USMNT 2024

Turner makes up!!

[VinyVango 677]

Looks like they’re playing in a concrete underpass or drainage ditch with some cheap green turf rolled into it

[Napoleon 8607]

MUSAH is not easily knocked off the ball.

[Ted Lange 16052]

I missed it, I guess Johnny got injured?

[Hagbard Celine 10763]

yes

He may have pulled his pão de quiejo. 
 

EDIT: 

Tessman kicks a ball to the moon and looked like he hit it into the ground first, but the bozo providing color commentary then says that he looked “fluid & clean.”

WTF?

they are calling the game remote

no turner personnel traveled at all

[RamjetFDO 10554]

Handbags!

[Captain Ron 12805]

We need to be careful. There is no reason we should be baited into anything here. 

[Captain Ron 12805]

What a miss! That should have tied it.

Like seeing the team finally stand up for Pulisic 

[Knoxtnhorn 5936]

When did Jamaica turn into bigger cocksuckers than Mexico?

[Ted Lange 16052]

This is a much more spirited effort from the USMNT than we have seen in a good while. 

[Napoleon 8607]

I fell asleep and missed halftime and the first 17 minutes of the 2nd half. Shocking considering how exciting this has been. 

If you want to see real exciting soccer, I present to you…

 

[RamjetFDO 10554]

The pizza slices on the fat guy kits are awesome.

[Hagbard Celine 10763]

i really would like to get that 2nd goal just to prove the fucking point

That's an insult to concrete underpasses and drainage ditches.

You know this is what leads to this:

When we played soft GGG ball, the MO for teams was to beat the shit out of our players, especially CP10, because we weren't going to stand up for our players. In this confederation you can't do that. You need some Marty McSorley types out there willing to throw down.

Poch wants more of this

Is it just me or is this field oddly narrow?

I think it's how low the stands are and how that angle makes the field look - because this is a full size 105 x 68 field. 

 

Add in how wide the sides are (track + the velodrome).

I guess. I'm just looking at the space between the penalty area and the sideline. Seems smallish.

[LurkingHorn 1049]

Have to say, this was not pretty, even for scary for a few minutes, but we absolutely clamped them down the last 20 minutes. 

[Hagbard Celine 10763]

welp, kind of boring but a fair omen

[Knoxtnhorn 5936]

Not going to bitch considering the win and we played on a Chia Pet field.

[Captain Ron 12805]

 

HEY JAMAICA, you play soccer on a worse field than ours!!!

[Zepol87 9171]

Yay a W… always cool to see the field trash talk never leaves. Soft ass shit 

[LurkingHorn 1049]

Stolen from big soccer:

We have 4 away wins in the last 11 years and 2 of those were against Grenada and St. Vincent and The Grenadines.

That's a great win! Even if it wasn't pretty, a win was never gonna be

 

Is this actually true?

you can look it up - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_men's_national_soccer_team_results

My gut says no, because I have 2 away wins for 2021 below. But I could be wrong.

 

The biggest issue is that in the GGG era mainly, we prioritized home games over getting better, so our schedule looks a lot like this:

 

 

22 games, 7 not on US Soil and only 4 of those were competitive games.

That stat might have been for competitive matches.

I was thinking it looked like they were running in sand that was sprayed with green dye and with an under inflated ball. Still, a win is a win.

[Ted Lange 16052]

I feel like the field conditions actually favored the US.   Feels like it totally took away the quick counter.
