tell me why that isn't a straight red for Salcedo

[wolf stansson]

Yo did the ref leave

[wolf stansson]

Last sub is Orozco, not Kljestan for JJ?

 

 

K.

[USSoccer]

Nothing says proactive, attacking soccer than subbing on a defender in a tied game at home

[USSoccer]

The Marquez tackle that we got an "advantage" call that wasn't actually called back was worse

[wolf stansson]

Jurgen is a dip horsefeathers horsefeathers this trash.

[soccer10k]

Nice defending.

[USSoccer]

This has been the worst week

[wolf stansson]

WHAT A horsefeathering WEAK

[soccer10k]

Good god, Holden. A man on the back post doesn't save that. Why he's not ranting about that rather than nobody tracking Marquez is baffling.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

shoulda tackled Marquez I guess

[UMFan83]

Well that's embarrassing

[USSoccer]

That's what you get for trying to play for a tie in the opening game at home. Ridiculous management. We wasted a half on a garbage tactical setup, earned the momentum back and then our coach just handed it back with the Orozco sub.

[wolf stansson]

I hope Mexico front page editors maximize their opportunity for maximum America trolling. We deserve every single bit of it.

 

 

There are many Jurgen-Hillary parallels I could make but have no energy for. Honestly this result is kind of awesome. Too bad no one who voted for Trump gives a horsefeathers about soccer.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

that was Marquez throwing the block there at the final whistle wasn't it

[wolf stansson]

Losing to Mexico at home via a set piece is like losing an election to Donald Trump lololol

 

Subbing Orozco for Besler is like picking Tim Kaine for VP instead of Bernie Sanders.

 

 

I guess I had a couple in me.

I don't hold any illusions the US deserved a result, but it just galls me to see that Mexican hackery get rewarded when they were under siege for 30 minutes.

Its very irritating to see a US team not take advantage of Mexico losing composure and failing to capitalize on momentum like this.

 

Past US teams had either the nous or coaching or grit to grind out a result in games like this. We had Wood and Altidore and an 18 year old trying to do this and everyone else falling over in failure

[shnsajax]

So move the Mexico hex game to NE or Seattle now?

[soccer10k]

Well Ireland just made me feel a bit better. Got a huge win in Austria today, 1-0. They're now on 10 points after 4 games and they've already played Serbia and Austria on the road. Looking good for at least second place as long as they don't bomb at home.

Their fans won't let that happen - they're the best.

[USSoccer]

John Brooks needs to realize that Central American opposition is going to try and wind him up

[Transmogrified Tiger]

losing to Mexico at home and then winning @ Costa Rica would be a very Jurgen thing to do, so let's do that

[USSoccer]

We're in the 3-5-2 when we have the ball. With CRC not having a striker on the field I guess it makes sense.

 

Guzan has made 2 very good saves already

[USSoccer]

Jones looks like a corpse and I'm pretty sure Brooks is playing drunk.
