wowowowowow ticos

So if the score holds, we root for Brazil-Peru tie and somehow Ecuador only beats Haiti by a goal, and Peru scores at least as many goals as Ecuador does in their game.

 

Sounds like most likely opponent is Ecuador followed by Brazil with Peru a relatively small chance (mostly because I see no way Haiti stays within a goal of Ecuador)

 

I know I'm getting ahead of myself here. Finish them off ticos

Ecuador is good. I'm not sure staying east with an extra day to play brazil is much worse.

This is a friggin great game!

Never seen some random dude on the bench get sent off before.

That happened to an assistant in one of the other games, but I can't remember who. Hilarious.

 

Less hilarious, how terrible Fox Sports Go continues to be.

Nice work winning the group!

oh man now I have to decide on whether to get tickets for thursday and then second guess that decision each day until then

Ecuador in Seattle is better than Brazil in Jersey regardless of any odd factor you want to conjur up.

 

Hell yes, vamos los ticos.

John Brooks just played the best game by an US center back since Gooch snuffed Spain and got signed by Milan in '09. I'm very hype by his emergence in this tourney.

Ecuador getting a 3rd goal pretty much guarantees them 2nd in the group and a trip to Seattle, because Haiti getting 2 in the last 30ish minutes is a looong shot.

Ecuador is locked in now as USA opponent right?

Yes, they are mathematically locked at 2nd in the group. Brazil/Peru has similar stakes as USA/Paraguay, Peru wins the group with a win, Brazil wins the group with a win or tie.

what is happening

I think these guys are the CB Bucknor version of soccer refs

hoooboy. the fact that the world's biggest sport doesn't have replay is just ridiculous.

So in less than 24 hours, the US went from likely playing Brazil in the quarters to Brazil not making the quarters.

And Colombia's strategy works . . . can everyone now acknowledge that Brazil is not a great soccer team? Especially without Neymar.

haha, and now they have to play an ecuador team that is much better than Peru. Not having Yedlin is going to be a big problem.

Also Chicago would have hosted a semi of US Mexico potentially has US not won the group. I was robbed of attending that event.

The move is probably Fab in at RB and Castillo out left, but I bet JK goes with Orozco at RB.

Or put Cameron at RB and slot Besler/Bimbaum in the center with Brooks.

Going from watching Copa matches to watching Italy bunker for 70+ minutes is like watching a different sport.
