I missed it, I guess Johnny got injured?

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?

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…

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

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

When did Jamaica turn into bigger cocksuckers than Mexico?

Expand  

 

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?

Expand  

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.

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.

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

Expand  

Maybe. I think we bag 2 or 3 on a better pitch.

woitalla only gave turner a 6 and for me he was motm

he has got to get to a club where he is the clear #1

Agree a 6 is crazy. He put in an 8 shift. Unless you blame him for the pen but, you know, he did save it. 

Thought he, CP and McKenzie were our best players.

Between Aguirre & Iron Mike Tyson, last night’s theme was “Old Dude’s Getting Bloodied”.

Kind of a downer for Gen X and older.

I’m not sure why other federations just do not get this. If you treat the fans like animals and stick them behind cages, don’t be shocked when they act like animals.

Oh please. They're going to act how they act regardless.
