Zusi is going full Pirlo with the beard and hair.

How is this not at Saprissa?

 

Costa Rica's National Anthem sounds like it should be on while watch The Three Amigo's.

[Guest]

That joint photo opp is going to look hilarious later.

 

Also, Bradley on crutches with his ankle in ice. How does that happen in pre-game warmups?

[wolf stansson]

This is the new national stadium china built them for free (permission to plunder their coastal water's marine life).

 

@GrantWahl: Michael Bradley on crutches with a giant icebag on his left ankle.

 

:(

[USSoccer]

Bradley on crutches. Hopefully totally precautionary and he'll be okay for Tuesday.

 

The home match was the more important one anyway.

[wolf stansson]

Ray Hudson in, Cobi Jones out. Some good news finally.

[wolf stansson]

And Jermaine immediately does two extremely un-Bradley things.

[shnsajax]

Wow. This is horrible.

[Guest]

Come ON, Beasley

[wolf stansson]

Set pieces are kind of their thing.

[USSoccer]

Right away.

 

EVERY [expletive] TIME WE PLAY THERE.

[wolf stansson]

Watching them without the general gives me the same feeling as when I can't find my wallet. Anxious.

 

Should've played Beckerman. Much calmer on the ball than Cameron.

[Guest]

If we were a team that dives Dempsey would have had a PK there.

 

And then that happens.

[USSoccer]

[expletive] you, Beasley.

[shnsajax]

[expletive] you, Beasley.

 

Beat me to it.

[wolf stansson]

Beasley getting WORKED.

[shnsajax]

Some shitty ass passing.

[wolf stansson]

Are we playing with 9 men? Did I miss two red cards?

I think it only seems that way because we're playing with the first touch of a high school team.

[wolf stansson]

Orozco plays the dumbest RB I've ever seen, Omar gets sucked out to cover, CR surgically eviscerates the right flank. Rinse, repeat.

And Landon has been one of the worst so far. Horrible touches so far.

[wolf stansson]

Get your hand off your untouched face you [expletive].

Juego Limpio!

[wolf stansson]

OH [expletive] YOU

[shnsajax]

What a save. Playing better.
