The 2021 Gold Cup

[Hagbard Celine 10,852]

after the instant goal, nothing

exactly as forecast

and dike with zero supply

why couldn't we have had the same starters

[Knoxtnhorn 5,971]

Vines seems kind of good.

That one seemed like a Zardes accident goal waiting to happen.   But wasn’t to be this time.  

[Knoxtnhorn 5,971]

Lulz Lletget.

Setup by his brilliant first touch that went like 20 feet in the air. 

[Hagbard Celine 10,852]

lletget has passed the ball backwards on his last 6 touches

canada can simply unload their right side because lletget absoultely will not try to run at anyone or attempt to give and go

zero threat

actually threat measured in negative numbers

[Trey3216 15,345]

Wtf are we doing 

[trza-hawk 269]

This kind of performance against a team like Canada is just awful.

[Knoxtnhorn 5,971]

Roldan and Yeuill.  That'll fix things.  Lol.

[AUS-97HORN 11,757]

we dont seem to want to fucking defend.

[Hagbard Celine 10,852]

FINALLY someone says "FUCK THIS" and decides to go

[Knoxtnhorn 5,971]

Lletget 3 back passes in 15 secs.  Hoppe takes on half of Canada and earns a kick.

[Trey3216 15,345]

I think Dike just dislocated his shoulder falling down.   Hopefully he didn’t break his collarbone.  

[Chips O'Toole 1,322]

Did Dike just hurt his shoulder trying to draw a foul for a face rape?

[trza-hawk 269]

I am keeping the game on while I do stuff around the house.

[AUS-97HORN 11,757]

Dike is legit hurt... that arm is barely moving.

Yeah, if he did that’s on him and kind of embarrassing from the angle I saw.

[Hagbard Celine 10,852]

yueill with the attempted assist

[Knoxtnhorn 5,971]

Roldan has had 3 turnovers in 3 touches in about 45 secs.

[Hagbard Celine 10,852]

motm: Hoppe, for saying fuck this shit

[AUS-97HORN 11,757]

that may be one of the worst 1-0 wins ive ever seen.    after about 25 mins we stopped attacking and went on shitty defense for basically 65 mins.

And got treated like a little bitch and not standing his ground.

Today’s game tells me that everyone’s greatest fear is gonna happen - Beerholder is going to waste this generation of players while he’s “coaching.”

[RamjetFDO 10,575]

That was 20 seconds of awesome and almost 99 minutes of "welp".

[Scary Stranger 1,714]

I said this almost word for word.

I was sayin the same. 
hes ugly as fuck but he got game 

[Knoxtnhorn 5,971]

I've got a lot to bitch about, but it's apparent I've bitched enough on this thread.  I'll just say this, though...

1) We had ZERO shots on goal and ONE corner after the 20th second.  That would piss me off against, say, Italy.  Against Canada, that's disgusting.

2) Berhalter let the midfield get run over for 60 mins, then, used all of our subs for the final 20 mins.  That left Dike playing with a possible broken collar bone because the US had no more subs.  

3) Speaking of subs.  We had to run the game out after bunkering for God knows how long.  What's Berhalter's great plan to overcome his other great game management?  Throwing out a midfield of Lletget, Yeull, and Roldan (with Hoppe who did well).  And I thought Charlie Strong was bad.

That has to be the worst win I’ve ever seen.

I hear you, but I’ve seen some crap wins through the years. 

[Captain Ron 12,872]

I’m trying to think of a Mack Brown win that was the equivalent of that game.

Agree, but even the T&T disaster, we had 61% possession and 15 shots.

I don’t understand how a Zardes / Dike pairing is supposed to work.

They must have looked at this in practice, but it seems like an obvious disaster in my opinion.

This turned out to be spot on.

2009 Big 12 Champ game?  13-12

 

only other one close would be the 1999 Rice game  18-13

Yeah I tuned in and was surprised by the sea of blue. 

[Hagbard Celine 10,852]

based on the how the first half ended, and with a LATIN crowd against them IN THE US, we could see a rip in spacetime as La Tri go full aggy

Andy Swift was the 2nd GM of the Dallas Burn and was and may still be a concacaf match official.

Peter Welpton was a founding member of the Inferno in 1996 and hosted the first dedicated soccer radio hour in Dallas in the late 90s.  Pete was I believe the producer for Kidd Kraddick for 2 decades.

[Hagbard Celine 10,852]

if salvador manage a goal the cotton bowl might implode

[Jive Turkey 12,594]

i listen to Peter and Andy on The Kick Around every Saturday on the Ticket.  good stuff.

U.S. would struggle with El Salvador if we meet in the semis.

[Hagbard Celine 10,852]

if they ever have call-ins, ask andy about the 8 months he spent at SUM in manhattan

[Zepol87 9,185]

Amazing atmosphere tonight at the cotton bowl. Security was a joke also lol 

 

[Zepol87 9,185]
