wtf?  Are you surprised its only 1 sub there?

 

[JaxBill]

Take wood off but leave Zardes on. I don't get it.

 

[The Gator]

No

 

[Christo]

Shoot!

 

[Sinn Fein]

Take wood off but leave Zardes on. I don't get it.

Moved Zardes up - where he is better - Zusi drops in to help defensively.  Good sub imo

 

[AAABatteries]

Bedoya 

 

[NewlyRetired]

It is amazing the complete and utter dominance each team has over the other when playing at home.

 

[The Z Machine]

I woulda pulled Jones or Demps to dave their wheels.

 

[gianmarco]

Yeah, let's not get Pulisic some time here. Jesus, JK.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Is there a specific result we want in the second game tonight?

 

[TLEF316]

Wondo on. Guess JK is hoping he can kill some clock by booting a sitter into the upper deck

 

[Evilgrin 72]

Is there a specific result we want in the second game tonight?

Kind of depends on whether you're still holding out hope of winning the group or not. 

 

[gianmarco]

Is there a specific result we want in the second game tonight?

I would think Colombia win or tie. That way we advance with either win or tie. 

If Paraguay wins, tie no longer good. 

 

[NewlyRetired]

crap, bad card to take in a blow out game.

 

[Evilgrin 72]

What ever happened to Sam's Army? 

 

[The Gator]

What is it, get all the old guys some run night? cmon 

 

[The Z Machine]

Colombia big win to crush Paraguay's hopes.

 

[ffldrew]

That was just a foul - not sure when that becomes a card - unless I missed him getting a talking to earlier

 

[TripItUp]

weak card on Brooks IMHO

 

[AAABatteries]

Colombia tie seems best to me.  It means they have to give CRC a game to win the group and with Paraguay on 2 pts it means that they have to attack us.

 

[ffldrew]

Zardes asleep on D again

 

[Sinn Fein]

Never sub on a free kick...

 

[Evilgrin 72]

Brooks farted near Ruiz and he went down like he got shot with an AR50. Shocking. 

 

[NewlyRetired]

What ever happened to Sam's Army? 

It still exists but in a MUCH smaller capacity than the old days where it was the main supporter group.  It has been all but supplanted by the American Outlaws.

 

[rascal]

Good grief zardes

 

[Poke_4_Life]

I'm going to assume these subs tonight mean Pulisic and Nagbe start next game. Maybe even sit an old guy. 

 

[NewlyRetired]

Colombia big win to crush Paraguay's hopes.

I don't think 10-0 vs 1-0 makes a difference.  Paraguay would need to beat the US in either case to advance.

 

[Christo]

Zusi!

 

[Steve Tasker]

Well, have to say that this was the way to respond to the Colombia loss.

 

[ffldrew]

Well, have to say that this was the way to respond to the Colombia loss.

Or to Sunil's comments?

 

[Sinn Fein]

this is CR's 3rd string keeper, right?

 

[The Z Machine]

Not a lot of killer instincts this half.

 

[Poke_4_Life]

Happy for Zusi. 

 

[TripItUp]

Nice composure by Zusi there....this should seal goal differential vs. Paraguay.

 

[Sinn Fein]

  the ever important temporary 1st place in the group 

 

[NewlyRetired]

Nice composure by Zusi there....this should seal goal differential vs. Paraguay.

certainly seems like a draw is what we need now in the last game to advance.  We will know exactly what we need after the next game is over.

 

[The Z Machine]

I'm not sure Yedlin has a left foot.

 

[TripItUp]

I'm not sure Yedlin has a left foot.

:X

 

[Capella]

I think any result other than a Paraguay win is good for us tonight. Paraguay win would suck a big one. 

It would be nice to win the group and avoid Brazil, but cross that bridge when we get there I guess. 

 

[NewlyRetired]

Happy for Zusi. 

some people said the guy would never play for the US again.  It has been a nice resurgence for him.

 

[NewlyRetired]

I think any result other than a Paraguay win is good for us tonight. Paraguay win would suck a big one. 

It would be nice to win the group and avoid Brazil, but cross that bridge when we get there I guess. 

The draw between Brazil and Ecuador leaves the winner of that group still in doubt.

I want Paraguay to win big. F it. Then, we win the group when we beat them. 

 

[The Gator]

Pulling hard for a 10-0 Colombia win. 

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Jermaine Jones covered a #### ton of ground tonight.  Didn't know he had that in his game pushing 35.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Pulling hard for a 10-0 Colombia win. 

The GD won't come into it, right?  We'll need a draw no matter what?

 

[Sinn Fein]

Go Columbia!!

-adidas

 

[The Gator]

The GD won't come into it, right?  We'll need a draw no matter what?

Tiebreakers

If two or more teams are tied after group play is finished, the first tiebreaker is goal-difference (the team's goals scored minus its goals allowed). If teams' goal difference is equal, the second tiebreaker is goals scored. If teams are still tied, then head-to-head results are used to break the tie. If all that fails, lots will be drawn to determine which team(s) advance.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

W:  USA 6 pts, 1pt Para
D:  USA 4pts, 2pts Para
L:  USA 3pts, 4pts Para


I don't think we can finish tied with them unless they beat Colombia tonight and then we draw them on Saturday.  So unless Paraguay rolls Colombia +4 tonight we won't be looking at GD there.

I meant so that Colombia could have the tiebreak over us

We cannot finish with the same number of points as Paraguay.
