Maybe, if I could figure out what an anitlle is.

 

Antille Lace 

[Buzzrock 14922]

Old Portuguese meaning "Before Islands"

So...water?

[Trey3216 15347]

Call Zardes what you will, but that mfer is a hustling sumbitch.  All over the damn place

Methinks it means the islands that come before a larger landmass...maybe South America.

[LonghornJudas 1098]

Can we stop the Skol chant please?

[RamjetFDO 10577]

Call Zardes what you will, but that mfer is a hustling sumbitch.  All over the damn place 

And when he needed to hustle, he slowed down with the ball stuck to his feet.

He looks tentative as if he doesn't know the plan.

[Zepol87 9188]

Concrete feet will do that.

[RamjetFDO 10577]

US looks a little out of sorts right now

[Braff Zacklin 13618]

Curacao's long passes are much better than ours. Anything we hit more than 15 yards seems to go well off course.

[Buzzrock 14922]

Curaçao brings the hustle. But I’ll take another half just like that.

[Firemans4Horn 18106]

Boyd has been hot garbage. 

[Zepol87 9188]

Boyd has been hot garbage. 

Last time I talked shit about him he picked it up. So yea he is dogshit

Worked for me with McKennie. He made a few errant passes giving up possession and before you know it, he scored the only goal of the match. 

[RamjetFDO 10577]

Curacao deserve to be here... No doubt.

Maybe they're actually Netherlands' B team!

[drt 639]

At least we actually shoot now. 

[Trey3216 15347]

Damn.   Another one just wide from CP10

[Braff Zacklin 13618]

This is disgusting.

[RamjetFDO 10577]

Just no imagination right now

[Firemans4Horn 18106]

Boyd still sucks

[drt 639]

4 guys lined up across the front just standing. Pretty sure that isn’t going to do much 

[UDontKnow 10447]

That was a bad giveaway McKennie.

[Knoxtnhorn 6055]

This.  Is.  Horrible.

[Braff Zacklin 13618]

'Bout to get stabby on some mothafuckas in white.

[Firemans4Horn 18106]

The amount of giveaways the us have towards their own goal is astronomical. Can’t believe curaçao hasn’t capitalized yet.  

[RamjetFDO 10577]

Jozy for Gyasi seems like a good move right now. Zardes has been invisible in the second half.

[LonghornJudas 1098]

I hope mr shakyhand there doesn’t perform surgeries in Curaçao.

[Pato del Muerto 52524]

Cool. The USA is at the same level as all these countries the size of Dallas county. 

[WBT 20614]

So Wondo.  Much wow.

[RamjetFDO 10577]

So Wondo.  Much wow.

Too soon.

[Buzzrock 14922]

It’s amazing how often pros at all levels crank it over the bar

[RamjetFDO 10577]

What. A. Save.

Works class.

[Buzzrock 14922]

Cool. The USA is at the same level as all these countries the size of Dallas county. 

I think it will still be a long time before American top flight athletes pick soccer first.

Damn nice save.

[UDontKnow 10447]

Bacuna Matata!

[LonghornJudas 1098]

Great save by Steffen. Props to Curaçao for their approach of not giving a damn who you are.

[Braff Zacklin 13618]

This is worse than the two home friendlies we lost earlier this month. We've been outplayed (arguably dominated) this half. By Curacao. They've pressed better, passed better, and marked better since intermission.

Also, every quality chance has come through Pulisic. Nobody else seems to have any vision or imagination. There was a couple of chances Christian probably should've passed but chose to shoot, instead, and who can blame him the way his teammates are playing?

[TexasMan 10914]

 

[Pato del Muerto 52524]

Fire the captain 

[drt 639]

Omar Gonzales coming on says so much about the state of the team. 

[WBT 20614]

Whoa, that scorpion kick volley thing was impressive

[Buzzrock 14922]

Survive and advance

[CurlyDumps 4476]

That was depressing.

Except I am worried about the match against the Reggae Boyz. USA has no rhythm.

[ztejas 43475]

Not much to say other than I want Kate Abdo to hit me with a riding crop 

[Braff Zacklin 13618]

Hats off to the boys in blue. Curacao finishes with more possession, more shots, and more shots on goal. What it didn't have was an inch-perfect pass to set up an easy score, a la Pulisic to McKennie, and that was all the difference.

Worst U.S. soccer match I've seen since the previous qualification cycle.

[Leeroy Jenkins 2409]

Meh

[RamjetFDO 10577]

Except I am worried about the match against the Reggae Boyz. USA has no rhythm.

Neither does Jamaica. Curacao was very smooth passing their way out of the back and cutting through our midfield effortlessly.

Jamaica is fast, but they're not smooth.
