USMNT 2023

[Knoxtnhorn 5971]

Enjoy the game.  I've got a GD (not Greg Davis) outdoor game in Balch Springs tonight.  I'm going to miss the US game and probably get carjacked.

[Ted Lange 16082]

Lots of tickets under $50 on the secondary market, wonder what the crowd will be like.

I got an endzone seat on StubHub for “$22”, ($34 with taxes & fees) just yesterday.15th row. May be in a song singing section. 
 

SIDE NOTE: The “I believe that we will win.” chant is so cringe that the entire cast of “Queer Eye” would call it “too gay for public consumption.”, but it will probably rear its ugly head a few times tonight. I will just have to focus on the field.

Warms my heart to know I paid ~$40 more per ticket to sit in the same spot.

Yeah.  I made the mistake at Q2 year one of purchasing tickets with the season ticketholders early option.  I just wait and see now.

[Mittens 8253]

I don't trust wait and see, because I'm not willing to pay the big bucks if it blows up.  I always buy tickets to shows/games as soon as they come out so I know I'm good, and for the most part, it pays off.  Hoping for a large crowd and good energy tonight.

[Ted Lange 16082]

I find the I believe thing cringe now too.   It was a lot of fun in 2014 World Cup, but now ugh.  If they just did "I believe that we will win" over and over ok, but the whole lead in is too long

This map makes it look like it will be empty. But from what I can tell the lower section is probably 95% full right now, most of the light blues have just a few seats. 108, when zoomed is this:

 

I have a feeling the crowd will be great.  Granted, I'm in the upper deck along the sides and appear to have spent a touch more than what those tickets are now going for.

I've parked at Lala's and taken the bus to Q2 - that's quite easy.  Think the route is 803 and it comes every 15-20 minutes.  Bonus beer on either end is nice.

Personally, I throw my bike on the rack, drive up to Braker/Metric, park in the business lots up there and ride to the stadium.  The bike valet at the stadium is the shit - free, so a $5 tip is easy enough and I only have to walk 100yds (maybe) to my seat.

Did that for my last Austin FC game (the rain game). The bus was great

I hope so.  It is a competitive match, not some bs friendly, granted not good competition.   The crowd adds so much to the game even on TV.

 

It pisses me off to no end how bad USSF is at marketing.  

[Ted Lange 16082]

Considering our injuries at winger this week, am I the only one who think Dest could be an option?  Maybe its just all the highlight videos he creates and posts of himself, that I have watched.   

[Ted Lange 16082]

GGG Let this man cook 

 

 

 

 

 

[shnsajax 3591]

[Captain Ron 12862]

 

LFG!!!

[LonghornSean 3989]

Bout to catch the 803 bus. See y’all at Q2.

[joe dirt 285]

i’m not mad about this. 

 

[Ted Lange 16082]

Big opportunity for Parades and Tillman 

[Ted Lange 16082]

Get us the W all in attendance.  Better see y’all doing the Dest dance after every goal. 

[Napoleon 8659]

The game is supposed to start in 3 minutes.

Don’t tell anyone, but this is a great stadium.

Assume you meant 30 minutes

[Ted Lange 16082]

Kickoff time set for 8:07.  FYI 

[LonghornSean 3989]

Traffic north of 183 is much worse than it usually is for AFC games. Gonna be a late arriving crowd including me and more than a dozen fans on my bus.

I thought 7:30pm meant 7:30, so I parked where my local Austin FC ticket holder told me and hurried to the stadium. 
ROOKIE MISTAKE 

Folarin Balogun (L) & Weston McKennie (R)

[Captain Ron 12862]

LETS FUCKING GO!!!

 

[Ted Lange 16082]

So TV saying we are playing a 4222 with Paredes up top with Flo.  WUT

If we play 2 up top I’d love to see Flo and Pepe 

[Ted Lange 16082]

Crowd looks and sounds great. 

[Captain Ron 12862]

LETS FUCKING GO!!!

 

[Ted Lange 16082]

Currently not going. 

[Ted Lange 16082]

 

[Braff Zacklin 13552]

I mean, you can't really argue that second yellow. They always do, but it's a desperately pointless and futile act. That was obvious af.

[Jerry Callo 8694]

Maybe the US can finally get a goal

[Napoleon 8659]

Reyna shot right here. 

 

We can’t get shit. 

[shnsajax 3591]

Musah so close. Penalty coming soon.

[Brisketexan 105043]

Musah so close. Penalty coming soon.

Good call. Happened right in front of us. Wasn’t over the top, but it’s a penalty.

[Braff Zacklin 13552]

I don't necessarily disagree with the calls, but our best plays tonight have been the ref's whistles.

[Brisketexan 105043]

Good call. Happened right in front of us. Wasn’t over the top, but it’s a penalty.

Wow. Surprising,

[ztejas 43411]

I'm going to drive to Q2 and kick Berhalter in the fucking dick if he doesn't put Brenden Aaronson in the game. 

[shnsajax 3591]

Wow. Surprising,

Replay wasn’t very convincing.

[ztejas 43411]

Tillman and Paredes were both awful. The Aaronson/Pepi change should have happened at 45. Also Ferreira should be on the roster. Also Aaronson should have started.

Fucking whatever - please find two goals here.

Aaronson is in, but would you go kick Gergg in the dick, anyway?

[shnsajax 3591]

Dest hit the absolute piss out of that one.

[Captain Ron 12862]

We’ve been up a man how long?!?!?

 

 

FIRE FUCKING GREGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHGGGGGHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!

[RamjetFDO 10575]

[ztejas 43411]

Need another. 1-0 is pathetic. 

[ztejas 43411]

Damn I missed Jedi last window. Easy MOTM.

Go get another one. 

[RamjetFDO 10575]

Jedi!

[ztejas 43411]

Alright that was filthy.

Whew. 

Who's ready for Copa?
