they advance.
  17. You sure about that? I always saw it as 8:30 kick off.
  18. In other CNL matches: Panama-Costa Rica drew 2-2 last night. Combined with a Panama 0-1 win in leg 1, Panama advances. Canada is up 3-0 at home right now on Suriname. They won the first leg 1-0 so well on to advancing.
  19. Things certainly can change. But if we were making a World Cup roster today - Pepi would be the #2 no question about it. I don't question that Balogun is going to put in the work. This style of play matches his game too much for him to not want to play in it.
  20. I don't think it's much of a comparision - Balogun is the #1 if he is healthy. The question is who is our number 2 and how much of a drop off is there? And right now Pepi has set himself apart as that #2. He's also shown that the dropoff is a lot less than it was before. Its still significant though.
  21. I hope he see just what this team can do when they are freed up. He was such ass.
