I blame this on putting the game in Atlanta, seriously.
Late last night he tweeted the date is official.Now Wahl just re-tweeted something about October 9 at the Rose Bowl.

Why would we not schedule this for Columbus? Seems were always playing at azteca???Late last night he tweeted the date is official.Now Wahl just re-tweeted something about October 9 at the Rose Bowl.

More good news for CCV - it looks like he will travel with the squad to Denver for the MLS all-star game.Some good news about CCV - Spurs played a couple of closed door friendlies today, senior team and Academy team. CCV playd 45 minutes for the senior team.
I still have not heard anything about his plans for the season - he would be at best 6th on the depth chart if he stays at Spurs, and would spend most of the season with the U21s v. Going out on loan somewhere. But it looks like he is continuing to progress. Seems certain that the U.S. would call him in for the Olympic qualifying, and maybe even a senior team call in to a European game sometime next spring.
But this IS related to the world cup. Winner goes to confed cup in wc host Russia to play against other confed winners. A chance to get acclimated to the WC host counrry ahead of time while playing against the worlds best.In terms of bigger I would rate the copa next year, the confed cup (both obviously not a guaranteed entry very often) and both years of World Cup qualifying as all more important and bigger than the Gold Cup. Beating Jamaica at home doesn't really prove anything. Just like losing to them in a one-off in a tournament not related to WC qualifying isn't the end of the world.The Gold Cup isn't some throwaway. It's the 2nd biggest thing the US can win and it's annoying that Mexico will probably win their 7th (to our 5th) now.
This is not a US controlled game. It is a Concacaf game. They don't care about a US home field advantage, they just want to make the most money they can.Why would we not schedule this for Columbus? Seems were always playing at azteca???Late last night he tweeted the date is official.Now Wahl just re-tweeted something about October 9 at the Rose Bowl.

DVR'd the game but saw the result. Looks like I have about 4 pages of reading to catch up on after I watch the game tonight.

I think if the US had played well in the group stage most would just have written this off as a quirk. But they did not play well in any of the group stage games imo, even if the results were favorable.What Floppo said. It's a funny ol' game and the US dominated play. Don't get the gnashing of teeth over a fluky loss. The sky is not falling.
At the Rose Bowl? 80-20 seems about right if Mexico makes it.Oh.This is not a US controlled game. It is a Concacaf game.

So, realistically, it'll be an 80-20 split for Mexico?
Do they give each confederation 50/50 of the tickets? So, maybe AO can request a larger allotment of tix?
Over the years I have been to a couple of games where the US is severely undermanned in the stadium. It is not fun, and some times not safe. I would not recommend.Let's say I wanted to go to that game in October with my lovely wife who likes US soccer but is less interested in being pelted with a bottle of piss. Is it that bad? Totally avoid?

I just told her about the potential of going (she doesn't know about the surrounding stuff) and she said oooh that sounds fun, let's do it.

She has a 2014 World Cup Jersey with "I BELIEVE" as the name on the back.

If you have seen the Outlaws video from their trip to Azteca, you can see how dangerous and bloody it can be.

hilarious.So for the Rose Bowl game... Could AO buy like 1000 Blue windbreakers and have ICE put in big letters on the back and then station 1000 people in the jackets around the Rose Bowl starting like two hours before the game?
Would that be wrong? Am I a bad person for even thinking of this?
It's not that bad. Also, I'd actually recommend sitting with AO. at least you now you'll be surrounded by a few thousand of the same fans. Who knows who you'll sit by otherwise. Just know that by "sit" AO is all standing and singing for 90mins. I went to the Phoenix Mexico game and it was a pretty friendly crowd for the most part. We had to kick a Mexican guy out of the AO section (somma##### is still in most of the pictures from that game though). Out in the bathrooms and beer lines everyone was friendly enough. Might have been another case of it being the AO section bathrooms and beer lines. Their were a couple hostile pockets of Mexican tailgates now that I remember....So much security though that nothing really escalated.She has a 2014 World Cup Jersey with "I BELIEVE" as the name on the back.

The whole tourney has been rigged to set up a USA v Mexico playoff. This is CONCACAF we are talking about. Crooked as Hell.This is not a US controlled game. It is a Concacaf game.

Actually not sure if you need to be a member, but you have to buy through them. There is a discount price on the site for members, so I would think that means non-members can buy. Don't remember if the ticket part is behind the password part of the site though... Presale codes go to members. That was the only way to get Columbus tickets.Ok so how do I buy AO tickets? Be a member? Or just sit around their section.
We are not shiit talkers by trade so I can't imagine it being that bad.

I am not sure whether this is a good or a bad thing but I believe everyone would be in agreement that the traditional strong countries in Concacaf looked bad across the board.Mexico should destroy that Jam team from last night
Makes you wonder if the Mexican team knew they were going to be gifted a finals spot and didnt care to try. (sarcasm, sorta)I am not sure whether this is a good or a bad thing but I believe everyone would be in agreement that the traditional strong countries in Concacaf looked bad across the board.Mexico should destroy that Jam team from last night
Honduras looked toothless going out in the group stage
The US did not look good for most of the tournament
Costa Rica seems to have come back to earth quickly
And Mexico has struggled through out really only advancing by good fortune, not by good play.
While this is a positive thing for the US that we are not dropping behind the other strong teams, I bet this could be an indication of a very interesting qualification cycle.
lmfaoBeckerman can go back to playing hackysack in the quad at Cal Poly SLO now.
He's retired. Please take this to the soccer thread /thread police
well his last "job" was with the US U20's.He's retired. Please take this to the soccer thread /thread police![]()
It is all based on your definition of bad I guess.WTH? Losing to Ghana, Ghana and Germany by a goal in the WC aren't bad losses. Neither is losing to Brazil in the Confed Cup (even after going up 2-0). 5-0 to Mexico should be #1 IMO.
I went to the U.S./Mexico game in San Antonio and sat with the Outlaws. Stadium had 65k in attendance and it was at least 75% Mexico fans. Environment was awesome and we never felt threatened. Plus, dos a cero.It's not that bad. Also, I'd actually recommend sitting with AO. at least you now you'll be surrounded by a few thousand of the same fans. Who knows who you'll sit by otherwise.

Speaking of Phoenix, that is a much better venue than the stupid ####### Rose Bowl.
