The 2021 Gold Cup

[Zepol87 9185]

Today the bichos chapter from Houston and LA got to town ahead of the game at the cotton bowl. Lots more chanting and instruments than the last game

i'm recording the mexiguat match to see if concalaugh enforces the puto-signalling in an all-latin match at the cotton bowl where security will be a joke and the beer will flow freely

[Zepol87 9185]

Didn't even know it was supposed to rain today. Making shit run even later https://twitter.com/Leoramrz92/status/1415488377164533764?s=19

Game is on. The soccer pitch at the Cotton Bowl looks perfect. 

[Zepol87 9185]

Great finish.

Hoping that El Salvador beats Mexico and T&T throttles Guate so Mexico gets sent packing.

I am hoping for this as well, but…

Something that could possibly happen is that El Salvador could hold México to a 0-0 draw. 
 

What happens after that is… 🤷‍♂️

I hate these types of games.  I feel really bad for Haiti.

[ztejas 43414]

I like KC's stadium. Very old school.

That and prob worrying about their families. 

I grew up super poor and had so much guilt when I got to UT and was able to eat Jester cafeteria food 20 meals a week and Gumby's pizza on Sun nights.  I felt bad for my parents and 2 younger brothers eating beans and rice for most meals.  I guess I'm thinking some of the players may have the same circumstances.

Yeah. Almost surprised they didn't pull out of the tournament. Maybe it's a welcome distraction for some Haiti fans. 

[ztejas 43414]

Pretty nervy first half for Canada though. Haiti has had some decent looks. 

[Zepol87 9185]

Yea, Haiti just needs to finish

[InkaUtexas 25875]

Haiti calling in all the Voodoo. They score. Plus that was a nice take down. 

 

[InkaUtexas 25875]

Dammit. I want Haiti to take this game. 

[Ted Lange 16084]

This is about as good as we could’ve expected.

Oh so now Hoppe starts. 

[Ted Lange 16084]

Guessing 3-5-2
Zimmerman Sands Robinson

shaq and bello as wingbacks 

roldan Busio EW

Hoppe DIKE

[Ted Lange 16084]

This Canadian game has been pretty fun the last 20.  

[InkaUtexas 25875]

Damn. Sucks to be Haiti. 

[Braff Zacklin 13556]

Don't know much (anything) about Bello--can anyone clue me in?

And knew we'd see Roldan. Oh, well. Nice to see Busio, Dike and Hoppe get starts, though. Maybe we won't suck tonight.

[Ted Lange 16084]

Plays LB for Atlanta, young kid. Should’ve started in the Olympic qualifiers but ATL wouldn’t release him.  Solid prospect.  

[A-Tex Devil 2446]

Canadian Homie with the weird facial hair just ducked the US with that yellow.  Chickenshit.

Busio needs to show out so he can 

make the qualifying rosters 

[Ted Lange 16084]

 

also, FS1 is saying we are going with a 3-4-3.  

[Ted Lange 16084]

 

[Ted Lange 16084]

He is such a troll.

Still better than Gergg's top six, which would all be Tim Ream.

[LurkingHorn 1066]

Dike about to go off tonight. 

[drt 638]

I almost feel bad for Martinique. Almost. 

[Hagbard Celine 10852]

dike needs supply to show

[Ted Lange 16084]

I love having Busio on free kicks, kid has it.  

[shnsajax 3591]

Dike about to go off tonight. 

If Hoppe had a left foot he would already have one.

[kingkoopa6 8347]

DIIIIIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hagbard Celine 10852]

and there it is

[RamjetFDO 10575]

Deeeeeeee-kaaaaaaaaay!

[Braff Zacklin 13556]

[drt 638]

Turf looks like shit. Ball is bouncing all over the place. 
 

annnnnnnf goal

[Braff Zacklin 13556]

That was a perfect fucking header, gentleman. And the cross 'tweren't too bad, either.

[Chips O'Toole 1322]

Martinique looks, um, a little less athletic than this new lineup. 

[kingkoopa6 8347]

DIIKKKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE222

[RamjetFDO 10575]

Well that was interesting

Dike is too much man for Martinique.

I'll be super impressed if Hoppe can play a full 90 at this work rate.

And more credit to y'all for scouting Busio. One of y'all was bragging on his free kicks last week, and another (or maybe the same guy) was insisting he should get capped ASAP.

What a pleasant surprise! He's calm on the ball and usually looks to turn and advance rather than settle for a back pass.

[ztejas 43414]

It's crazy how much better we look up front without Zardes on the pitch. 

[drt 638]

Defense has nice passing range thus far too. 

[ztejas 43414]

Busio just looks like a soccer player.

[Braff Zacklin 13556]

OK, shoot Williamson. Played well until then but that was nigh unforgivable.

Don't be stupid, young man. Get the ball off your feet.
