"Here's Pepi" - no - that's Pulisic 😅

 

And that's a bush league no call on CP.

@Ted Lange they're definitely pressing btw. This isn't 9 behind the ball. 

Definitely.   

[TexasMan 10914]

That's one way to get a corner

Not an "I told you so" btw. I was curious myself as to what they would do. My thinking was just that, bunch of young guys, result doesn't matter, well run program, I'd just let em play and see what happens. It's of course very CONCACAFy to go with the "fuck you US you aren't winning" strategy but I sort of figured CR is a little better than that. 

And my holy fuck quit shooting from outside the box Acosta. You aren't on this team to do your best Kevin De Bruyne impression.

Clint's goal yes, but the moment I felt that football truly, TRULY arrived in the states was 90 minutes later with Brooks' goal. I still watch those reaction videos from time to time. Americans got focused on football and there's no turning back. Couva was a blip that needed to happen to get our shit strait (the hiring of GERGG aside)

That Brooks goal was fucking magic.  Buddies sitting with me at the bar that never watch soccer going absolutely bonkers.   Was something to behold.  

[ztejas 43475]

I hope that the "iS tHe Us beTTeR WitHouT MCkEnniE?" dickhead is watching this game. 

Reyna would also be helping a lot right now. I'd like to see him on at half.

Weah sure is pretty with the ball.

Didn’t take it that way.   It makes sense to not play deep, but they just aren’t drilled in doing that.  And the results are the same.  35% possession and the US has 5 shots on goal to 1

Easy 1st half MOTM for me. Not sure he's put a foot wrong.

Nah. Keylor 

[Ted Lange 16110]

Ok, we aren’t giving up 6 goals in a half.  Get Gio and LDLT on and win this. 

[Napoleon 8689]

I missed the first 30 minutes, because I thought that the game started at 8:30pm. 

That ref definitely says “SORE-y” and “washroom” several times a day, eh?.

I had Jedi.   

[dieucla98 2942]

Kate really makes halftime an enjoyable experience.

Kate said she'd eat a whole box of popsicles in a bikini if Reyna scores.

Liked Miles too. 

[Firemans4Horn 18106]

Not sure how the Tico got hurt on that play. 

[TexasMan 10914]

God damn you Navas

[kingkoopa6 8369]

Keep beast 

[ztejas 43475]

Pulisic's service tonight has been fucking awesome. 

[RamjetFDO 10577]

Navas continues to be quality for the Ticos.

Yeah kid's got some potential. Hope he gets a fair shake in Europe. 

[RamjetFDO 10577]

Welp

[Captain Ron 12883]

DAMN

[kingkoopa6 8369]

Dang 

[TexasMan 10914]

Well shit. Just don't let 5 more in 

[Firemans4Horn 18106]

Damn, that was a great corner. 

[ztejas 43475]

Go answer.

Not impressed with Steffen there.

[kingkoopa6 8369]

Lol that ball hit stef on that head. That’s funny 

[RamjetFDO 10577]

The first time Zimmerman isn't able to clear a ball from the air...

Nope, slow and late as fuck on that.

[UDontKnow 10447]

Yeah Walker couldn't head the ball in the air. But what was Antonee doing there? Marking nobody.

[Firemans4Horn 18106]

Zimmerman is good in the air. Looked like Erick Dampier on that one though. Steffen looked like Han Solo in Carbonite.

Turner is our obvious #1. Idgaf who has better feet. 

Granted Zack's had a nice window, just a reminder there that we're missing our starting keeper. 

[TexasMan 10914]

Ah hell yea Reyna 

[Captain Ron 12883]

[ztejas 43475]

Too many forced shots tonight. Move the ball. They're outclassed on paper - prove why. 

[Captain Ron 12883]

Uh oh.

[RamjetFDO 10577]

Welp x2

[kingkoopa6 8369]

Wackkkkkk

[Firemans4Horn 18106]

Steffen looks like full blown asshole this half. 

[SimonBolivar 10958]

Right, right. Gio, go shut this down.

[Surly Bevo 25048]

Let's get 1 back and shut this shit down

Berhalter should have started Horvath this game. No excuse not to give him burn. What does Horvath have to do to get time when the other goalkeepers are less than 100%? Terrible.

[TexasMan 10914]

Officially pre-nervous 

[ztejas 43475]

Get Steffen off the fucking pitch. Dear God.

[Droopy 2626]

Fuck! 2-0, Costa Rica

[Braff Zacklin 13618]

Eh. Maybe not fair, but Steffen is no Navas.
