2013 Gold Cup

Canada...No, he's not. It'll be a B-team for Mexico. So they may not score any goals...
So you're saying Canada might not get bummed by them then?
that bloke holding up fingers counting the keeper hold time.Classic - I always do that from the arm chair... "6 seconds....6 SECONDS... 6 SECONDS COME ON.."
oh 1-1 right on the stroke of half time. Good goal too.
Mexico lose 2-1. If the USA doesn't win this by a pretty large margin, it will be a big disappointment. The other teams in it are pretty weak.
If we play like we did against Guatemala, it should be entertaining at least. Stuart Holden was fantastic after his long layoff.

The beautiful thing is, you don't even get the chance to throw that 5-0 back at us, we're not making it to the final

True. In the FIFA ranking system, there's a chance our ranking goes down despite winning games in the Gold Cup.Playing the Gold Cup should automatically drop your FIFA ranking
Boo! Are you saying that cos you lost today?
No, because it's shite. I hate the Gold Cup (except for last one's final, when we beat the US 4-2 at their home after being 2-0 down, in the US... and perhaps the 5-0).
I actually thought we ought to be playing in the CONMEBOL just as Australia play in Asia... but we are struggling to get to the WC as it is!!! FFS. Really, the level of the CONCACAF is too low.

Playing this tournament twice per World Cup cycles is ridiculous and strictly a money grab by CONCACAF.
Mexico's play is shocking and I wouldn't be surprised if the coach is axed this week. That said, watch them scrape second in the group and knock off the US in the quarters. That would suck ass. The US should walk this tournament even though they too are fielding a B/experimental side for the most part.

Martinique's goal deserves praise. What a strike:
1:10
1:10
What a strike. Lovely stuff.
We just conceded to Belize...fml. Still up 3-1 at half, mind. Wondolowski(with a misspelled shirt) has a hat trick.
4-1. Stuart Holden scores. Not a bad comeback from long-term-long-term injury.
ended up 6-1, iirc. at least the US wasn't trying to run up the score more than that (79-1?) at the end there.
it was a nice run out for some newish (& old) blood and Belize get a goal to their name too.

After falling behind to Cuba, the US won 4-1. So that's a GD of +8. We progressed to the quarters!!!!!!!!!!
If we beat Costa Rica, probably our most difficult game, we will face Martinique or somebody.

I'm at the stadium for the Costa Rica game.
Cuba just won 4-0 to move to the Qtrs, might have just watched a match where the fix was in.
Costa Rica keeper just made a save with his hands 5 yards outside the box...yellow card. fecking hell.
The US is playing English football right now. Lump it long...repeatedly.
But the US apparently had 62% possession for the match--that isn't the English game.
Fair point. But a large part was in the second half when we could barely get it out of our own half. Still, a win over our biggest competition til the final, probably.Wondo went missing again... perhaps this will end the jizz fest by Wynalda and company about him. He's an average goal poacher at best at this level.
Great to see Shea get his first goal. Hopefully, his progress doesn't get stunted at Stoke (not holding my breath).
How the ref missed the keeper/red no idea. Perhaps there was a CR player behind him and I believe replay showed a defender back there. But the keeper denied a clear goalscoring chance with his hands outside the box.

What a borefest that was. The crowd was lively, but the match was of poor quality, neither side being able to establish a rhythm.
Donovan provided the assist but was wasteful at times, how he won man of the match is beyond me. I couldn't tell whether Beasley was playing left back or left winger, but he was our best offensive outlet. Diskerud was great in the middle, always available for a pass. Defense was solid enough.

poor enough alright but that counter attack goal was worth it, especially that pass from Donovan. I have to agree with Wynalda, the keeper nearly got it.
that keeper should have been seen red but because there was a US player (Donovan?) and a CR defender behind the keeper the ref can say he thought it wasn't a clear goalscoring chance. It looked pretty clear to me that the shot was goalbound, and not a pass to Donovan.
Donovan was MotM? He was nonexistent much of the match. I felt Mix ran the match.
Might go to the game on Sunday since it's at 4pm.
Mexico knocking on the Trinis door in a big way here. halftime now and still 0-0. If it stays like that I'd fancy T&T to sneak it.
2-0 USA. El Salvador had a great chance before the second, but the US looks like United camped outside the opposition box making chance after chance.
US looking really good. Corona looks a player.
Beasley being shit gives away a penalty. 2-1.
Eddie Johnson, with dyed blond hair, comes on. His first touch is a headed goal from a corner. 3-1.
Don't you wish your commentary was by Gus Johnson?
no. I'm going to learn Spanish just so I don't have to listen to that spastic.
I went to the Mexico - T&T match last night. Mexico should give their coach a lifetime contract.
I think Gus does a good job. Wynalda was in his element.
I see a big difference in the US team from 20 years ago, they seem to have depth now.

Fo sho. Back then they had the likes of Jean Harbor as striker depth. They had some decent defenders but the system played much more defensive under Bora (Boraball!) although it was the only way a group of amateurs and semi-pros sprinkled with a few professionals from Europe could expect to challenge.
According to Marca, Pep wants to coach the US one day.
3-1, USA. Klinsmann got sent off because he shouted at the ref for missing a blatant foul. Not sure what CONCACAF's rules are for bans.
He was shouting because the ref let a knee-high studs-up challenge on Beasley go with no call.
