Forget who asked what was on CP10's undershirt:

To be fair to Lalas, almost all of the Mexican fans at the game live in the United States and some are Americans.  It's almost impossible to overstate the insecurity of the average Mexican soccer fan

Nice leave by Pepi there.


Pepi is so good at leave the ball with a single touch. You don't need to "hold up" the ball when you have onrushing teammates that you can hit with your first touch.

Weah on a ridiculous run


Yes he is. He'll looking to lock down that starting spot.

 

JAMAICA:    HOLE E. SHIT!

That ball looked like it was speeding up as it flew threw the air, like a rocket taking off from his foot rather than getting kicked by his foot.

Not much Adams can do there, one touch cut back and shot while Adams was flipping his hips. Just a world class move that you have to tip your hat to. 

Only thought is that Turner may have had a better chance at a save simply because he's longer. But Steffen played it about as well as he could and was quick off the spot.

Antonio can hit that shot.  Adams can't give him space there.

I don't think that any of our guys are going to give him that kind of time and space again. It's like not guarding Steph Curry or Damian Lillard if they are more than 4 feet behind the 3-point line.

You learn quickly what your opponent's range is when they smoke you.

Don't feel any keeper in the world would have/could have stopped that unless he'd been standing in that corner.

All the blame for that goal goes to Antonio. Just a perfect strike that belongs in the "Amazing goals" thread.

Turner would have done a better job being crouched, ready to slide his feet before jumping, but Steffen has played about 6 to 10 back passes that there is no way Turner could have handled them as cooly and would have conceded at least one corner and/or the defenders would have had the ball stolen a couple of times because they knew that couldn't send a pass back to Turner and have him handle it.

Steffen provides an extra field player that helps diffuse the press that Turner just can't at this time.

Not faulting Steffen at all. Just thinking out loud.

Well the good news is we scored a first half goal. The bad news is we aren’t winning. Hoping Gerg doesn’t outsmart himself on the subs. 

Guessing Gergg inserts Puli a little sooner today--but not much, say around the 60th minute. But who else to bring on/sub out?

Both teams scored on their first shot. Jamaica only had the one attempt the entire half. Was super impressed with our defense, actually. The Reggae Boyz can be tough to mark.
