Funny how similar Michael Bradley and Carli Lloyd are as players, both being Jersey kids, both playing the same position, having similar strengths and also being totally misused positionally in the group stages of the World Cup. Of course one of the managers realized that and changed tactics to get the most out of her best player and one did not. Not that the men would've won the world cup. I just have to get my Jurgen shot in.

The 15.2/27 for #USA vs. #JPN is according to Fox the highest "rating ever for a soccer game in the U.S. on a single network"

[USSoccer]

Kind of wary of our Gold Cup group...it's by far the most difficult group of the 3. Honduras and Panama are always pains-in-the-ass to play against.

I love when ratings are put into these kinds of terms...

 

Between 8:45 and 9 ET, 31% of US homes in major markets with a TV in use were watching women's soccer on Fox.

I think they're going to steam roll chumps. I also don't think Mexico makes the final and Herrera gets fired.

This, unless they or we drop to 3rd in the group I don't see Mexico making it past CR.

 

Still pissed after living 7+ years in the northern Dallas suburbs, the Nats wait until now to finally play in Dallas.

All of the goals called by Cantor. Would be fun to have him call some men's games in English.

So Chile will now play in a major tournament every summer through 2019. The same could happen to the US, Mexico, or CR.

This could be fun.

Guzan is under siege to start out. Midfield needs to start holding possesion.

[wolf stansson]

This game is CONCACAF as hell.

[wolf stansson]

That goal was CONCACAF as hell.

[KaiserCesar]

That goal.... so Concacaf

[wolf stansson]

That no look through ball from Fab was dooooooooope.

[USSoccer]

-This ref is too small for this game

-JK got his midfield wrong. Zardes and Yedlin are part of the problem.

-Clint is a damn hero.

Jozy has been awful tonight. Wish they brought Agudelo.

Missed the first half. Was getting ready to ask this. Getting subbed for Wondo-sitter at 60 wasn't a good sign.

[shnsajax]

Nice. Clint getting some home state love tonight.

[wolf stansson]

He's gonna catch Landon, isn't he?

[shnsajax]

I miss J Jones.

[wolf stansson]

Ventura...... This isn't liga mx my dude. That was weak.

[wolf stansson]

Look! A wide midfielder. How novel.

[KaiserCesar]

That was a sloppy finish. Haiti shouldn't be a problem, but this team needs to do better.

[wolf stansson]

Gonzo over Alvarado. Evans over Chandler. Garza at LB, move Fab up. All good.

[Banedon]

This game is CONCACAF as hell.

 

Ok, so I watched the game last night....what does this mean?
