CONCACAF Gold Cup

[AUDub]

Welp. Successful tournament. Playing with house money now.

Qatar gassing out like that surprised me.

A really strong second half of the second half. The subs brought us through. Qatar has not been substituting very often in the tournament and it came back to cost them tonight with some lead legs. Real happy for our youngsters.

Honduras didn't give us anything to get excited about versus Mexico, hoping Canada will prove to be a tougher out for El Tri.

Should be but Mexico brought their As for a reason. Their tournament to lose.

 

[AUDub]

You can tell this ref is inexperienced. He should have started carding people by now.

 

[AUDub]

Look at Canada drawing level!

Good game. Mexico concedes their first goal of the tournament.

 

[AUDub]

Just like that, they get CONCACAF'd hard lol.

 

[AUDub]

Mexico looks shook. Canada looks like they could win this tournament right now.

 

[AUDub]

Welp, ref stops play for the PUTO chant again.

 

[AUDub]

Mexico wins but Canada put up a hell of a fight.

So Sunday's final is set. US and Mexico in a Gold Cup final. Cue the "I am inevitable" meme.

Really just hoping we put up a decent fight. Loaded Mexico roster and all that. I expect Funes Mori and Pineda to have a field day.

Herrera too. I could respect his game but he's just such an unrelenting douchenozzle lol.

 

[edwd58]

Really admired Canada's grit and hardnosed play. I thought they deserved to go to extra time where I felt they had the momentum, and a darn good chance of winning.

Looking forward to the finale', maybe our youngsters will provide a surprise or two...

Canada did better than I expected. We made it through with the kids. Uphill climb against Mexico, but invaluable experience for us. Will payoff down the road. I didn't think we would beat Qatar, but they did indeed run out of gas. You never know; we make shock the world

 

[AUDub]

Let's see if Tata is still employed tomorrow lol.

I expect Mexico to win but I'll be pleasantly surprised if we challenge them with this roster.

 

[AUDub]

Hmm

Guess we'll see Busio and Dike against tired legs late.

Mexico probably controls the midfield and attacks the left all night with this lineup.

 

[edwd58]

Enjoyed the banter between the coaches at the presser (yesterday I think it was?). If that is an indicator of how the teams are going to go at it, it could be interesting. Go get 'em boys!!!

 

[AUDub]

Geez Arriola. Gotta convert that.

 

[AUDub]

Man this ref is cslling this game tight. A little too tight but he's definitely seizing control trying to avoid CONCACAFing.

 

[edwd58]

Dang, we had some chances in that half. All in all, I'm fairly pleased thus far.

Yep. I'm pleased with how this has gone.

Turner is seriously staking a claim as GK 2, maybe even 1.

 

[AUDub]

Just love having a firm ref that isn't letting the inmates run the asylum.
