And with the captains armband? 
 

his goals count x2 right?

Like the lineup.  Bello is the only real surprise.  I'm assuming Vines just doesn't have the legs tonight.  Love Williamson getting his chance.  If he plays well I think he forces himself into WCQ.  Like others, I would've gone Roldan over Arriola, but Roldan and Gioacchini coming in against tired legs worked last time, so maybe that's the plan again.

 

[gianmarco]

Something about Hoppe I just love. He looks....salty.

 

[JaxBill]

narrow pitch

@SoccerInsider: Field is 110 yards by 70 yards, I'm told. #usmnt #eltri

 

[encaitar]

Turner.... oof.

 

[otb_lifer]

absolutely stirring anthems, what an electric atmosphere thus far!

Wife commandeered the TV again to watch gymnastics, so I'm following the thread for updates for now.

My gut says MEX comes out hot and tries to score quick like they did vs Germany in the WC.

 

[QuizGuy66]

lulling Mexico into a false sense of superiority so far...

[DJackson10]

Over under on how many scrums happen, bottles thrown at US players, and Mexican fans start with their BS chants that are getting them in trouble?

hopefully they were wise enough to not sell bottles in that place

[whoknew]

They are playing the Gold Cup Final on a small field? What? That can't be normal, is it?

 

[gianmarco]

Is it smoky from the pregame stuff?

 

[Rustoleum]

Turner looks like every rural  tire/brake technician ever. 
 

Mexico might get the job done, but it’ll take a while to get the parts and it won’t be cheap.

 

[DJackson10]

Wonder how much of the chippy stuff this ref will allow. Youngest ref in a final tonight for this. Should be interesting 

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

The US needs to start falling over every time they're touched.  Ref is calling ANY contact.

 

[gianmarco]

Some nice passing there to get out of trouble.

 

[gianmarco]

Bello getting worked on that side.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

My six year old is rooting for Mexico. Like he’s actively booing the US.

It is when the committee gets paid off 

 

[TripItUp]

not a handball...JFC

 

[QuizGuy66]

So far liking this ref not falling for any of the clowning

[gianmarco]

Turner!!

Did you tell him adoption is still on the table?

You just failed as a parent dude 

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

I hate Mexico so much.

Be nice if he started carding these guys for complaining too much. Ref can do that. 

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

My four year old is rooting for the Nats, but he’s calling them “the white guys,” so it isn’t that comforting. 

 

[The Gator]

What a save by Turner

 

[QuizGuy66]

Surprised soccer is still allowed to he played considering there are apparently 7 or 8 fatal injuries on the field per game

-QG

 

[otb_lifer]

Turner sportin' eyeliner?

lookin' like a late 90s Hot Topic/Rivethead chap

[CletiusMaximus]

CONCACAF not using the stretcher girls this tournament? 

 

[Moe.]

Mexico insufferable so far, just so easy to hate 

 

[TripItUp]

More through Hoppe please.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Ref calling this TIGHT.

 

[TripItUp]

Nips is getting dominated.  

 

[gianmarco]

US needs to reciprocate and go down on any contact. Mexico just ridiculous right now with that garbage.

 

[AAABatteries]

You expect the bottoms feeders to pull the crap falling down constantly - Mexico are just a bunch of guys who apparently think they aren’t talented enough to beat our B team straight up.

 

[DJackson10]

We're gonna lose tonight but I feel it won't be because we deserved it and we are gonna get CONCACAFED with some BS either a sending off, PK allowed or not or some other weird thing 

 

[Zow]

Casual fan here. What’s the significance of the tournament? Do we qualify for World Cup with a win? Is this our normal lineup?

 

[AAABatteries]

Bello giving up way too many corners.

 

[DJackson10]

You expect the bottoms feeders to pull the crap falling down constantly - Mexico are just a bunch of guys who apparently think they aren’t talented enough to beat our B team straight up.

Nah it just shows a total lack of respect to the US thinking they can beat them with that stuff easy 

 

[AAABatteries]

Dear god Nips

 

[gianmarco]

Casual fan here. What’s the significance of the tournament? Do we qualify for World Cup with a win? Is this our normal lineup?

It's just a tournament. Some prestige, that's it. Nothing to do with WCQ. Not our top lineup.

 

[QuizGuy66]

HOW COULD HE MISS THAT?!?!?

-QG

 

[gianmarco]

####### Nips.

 

[whoknew]

Ugh. How did he miss?

 

[TripItUp]

Dammit Nips...you have to be better.
