Yeah, Guatemala need to keep being quite generous. Enjoying the football a lot particularly since we are actually winning.

Thinking Mexico is gonna go over 7 goals tonight.

Excellent first half, abject second half, Guatemala should have even have a penalty. With that being said, booya Smile

Well, all I gotta say is that Pinto (Honduras & ex. Costa Rica manager) keeps displaying his genius. Who else deploys a 5-4-1 with a highline? USA struggled to get out of their turf in the 1st half but still managed to find a rebound from a CK attempt. I'm calling Honduras the dark horse of the tournament. It's not easy making US look bad on home turf.

Guatemala started bad but looked better in the second half. Really wanna see Haiti go for that 3rd spot but it looks like Guatemala's getting it.

Haiti the far better side so far against the US. The players may well use the sod as an excuse but the fact of the matter is this US team is playing very poorly regardless of the surface in these opening 20 minutes.

He benched some starters tho, right?

by Rebaño Sagrado on Fri Jul 10, 2015 9:11 pm

Not offside either lol

by RedOranje on Fri Jul 10, 2015 9:21 pm

7 changes from the last match with a completely different backline, I think.

Klansman and his team of internationals looking deadly

A win today can see my lovely country in the quarters for the 1st time since, I don't know, forever (sometime in the very early noughties to be exact). Hopefully Cuba left some of their players at the airport today.

Out of curiosity, why leave your country place to "Private" then state your nationality in a post?

I never saw my country's flag in the profile set up thingy so I just left it as private. Wasn't an actual "I don't want anyone knowing where I am from" moment but more a "I'm not seeing the flag, meh, small mercies."

by RedOranje on Sun Jul 12, 2015 6:44 pm

Ah, gotcha. I'll see about getting it added then.

by Doc on Sun Jul 12, 2015 7:27 pm

Despite being incredibly shaky in set pieces, a nice first half and a solid 2-0 lead. Also, thank you RedO and RO for the flag, very much appreciated.

1st Quarter final appearance since 2000 Proud

Neither Mexico nor the US look like particular favourites at this stage of the competition. T&T the real winners from Mexico's draw with Guatemala though.

by Doc on Mon Jul 13, 2015 9:36 am

I would admit RedO, whenever our country faces Mexico and th US, we tend to crumble really fast particularly against the latter. Mexico really isn't inspiring anyone though so maybe a draw would be possible.

Didn't realise our Caribbean "neighbour" in Jamaica beat Canada, heard they even deserved to win by more. Wasn't as winnable as BMac thought.

by Rebaño Sagrado on Mon Jul 13, 2015 12:26 pm

Yeah I only watched the last 30 minutes, but Jamaica looked much better.

Usa at least has the excuse of the 7 subs against Haiti. Mexico just showed complete lack of creativity last night. Cross after cross.

Hi

I would like to take your time to talk about the post of yours

I think it is not an ok post because people might not find it ok

thanks

by rwo power on Mon Jul 13, 2015 9:44 pm

It was just a question. Razz

(You know, when I read "Haiti", I thought about that interesting practice and remembered that even in Europe some people considered it a viable option: http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/soccer-dirty-tackle/pepsi-apologizes-cristiano-ronaldo-voodoo-doll-pictures-032651350--sow.html )
