|
This field is garbage*
Posted by UIHuskie
|
Used to be that we had to go to a cricket ground in Trinidad to get a field this shitty.
Posted by ATL
|
Really beaten up*
Posted by VIV
|
Why is it so bad? Unusually dry and warm?*
Posted by Sounder
|
All the goals the STL city opponents have been scoring. *
Posted by VIV
|
That bounce there. Looks so bad*
Posted by CoronaTheirAss
|
We’ve gotten too complacent with the lead *
Posted by ATL
|
So... Diego Luna... maybe should've been on the Olympic team?
Posted by uofi1998
|
Trump is definitely going to deport that guy
Posted by Sounder
|
Seems*
Posted by OWWDig
|
Does it sound as pro Guate on TV as it does live?*
Posted by VIV
|
Sounds quiet so maybe?*
Posted by ATL
|
It’s not quiet. At all. Super loud pretty much constantly. Great atmosphere *
Posted by VIV
|
Then my mix is effed up. I hear the crowd, but it's not piped in as much as I guess it might be
Posted by ATL
|
FS1 must have it highly filtered bc it’s soft on tv*
Posted by OWWDig
|
It’s loud as shit here. *
Posted by VIV
|
Also not too impressed with Berhalter, the set piece specialist*
Posted by CoronaTheirAss
|
Seriously. Find the tall guy. Their CBs are my size. *
Posted by VIV
|
Guess I shouldn’t have bet on Guatemala*
Posted by timmer
|
What a shot by Luna. *
Posted by harb
|
Fantastic!*
Posted by OWWDig
|
Wow Luna. Have a game*
Posted by CoronaTheirAss
|
LUNA IS ON FIRE*
Posted by VIV
|
At the gold cup match. This is a Guatemala home game.
Posted by VIV
|
Full moon in the Lou!*
Posted by ATL
|
I went to a good cup final in LA against Mexico. It was more like 90/10.
Posted by CoronaTheirAss
|
Nice goal on the rebound. *
Posted by harb
|
Whoooo*
Posted by OWWDig
|
lol I thought I just heard 90% on Fox sports*
Posted by ATL
|
Not a shock. Enjoy!*
Posted by OWWDig
|
Ha! Nice shot of the blonde chick vaping on the opening*
Posted by OWWDig
|
It is still STL. *
Posted by VIV
|
You’d think the director would cut away immediately, but she was the tv shot for a good many seconds
Posted by OWWDig
|
Maybe he liked her *
Posted by ATL
|
Let’s go America! Beat *checks notes* Guatemala!*
Posted by ATL
|
I know this tournament is poorly run...but the concept of Dortmund - Monterrey
Posted by assassin
|
Yeah agreed - much better than the Confederations Cup which was just a watered down
Posted by CoronaTheirAss
|
IDK, 2009 CC was pretty damn awesome from a US perspective…
Posted by uofi1998
|
Ha yes but that was very US specific*
Posted by CoronaTheirAss
|
If they get less greedy and have less teams, it will succeed long term. Ideally they do it every...

Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
No way can they do this every year. There’s already way too many games for these players.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
I think they have the number of teams right. 32 is a good number and you want to have
Posted by CoronaTheirAss
|
Might be better to do it the year after the WC instead of the year before.
Posted by uofi1998
|
I think part of the rationale is to have something as preparation for the country
Posted by CoronaTheirAss
|
Makes sense *
Posted by uofi1998
|
Correct.*
Posted by ATL
|
Co*
Posted by OWWDig
|
I feel like they will learn from the mistakes and make it better
Posted by Sounder
|
while scoreless 50 min in, Real Madrid v Juve has been back and forth and wild*
Posted by assassin
|
hey just spoke a goal into existence*
Posted by assassin
|
Man City out*
Posted by reggiedunlop
|
It is going to be interesting to see the best clubs in the world next year with 0 rest.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Hoping to see PSG win it all given they'll have like one week of training in advance of the European
Posted by ATL
|
When I first heard about this, I assumed these were B or C teams being sent over
Posted by OB25
|
Good money, especialy if you go far in the knockout rounds
Posted by dk
|
the club world cup is good, actually*
Posted by assassin
|
that's a ridiculous header going away from goal*
Posted by assassin
|
LOL that wasn’t even called a foul*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
So annoying that Chelsea is playing July 4th at 8pm*
Posted by reggiedunlop
|
Second half of Man City-Al Hilal is bananas *
Posted by AintHatin
|
the cameras make it feel like it's at the Alamodome or something
Posted by assassin
|
and why in the world is Man City dressed like they're Egypt?*
Posted by assassin
|
Going to see PSG v Bayern ==========>
Posted by ATL
|
Whoa, Leverkusen buying Malik Tillman for ~$40MM*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
They were taking about it on Caught Offside. See him as a Wirtz replacement. Crazy.*
Posted by ATL
|
Lazio signs Mussolini
Posted by ATL
|
That was entertaining *
Posted by QcIlliniFan
|
Also is it just me or did Navas dive insanely early on that last PK?*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Someone needs to explain this to me. Is the gold cup just not a big deal at all?
Posted by illini21
|
I always love it. But yeah, usually a B or C team playing and they have
Posted by CoronaTheirAss
|
Are the “A” teams usually playing Copa America?*
Posted by illini21
|
Copa America is the Gold Cup but for South America.
Posted by assassin
|
The every 2 years thing needs to stop*
Posted by CoronaTheirAss
|
It’s a watered down Continental championship. We’re using it as an audition
Posted by assassin
|
Who are these US players?*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
oooo
Posted by Blazer
|
Yeah I'm with ya*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Navas v Freese not what you’re lookin for. *
Posted by assassin
|
Freese gonna get laid*
Posted by OWWDig
|
Freese looks damn good at reading shooters. At least he can do that. *
Posted by uofi1998
|
Certainly has the build as well *
Posted by assassin
|
Or, maybe it is. *
Posted by assassin
|
Death, taxes, Pochettino sitting on his subs.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Terrible defending and goalkeeping*
Posted by UIHuskie
|
Tillman stepped to mark the scorer but then stopped and left the guy wide open
Posted by OWWDig
|
Tillman’s a baller*
Posted by AintHatin
|
That was good. *
Posted by assassin
|
Arf arf *
Posted by OWWDig
|
That's a red and penalty*
Posted by UIHuskie
|
Can’t believe it wasn’t a straight red *
Posted by OWWDig
|
lol. Of course.*
Posted by LovetheChief
|
I’ll take a deflection.*
Posted by LovetheChief
|
I remember a time that I thought the USMNT might have a shot at being relevant internationally.
Posted by LovetheChief
|
I don’t get the angst about our C team*
Posted by Blazer
|
Only thing for me is that we so rarely see the A team, hard to tell what we really have.*
Posted by OWWDig
|
Yeah, I’m not saying there are no questions about next year
Posted by Blazer
|
Agree on that but I wouldn’t mind the As getting experience together *
Posted by OWWDig
|
I guess.*
Posted by LovetheChief
|
Arfsten is consistently overmatched*
Posted by AintHatin
|
Two huge mistakes in a matter of 30 seconds that lead to a completely avoidable goal *
Posted by ATL
|
He’s been decent offensively *
Posted by OWWDig
|
Guatemala taking Canada to PKs in the Gold Cup Quarters. *
Posted by OWWDig
|
I’ll say one thing, Vanda pharmaceuticals really likes anime*
Posted by ATL
|
LOL one of the Miami players nearly has two OGs in the match
Posted by ATL
|
Woof*
Posted by OWWDig
|
What a goal *
Posted by ATL
|
Nicely run combined with lazy marking *
Posted by OWWDig
|
“A big crowd inside this stadium”
Posted by ATL
|
Bigger issue seems to be the weather. I don’t recall weather being such an issue with past
Posted by OWWDig
|
Global warming*
Posted by Sounder
|
The greedy FIFA geniuses decided to do all the games in the South.
Posted by gullit
|
“Being cool” is not how these things are decided. *
Posted by assassin
|
Sucks that there aren’t games in Chicago this summer or next*

Chelsea's Maresca slams 'joke' Club World Cup weather delays
Posted by gullit

I saw Hercules Gomez dragging BVB for complaining about 85 degree weather in cincy
Posted by ATL
|
Yea, seems the heat and the lightning are causing angst. *
Posted by OWWDig

These idiot organizers can't even put the names on the screen for the individual introductions.*
Posted by gullit

Darn…gonna miss saying Botafogo*
Posted by OWWDig
|
This el Salvador vs Canada game is peak concacaf*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
I just watched the Honduras goalie essentially punch a corner backwards into his own net*
Posted by assassin
|
Saw the replay on fs1. That's pretty awful*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
Ulsan just went 2-1 up over Brazilian powers Fluminense. Second goal was
Posted by ATL
|
Welp The Brazilians look like they’re about to eliminate Ulsan. Lead 3-2 in the 84th.*
Posted by ATL
|
Brazil definitely having a moment in this tournament. *
Posted by assassin
|
Bayern-Boca is fun*
Posted by AintHatin
|
Best game of the tournament by far.*
Posted by gullit
|
Jeez…mostly empty stadium for the USMNT gold cup game in Austin*
Posted by OWWDig
|
You paying $92 for that? I’m not.*
Posted by SurfTheBoneyard “Surf is just a national treasure.” — Jackie
|
Charging $92 for a MLS heavy team that could hardly get off a shot vs. Saudi Arabia is nasty work*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
Yep. People aren't paying 92 dollars a ticket to see the C team.*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
Plus 18% in fees. *
Posted by assassin
|
This ref is worthless
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
Do we really need another competition?*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
I watched some of the Miami game today at the gym. I'm always a fan of having soccer to watch*
Posted by OWWDig
|
No.
Posted by SurfTheBoneyard “Surf is just a national treasure.” — Jackie

At some point some of these players are just going to fall apart
Posted by ATL

Miami just beat Porto*
Posted by assassin

Seattle managed a goal vs Atletico*

Messi with another great free kick for the win!*
Posted by OWWDig

fun game at the Bowl tho. It could be 50K in attendance and it'd still look empty*
Posted by assassin
|
Looks packed to me.
Posted by AintHatin
|
They said 80k*
Posted by QcIlliniFan
|
hm, maybe less fun with that goal called off
