US-Costa Rica coming up. I have lost all faith on the islanders without Keylor, I think the US should steamroll them.

Moneys to USA with Colombia. Damn these come in difficult times if you're Euro. I remember games being in decent times at Chile, so what gives?

by BarrileteCosmico Tue Jun 07, 2016 10:33 pm

League is designed to be marketed only to the Americas, so most high profile games are scheduled after it's 6pm in the pacific coast of the US for all that mexican/hispanic audience.

Hmm might catch USA-Joel campbell

by CBarca Wed Jun 08, 2016 1:59 am

What a half :bow:

Let's keep this going. Thought the penalty was very generous though. Uruguayan FA is right, it's dangerously prepared for a CONCACAF team

Someone please tell me they played Oh Canada instead of the Star Sprangled Banner

by CBarca Wed Jun 08, 2016 2:05 am

Didn't see the beginning hmm

I quite enjoy Oh Canada as an anthem though. My dad wrote to the Canadian government when he was young asking something about the anthem, and they sent him back a letter with the lyrics and a vinyl of the anthem. It's been in my blood ever since.

Predicted this :coffee:

should have listened to Harmonica for a USA-Colombia double. He really is the most logical user on GL

by Perucho21 Wed Jun 08, 2016 3:10 am

James playing tonight

Looks like Colombia want to wrap up the group stages

by CBarca Wed Jun 08, 2016 3:15 am

Would you have expected them not to? When you only have 3 games, you can't afford to play with fire and hope you go through on the last game.

Why 'islanders' though? It's not Puerto Rico is it?

Bacca was immense :bow:

Textbook USA performance. When up against it and facing a weaker opponent, batter them.

Watch us bottle it against Paraguay now Laughing

I think this game just proved how important Navas is to the Costa Rica team. He gives them that extra quarter in the Game Over screen.

Still, Good performance from the backline. Brooks and Cameron are very solid defenders. Maybe Gonzalez won't be missed so much.

Here's hoping.

Klinsmann's job at stake in the next match.

Super strong anthem here!

RIP Paraguay Proud

USA trying to emulate their ancestors by trying to throw this away

by CBarca Sun Jun 12, 2016 1:30 am

LMAO HOW IS THAT NOT A FOUL ON WOOD?

Incredible

this ref is killing me right now

YESSSSS

Nothing but heart shown by Us there.

We can take this tournament!!!!

by CBarca Sun Jun 12, 2016 2:04 am

US is terrible at football etc etc

Consistently gets out of the groups in WC, just got through a group with fairly recent CA runners up, CRC (WC quarterfinalist 2014) and Colombia (WC quarterfinalist 2014). Depending on the result later tonight, the US could top the group.

Myth needs to die. US aren't amazing, but we're no longer bad at football and haven't been for a while now.

Amazing result, heart and soul in that game, incredible crowd. Can't wait for our next game

We are 10-15 years away from winning a world cup.

There is too much interest, and we have too many people, for that not to be the case with out culture.

by FalcaoPunch Sun Jun 12, 2016 2:19 am

Colombia going with almost all our bench for starters today all we need is a draw to top the table.

by BarrileteCosmico Sun Jun 12, 2016 2:24 am

What a goal costa rica! US to be 1st in the group?

by FalcaoPunch Sun Jun 12, 2016 2:30 am

Even though it's our bench the players are fully capable of grinding out the win especially considering who we have on the bench now.

I have to take a look but apparently if we lost we would avoid Brazil ( i think)
