The 2021 Gold Cup

The Haitian who just took the shot on goal has tits.

Is he professional?

I'm thinking my man boobs would look pretty good in one of those Haitian kits.

I don't think that jersey is doing him any favors.

[ztejas 42,745]

That was a great chance. 

[ztejas 42,745]

Shaq Moore

[Braff Zacklin 13,284]

Mix of good and bad from Moore. Overall, there's some promise of "serviceable depth." Good example why I enjoy seeing our second- and third-stringers in tournaments like this.

Fucked up looking Zardes in that fucked up kit...

 

[ztejas 42,745]

Hey Lewis maybe try doing something with the ball?

[ztejas 42,745]

Was that too far in front for Zardes or did he just whiff on a chance? Why do I feel like the latter is more likely?

And makes a dumbass foul right outside the box. Please quit capping this guy.

Yeah, that was infuriating. I'm trying to be casual about this, but seeing a guy just sit with the ball until dispossessed despite multiple options is ... frustrating.

[JNip 131]

Wait WTF… just saw  USA’s lineup, where are the better players? Saving them for the olympics? Lol. Nuh seriously, what’s going on?

A world-class right-footed striker gets his left foot on it and redirects for a goal.

MLS-grade nets you an off-balance stab that whiffs badly.

Someone that won’t swing the ball 90 degrees the wrong way like Conor would this evening.

They're in reserve until Chucky's healthy.

The European players were never going to be a part of the Gold Cup.  They're getting a rest cause European football and all.

[Knoxtnhorn 5,906]

This lineup + these tactics are infuriating.

When you run a 4-3-3 against an inferior opponent w/ 70% of the possession, you should hear the names "Lletget", "Yuell", and "Acosta" over and over and over.  As it stands, they're almost completely anonymous.  And, as usual, Zardes is just running around randomly like my 6 year-old in an AYSO game.

Shaq seems to be a stud.

Classic! Let’s make fun of a terrible injury. What’s next? Let’s laugh at Erikssen.

So... is this Shaq guy actually a back? He seems more like a winger to me... 

Color guy wondering the same thing 😂

He probably has a better chance to make the national team at right wing. We’re stacked at right back. Dest, Yedlin, Reggie Cannon, Bryan Reynolds. 

[Knoxtnhorn 5,906]

Oh.  And FFFFFFFF you Heineken.  Your beer already tasted like ass.  Your ad is worse.

What's classic is you making a tacky, Farva-esque joke, getting some shit in return, and then nailing yourself to a fucking cross cuz you're a pussy who can't take it.

[Knoxtnhorn 5,906]

7 shots for the US; 6 for Haiti.

One thing is making fun of USA for not making the olympics, another is to laugh at a terrible injury. Whatever man.
 

All good man, enjoy cheering against Mexico in the male soccer part of the olympics because that’s all that you have going for yourself.

I'm not laughing at Chucky's injury. I'm laughing at your juvenile ass. You made a tacky comment and I responded in kind.

What I wrote is factually correct--Hirving is out at least 4-6 weeks; our Euro youngsters are resting until the September WCQ. So, yeah, they won't see the pitch for the US until Chucky is healthy.

Well that and our younger players kicking your ass in the last game...

[ztejas 42,745]

Zardes not even running hard. So sick of watching this dude. 

[Knoxtnhorn 5,906]

So same amount of shots as Haiti now.  Well done coach.

[ztejas 42,745]

We're going to concede something stupid. I can almost guarantee it. Need 2 on the board. 

[RamjetFDO 10,543]

Could be worse.

Could be Jozy.

[Braff Zacklin 13,284]

Not sure the US back line would look good with the first teamers in.

As much talent and depth that is emerging in midfield and forward, we seem to be in a bit of an abyss defensively.

[ztejas 42,745]

And yet Hoppe sits on the bench... 

[Knoxtnhorn 5,906]

I read where Lewis really isn't even a starter for his MLS team.  I can kind of see why.

I'm not sure Jozy is physically capable of running hard. 

[WBT 20,132]

How much did Qatar pay to get invited to this?  Seems to be Qatar Airways shit everywhere.  Obviously it's a drop in the bucket compared to what they paid for the World Cup.

[Braff Zacklin 13,284]

Zardes there ... lol

That was on a platter for him.

[Knoxtnhorn 5,906]

54th min.  Lletget gets the ball on a breakaway.  The ball gets caught under his feet TWICE allowing 3 Haitians to catch up to him in less than 20 yards.

But, but, but.... there was a video fluff piece earlier on him....

[Braff Zacklin 13,284]

Little known fact: Haiti's Ade is best known for his role as Tyrone the Getaway Driver in Snatch. That movie is now 21 years old. I'd say he's aged well.

3 shots on goal to 2 with 64% possession.

Geez.  Is there not a manlier way to put a heart monitor on a soccer player?

Dike is huge.
