As tlef implied, this was only going to be about the relief of winning or the fury of not. There was never going to be much joy or satisfaction in this one.
The US not face planting tonight is another blow to Canada who really needed the two games next summer for the points in the rankings. Looks like we all get to enjoy a game of batteries and urine bags down in El Salvador (assuming we can find a stream since these away games never seem to be broadcast on normal channels).And there it is.
Job done. Hopefully nobody hurt. Coulda been at least two more if not for a couple phenomenal saves.
But damn...Cuba are really not good. Surprised Canada could only put one on them.
Watching the last five. Anywhere will do for the Bermuda busBermuda trying to do its best to throw the final standings a twirl. They scored first in Mexico and in second half game is 1-1. If Bermuda pull off the massive upset and get a win tonight, the US would host Mexico in the semi finals. If score remains tied, US will travel to Honduras for the semi finals.
tough one for the little guys.Sadtrombone
Happy for him.Sebastian Lletget signed a new deal with LA today which could see his current $300k salary more than double.
I'm losing track of who's playing for which team. Otherwise, poor st kittsFrom Sciaretta
CONCACAF U-20 World Cup qualifying draw June/July 2020
GROUP E USA Costa Rica Jamaica St. Kitts & Nevis
GROUP F Mexico El Salvador Canada Aruba
GROUP G Panama Haiti T&T Suriname
GROUP H Honduras Cuba Guatemala Antigua & Barbuda
FORMAT: the top 3 teams from each group advance to knockouts. Those 12 teams will meet the 4 qualifiers from a prevous tournament of smaller teams in the round of 16. The R16, QF, SF, & Final are single elimination. The 4 semifinalists qualify for the 2021 U-20 WC in Indonesia
Soccer can be so stupid. We’re going to play twenty games to eliminate a couple of grade school teams and then play single elimination when it matters and the game are actually competitiveFrom Sciaretta

My thoughts exactly. I hate single elimination games to determine qualification for any tournament.Soccer can be so stupid. We’re going to play twenty games to eliminate a couple of grade school teams and then play single elimination when it matters and the game are actually competitive
I saw something on Monday putting his chances of playing at 25%@CletiusMaximus have you heard any further information on Pulisic's hip injury? I was assuming it was nothing serious and we might see him play this weekend but I was not sure.
Damn, I thought not joining the US was entirely precautionary.I saw something on Monday putting his chances of playing at 25%
Tbh it was one of those goofy London soccer sites referencing some other site called something like chancetoplay...nothing official from the team at allDamn, I thought not joining the US was entirely precautionary.
Fwiw... It's prefaced by talk of him missing the US camp, so not really sure when it's fromTbh it was one of those goofy London soccer sites referencing some other site called something like chancetoplay...nothing official from the team at all
I'll wait on clete for that...
Pulisic confirmed via his Twitter account that he is in London, with PremierInjuries rating the American's chance of being fit for the match against Manchester City at 25%.
He has been in fine form for the Blues in recent weeks, with his goal against Crystal Palace on Saturday his fifth of the season, and will be a big loss to Lampard should he not recover in time for the trip to the Etihad.
There's been nothing. Lampard will be asked about it for sure in his press conference on Friday, in between the dozens of questions about Jose.@CletiusMaximus have you heard any further information on Pulisic's hip injury?

It seems he'll be available tomorrow.
Not sure how he fell out of favor so quickly. Really disappointed they shipped him out.NewlyRetired said:@Ned one of my favorite young players in 2018 was Auston Trusty. After a quiet year in 2019, I just saw he has been traded to Colorado. Any idea what went wrong in Philly for him? Was it a numbers game or did he just play poorly.
Worse guys to keep learning under than Robin Fraser, a top 5 MLS all-time defender.Not sure how he fell out of favor so quickly. Really disappointed they shipped him out.
1st one.... No he dint.A couple of fun highlights from Sabbi today

only bad thing about the second play was that he took the pk that he drew and it was saved. Luckily it was knocked in on a rebound by a team mate.1st one.... No he dint.
2nd one...yes he did, so we're gonna kick the #### out of him for having the audacity to pull it in a game. Really should've been two yellows on those players
The athleticism AND the mentality to want to continue the play and keep attacking...love that. Most modern players would be grabbing four different body parts in "agony" instead of trying to attack the box to get a goal.only bad thing about the second play was that he took the pk that he drew and it was saved. Luckily it was knocked in on a rebound by a team mate.
I love the athleticism on the second one to continue attacking after he went down the first time.
I like him...don't know that he's much different/better than Morris?@TheAthleticSCCR
Julian Gressel tells @samstejskal that that he wants to play for the #USMNT, but his stalled contract negotiations with #ATLUTD could throw up some complications as he seeks to become eligible by November 2022.
He is not really a winger. He plays more of a two way midfielder, kind of like an 8. I like him better than Roldan.I like him...don't know that he's much different/better than Morris?
Is he an upgrade for the US?
I agree... he's more of a traditional box to box midfielder... def better than Roldan.He is not really a winger. He plays more of a two way midfielder, kind of like an 8. I like him better than Roldan.
Yeah, he's similar to Duane Holmes in respect to England. No real need to rush a cap tie.I believe he's from Germany, but I can't see them wanting him over the options they have.
Played a lot as a wingback under Tata. He provides excellent service, so I'd describe him as a higher motor, right footed Brad Davis.NewlyRetired said:He is not really a winger. He plays more of a two way midfielder, kind of like an 8. I like him better than Roldan.
Even at La Masia, playing it out of the back can go so, so wrong.Nice goal by Gio against Barca in the UEFA Youth League
