by Catracho Wed Jun 08, 2011 5:10 am

this game is terrible..

my god.

by Catracho Wed Jun 08, 2011 5:12 am

DeRo almost equalises it for Canada.. just wide.

by Catracho Wed Jun 08, 2011 5:16 am

USA's wingbacks trying to creep behind the Canadian backline slowly so that noone notices them.

I'm assuming Jones goes back when one of them get caught uptop or when they go into attack.

by Catracho Wed Jun 08, 2011 5:21 am

I honestly think that if a fan streaks, it'll be the highlight of the game Very Happy

by Catracho Wed Jun 08, 2011 5:25 am

halftime: USA 1-0 Canada

omg. I hope this doesn't continue.

by The Madrid One Wed Jun 08, 2011 5:31 am

I don't want to troll or anything but the US team always puts me to sleep.

Canada not that bad though

USA 2-0 Canada

goal by Dempsey. this should be more than enough to keep Canada from winning.

by Blondie Wed Jun 08, 2011 6:04 am

maybe boring, but win is a win Razz

by Catracho Wed Jun 08, 2011 6:09 am

I don't see anything else happening.. imo they should call the game.

by Catracho Wed Jun 08, 2011 6:21 am

Tim Howard very good goalie imo.

by Catracho Wed Jun 08, 2011 6:30 am

Fulltime: Canada 0-2 USA

by Swanhends Wed Jun 08, 2011 6:54 am

Seems we've taken two steps back from the WC

I can't believe Bradley got an extension...

Chris Wondolowski?

Bryan Oviedo, the right back for Costa Rica has left the squad due to the death of his father. He will miss today's match against La Selecta.

very big news right now. The U-17 and U-22 are being tested due to concerns of this within those squads as well.. o lawd Mexico.

by Catracho Fri Jun 10, 2011 2:01 am

Says they will take a second test and if they fail that it could be up to 2yrs

and if they're cleared they comeback after Group stages.

by Interista809 Fri Jun 10, 2011 2:03 am

I just read on twitter that they tested positive for the same thing Spanish cyclist Alberto Contador did a few moth ago. Its called "clenbuterol." He blamed it on raw meat, and won the case. I guess the Mexican player will try to do the same.

by Catracho Fri Jun 10, 2011 2:03 am

The Mexican Female NT has been cleared. tested negative.

U-22 and U-17 left now.

by Catracho Fri Jun 10, 2011 2:09 am

I think it was from raw meat that they ate when they were training in Mexico on May 20th-21st prior to Gold Cup. Bad Carne de Res cooked in "Centro De Alta Rendimiento"

by Catracho Fri Jun 10, 2011 2:40 am

CONCACAF will make their decision tomorrow onto whether they will let Mexico call-up 5 replacements for the 5 players who tested positive for Clembuterol.

everything seems to point to that these 5 players will be punished. They brought up the Sergio Mendoza trial where he was banned 1 year from playing futbol because he tested positive for a banned substance that was found in his cold sore ointment.
