Soccer: Copa America Centenario Final Match (Who U Got?)
- Thread starter playahaitian
- Start date
That was a valid straight red. In fact red cards are given for lesser
infractions than that. We support Jamaica, but the the Jamaican
players stepped on the ship of the Venezuelan with his studs. That
is a straight red card; you can break some one's leg like that.
I guess the rumor of the US coach job depending on this tournament may be true...
You mean the same Jermaine Jones that starts regularly in the Bundesliga or the L'Arse player who can't get a kick... C'mon bro
Zardes need to get the finish better or he will be a Jozy all over again. At least Wood can finish..
Jones isn't in Germany. He plays in Colorado.
I'd take Joel Campbell with one leg over sorry ass Jermaine Jones. I don't give two shits if he single handedly won the US the World Cup. Never a ball player in my eyes. Just a brute that can throw his muscle around. I wanna see him do shit like this against quality competition consistently. Not disappear against the heavyweights.
"I do track with whack rappers to make me look better."
His life mantra I suppose.
Joel gets a sniff in England and scores. Arsenals bench also includes our youth boy Zelalem. Don't sleep on em.
I know right. Costa Rica is hardly a tough opponent.
Exactly. I'm not trying to be Debbie downer here at all. I'm happy the US are up, but it was never any question about this match, no dis to Costa Rica.
This is a team were supposed to handle.
Watch the tables revert back against Paraguay... Hope not, but to quote Eddie Murphy...
"You can smell it."
That man looks like he's the one about to lose his job tonight.Costa Rica coach lookin like he been crying all match
That man looks like he's the one about to lose his job tonight.

young dudes or the old cac's or a healthy mixture?

they need some black players..
them dudes looked horrible out there...
If they don't stop showing the Costa Rican managers face ..
That shit got me roooollin
My man had a rough night
I was about to say, I'm excited by the youth. Yeddy (Deandre Yedlin) in particular. He plays with his brain first and physical second which is how you do it. He knows when to bomb forward, when to chill and when to defend and he's good at it all. Straight baller and grown in the US. Love that.
Very promising future for that young man.
As for tonight, I'd persoanlly lean towards a healthy mixture of pups and vets, but I think the opponent played a larger part in it. Stuart Holden touched on it in during commentary that if the US put in this performance against Paraguay, then we have something here.
All in all, Klinsmann got the selections right tonight.
I've been on the youth support group forever. I'd rather us lose with youth than keep losing with old ass balding ass dudes who never did shit of note in a U.S. uniform. It just makes no sense to hang on to a guard that hasn't done shit like they're that Italy team that won the world cup and then got old hella fast overnight. I can understand them holding on like ok they proved they could do it let's see if they can do it again. These old dudes never did it. we need to move on imo.
And start including the poor who play like their lives depend on it. Not privileged kids who do it for fun like we have been doing forever in this country and this country only
Make no mistake, our youth in the hoods of this country are destined for greatness. They ball outside the manicured pitches and with next to nothing but the game going for them but the game. Most of them simply need a chance. A chance which to his credit, Klinsmann has given many of them and will continue to do so when he becomes technical director.
Not a Galaxy fan, but a HUGE fan of Gyassi Zardes. Just seems like a humble kid who was given a chance and working hard at a dream.
Zardes is young and imo has a touch of Jozy in him. Wood is mixed with Poly and Japanese so does that count? Finally a almost world class finisher for the USA. Yeddy is a Spurs man ( My EPL Team) and has learned alot on loan at Sunderland. Hard to find a place at Spurs behind walker and Tripper. Columbia doing what they do against Paraguay but going forward Columbia's defending is not so much.
Question, why don't we utilize shorter faster players. Watching the Chile/Argentina game yesterday I noticed alot of the attacking players on both squads looked short (5'7" to 5'9").
I think America is too focused on big athletic players. I know it works in all the other major sports (bigger, stronger, faster), but I wonder why the U.S. soccer federation doesn't emulate some of the South American organizations' ways of recruiting top talent.

You hit the nail on the head with the latter statement. Simple Americans think that bigger, faster, stronger equates to winning in football.
Negative.
If so, Haiti wouldn't be getting cleaned up right now.
