[TripItUp]

Great ball in from Acosta

Was Zardes fouled/clipped?

 

[jabarony]

This Zardes guy. Is he usually this bad?

 

[Moe.]

I just started stress drinking 

 

[TwinTurbo]

This team is painful to watch. 

 

[CGRdrJoe]

This Zardes guy. Is he usually this bad?

 

[CletiusMaximus]

How is that not a red?

Nani says it’s a clear red. 

 

[TwinTurbo]

This Zardes guy. Is he usually this bad?

Yes

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

US has flipped the script AGAIN in the last 15 minutes.

Also, Mexico should be down to ten.

 

[DJackson10]

Bodies on the floor in the box everywhere now. It's a wrecking derby out there right now 

 

[gianmarco]

After the #### called in the beginning, how is that not a foul?

A lot of questions have to be asked of Mexico if they lose to the US B team. Not saying US B Team is terrible but Mexico's squad is much better and you would have to say were favorites to win this when US announced their squad for this. 

 

[gianmarco]

Robinson and Sands have been tremendous. Acosta as well. What a defensive game from those guys along with Turner.

This B team is terrible. Which means Mexico is also terrible.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Acosta starts over Musah, fight me.

Can't be that terrible, they just beat Qatar.

 

[DJackson10]

This B team is terrible. Which means Mexico is also terrible.

I wouldn't call them Terrible. There have been moments and they are gritty similar to former uS Teams. It's a young and very inexperienced team though. 

 

[TripItUp]

Acosta starts over Musah, fight me.

Nah...but Acosta is earning consideration for minutes.

 

[TripItUp]

Robinson and Sands have been tremendous. Acosta as well. What a defensive game from those guys along with Turner.

A little mixed for Sands IMHO.  Robinson and Acosta I agree.

 

[The Gator]

Really, really really dislike Funes Mori

 

[TwinTurbo]

Its really discouraging if these are our best young players. This looks like a pickup game in the park. 

 

[DJackson10]

You'd think a guy with Chellini in his name would be a defender 

 

[TripItUp]

Nips gives great effort, but he's just outclassed at this level.  I'd give him a 5.5 here.

 

[AAABatteries]

I  GGG’s subbing these last two games.  Not playing scared - go win it!

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

That spine of Turner, Robinson, Acosta and Williamson has been class.

 

[DJackson10]

Its really discouraging if these are our best young players. This looks like a pickup game in the park. 

These aren't our best players. Most of them are getting ready with their Euro teams and such. 

 

[TripItUp]

Its really discouraging if these are our best young players. This looks like a pickup game in the park. 

A) These aren't our best young players

B) Mexico is one of the top ranked countries in the world

 

[gianmarco]

Mexico looks gassed. US starting to swarm.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Lots of tired legs out there. It’s going to one of those defensive fatigue goals that wins this.

i think I speak for everyone - please leave.

AKA Alessandro Del Piro vs Germany in the Semi Finals of World Cup 06 

 

[Moe.]

Whatever man, they are playing their asses off against our biggest rival. There is tons to like here 

 

[DJackson10]

Taser the guy taser him!!!!!!!! 

 

[gianmarco]

Lol@3 minutes.

 

[Charlie Steiner]

3 minutes stoppage. Love it.

 

[DJackson10]

Lol@3 minutes.

Should be like 5 or 6 

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Guy still wearing the full bald eagle mask in the 89’ is the real MVP. 

 

[DJackson10]

Busio trying to do too much there 

 

[PIK95]

We can't even string four passes together w/o giving away a counter.  We are in this because we are being so over aggressive.  We are lucky this Mexico team has been/is impatient and kinda weak.  This game can still go either way.  So weird.

 

[JB Breakfast Club]

AHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[DJackson10]

3 minutes stoppage. Love it.

Doesn't even play the full 3 either 

 

[gianmarco]

Busio on the dribble...

 

[gianmarco]

Tata get fired in extra time?

 

[NewlyRetired]

Well you can ask for a ton more quality but it is impossible to ask for any more effort.  These guys are giving everything they have.

The weak side CB has been brilliant all night.  Both Sand and Robinson are constantly picking stuff up.

Acosta has been near god like defensively.  

 

[TripItUp]

one of the most fun 0-0 in regulation matches I can recall...probably because I hate Mexico so much.

 

[NutterButter]

Much better 2nd half for the yanks.   The match is drifting in their favor.   

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Whatever man, they are playing their asses off against our biggest rival. There is tons to like here 

No idea how anyone could be disappointed. This is Mexico’s A team. Say what you want about GGG, but guys play hard for him.

All of this. This is a win for us no matter what. And a huge loss for Mexico and their A team in front of a pro-Mexico crowd.

 

[PIK95]

I do like the way Hoppe plays fwiw.

 

[encaitar]

The game deserved to be an extra time game.  I'm SO impressed with the effort by this group of USMNT players.  Never thought they'd be capable of giving Mexico this type of game.  Wonderful.
