USMNT 2022

So this game is only on ESPN+? 

Fuck me. 

[Napoleon 8682]

Was the USA v Grenada match ever scheduled for 6:30pm?

US Soccer y UniMás say that it starts at 9:00pm, which will save lives, but for some reason I thought that it was supposed to start at 6:30pm.

TUDN y UniMás también.

I think that UniMás is prt of most cable packages (at least DirecTV & DirecTV Stream) in Texas… because Mexicans. And other Central Americans. 

I think that TUDN is not part of basic packages.

It isn't on the basic DirecTV package. Which I guess is what my parents have. Fuck. Guess I'll throw it on my laptop.

UniMás isn’t 408? (or 409?)

On my DirectTV stream app on my phone, it doesn’t give numbers…

…but I am dog sitting for a friend and he has regular DirecTV and it’s channel 408 (or maybe 409).

Haha I'm house sitting myself. He may have a different package. It looks like there's 4 tiers and the first tier doesn't have it but the other 3 do. 

I mean... I have ESPN+.

[ztejas 43464]

I don't hate it. A lot of juice on the bench. 

[Napoleon 8682]

This was the exact lineup that I was hoping to see!

Jesús Arriola are going to go off!

Only 5 past/present FC Dallas Academy/senior team out of 10 field players in the Starting Lineup, but I will give Gregg a pass. 

Not a lot of Houston ‘36/ Austin FC representation in the starting lineup.

None of Austin's best players are Americans. Except Teen Wolfe who is on the U19 roster. 

[ztejas 43464]

3-0 Nats.

[Blotto 23525]

Im tempted to take Grenada

Fuck it, +4 @ +142 seems like a decent bet. Prove me wrong boys

I like that bet with who we are starting. 

Then again they almost just committed a pen 4 minutes in, so...

[ztejas 43464]

Wtf was that LDLT. Pass Weston the ball. 

[Napoleon 8682]

Arriola crushing it on that buildup. 

🙄

Crushing our fast break that is. 

[Ted Lange 16110]

LDLT great so far,  Nipple pure crap 

[Ted Lange 16110]

I still like Jesus F.  Hope he can get a goal, he could use some confidence 

[ztejas 43464]

Nipple did get that ball on frame. 

LDLT is quality - just didn't know what to do with that ball once he got into the box. 

[Braff Zacklin 13609]

Little known fact that, since 1986, Grenada's national team has been known as the Fighting Gunny Highways.

[UDontKnow 10447]

Grenadian goalie took out his own defender!

[Braff Zacklin 13609]

De la Torre's nickname should be Raging Bull.

Another fun fact: 1/16th of their GDP was spent on the kits they are wearing tonight. 

[ztejas 43464]

Acosta's been our best player so far. Not sure wtf that was from Reggie. 

[ztejas 43464]

That was not that keeper's ball. Bush league challenge.

“Toro” = Bull

”Torre” = Tower

…but I think that you knew that.

[ztejas 43464]

I like that attempt from Jesus.

Yes, it was mostly for the physical resemblance as @UDontKnow pointed out. The similarity between Torre and toro is just a bonus.

[ztejas 43464]

Is everyone getting their hair did in Austin? Wonder who they're going to. McKennie, Antonee and Pulisic all rocking new looks.

Jesús’ turtle posture hunchback allows him to get a low shot off quickly.

He’s got the skill, he just needs to get used to the faster pace of the game. 

I also like Arriola in general, but he’s not going forward as much as I would like. 
 

Weak final touch by Ferreira.

Part of me thinks the USMNT was not taking Grenada seriously.

He has good instincts and he's pretty good off ball. His decision making in space is poor. 

[Braff Zacklin 13609]

We've got peak 2021 Gold Cup version of Kellyn today but his dimes are going to waste.

[Coach pop a bitch 5461]

Can we haz weah at 9?

Gerg explicitly said he doesn't want to do that with Weah unless it's a "special situation."

Acosta more than anyone else maybe makes his quality evident against weaker competition. The issue is that he fades against more quality sides. 

[Coach pop a bitch 5461]

Delatorre is fun to watch 

[ztejas 43464]

Again Arriola - you have acres of space to your left. Take a touch or two inside. 

[Braff Zacklin 13609]

Calling my shot: direct kick goal for Acosta here.

[Napoleon 8682]

Acosta had better take this kick!!

 

!!🤬!!🤬!!🤬!!

And thus, why I am not a betting man.

[ztejas 43464]

There it is! Thank fuck. More of that please. 

[Braff Zacklin 13609]

Way to get off the schneid, Jesus. Nicely taken.

[Coach pop a bitch 5461]

Hell yes!!!!

Happy for him 

USA!!! 

[ztejas 43464]

Arriola playing it off the defender. Just like he drew it up. 

[ztejas 43464]

Pretty lackadaisical out there. I guess I can't blame them too much but a little more effort wouldn't hurt. 

[Napoleon 8682]

Jordan Morris looks like he has never stepped foot outside of the Pacific Northwest.

[Braff Zacklin 13609]

Grenada spent that entire half:

And to make amends for posting Steven Shithead's face in this fine subthread (NSFW):

Tillman!! Excited to see him play
