USA vs Costa Rica

Surely if the game is called at this point it's just a USA win?

according to concacaf rule 19(7) the game would be replayed in entirety tomorrow... Denver is forecast for 12 inches of snow

It would need to be rescheduled entirely

Ian Darke reporting that the match commissioner says the game will be completed...Twellman pointing out that its not clear match commisioner has any say at this point

What an absurd match, but 3 points is 3 points. Dempsey now celebrating without his shirt on. G'wan you beauty.

geeeetttt iiiiinnn you beauty !

No one will ever forget the SnowClasico

I guess I should use this and stay warm...

This was crazy. The match should never have been played. Good win though Are we level on top now?

Second.

Found the picture I was looking for, as well:

How the hell did the ref allow the match to go on I will never know

Look at all the snow on the desk



Definitely won't forget that game any time soon

And the buzz generated among non-regular soccer fans was outstanding last night

Everyone still had their TVs on for March Madness, and lots of people switch to ESPN during commercials as a force of habit, anyone who did ran into a snowy shitshow that you just couldn't turn off

Quite a few influential media figures who arent traditionally soccer guys were tweeting about how cool it was as well: Bill Simmons, Colin Cowherd, Kevin Neghandi, Chris Fowler etc

dat hype generation through product differentiation

On more forgot this one:

Cute pics

Btw this isn't a friendly so you guys can just leave the 3pts at the entrance

pls and ty

What a game ffs

Amazing atmosphere from the Denver crowd there. The team did well and for all of Costa Rica's crying, this will give us confidence.

All hail the Snowfro

Meh, play us somewhere besides that polluted dump that is Azteca. However, we did win there last time with a glorified MLS squad so anything can happen.

I would be happy with 1 point, but given that there won't be any gamesmanship with the field, other than the altitude and the pollution, I think we'll do very well if the ref just lets both sides play. The common sense me believes this game will end up in a 2-2 or 3-3 draw.

However, the fan in me believes that since we managed to come out of the SnowClasico with no yellows, I have a feeling we will do the "impossible" and walk out of Azteca with 3 points. This isn't based in reality, but my belief in karma and that we will get 3 points as justice for the USMNT U20 team that got jobbed out of the CONCACAF Championship because of typical anti-American refereeing by CONCACAF officials. Mexico got handed that win after getting outplayed for 90 minutes by a supposed "average" United States U20 team.

Either way, I'm happy to see CONCACAF is getting better as a federation in terms of the quality of the teams and football played. I think the US and Mexico will both do big things in the World Cup along with whichever team manages to qualify third.

We're looking for our first 3pts. Who better than against the US? I think this is were we finally get going. I don't expect an easy win at all, but it's the Azteca. Jamaica already got away with a point. We can't let you guys do the same.


Can you guys pls stop with the anti-american refs?? CONCACAF refs are just shit in general. No conspiracy against the US. CONCACAF refs are just incompetent.

Jamaica?
Costa Rica?
Honduras?
Panama?


That's such a lazy line and it's frankly not accurate. Who better? A weaker side in an earlier match?

USA about to get #rekt by Mexico in El Azteca.. it won't even be close. No snow there.. just you, grass, smog, and 100k mad Mexicans throwing beer at you m8.

On the other hand, I see nothing wrong with playing in the snow, just how I see nothing wrong in playing in 112 degree weather with a Humidity index at 86%.

So beating Jamaica would have felt much better than beating the US will? It's only been two matches a tie in Honduras ain't bad, and a tie vs Jamaica is surprising but in a way a wake up call. So who better than the US?Who better than our biggest rivals?

You didn't say it would feel good, you said it was the best match to get the first 3 points from.

Moving the goalposts.
