Mexico has been sanctioned by FIFA for the ongoing homophobic fan chant, according to @ale_orvananos
As punishment, #ElTri will play without fans during their first two World Cup Qualifiers against Jamaica and Panama in September.
wow! That is a large loss of revenue. Wiki says the first two home games are against Jamaica and Canada, two teams who could be in the top half of the ocho. So there is a mistake some where.Whoa.
It is the same question we all asked before. Outside of Kreis simply picking the wrong players across the board, I don't know whom else to blame or what caused that roster to be wrong in so many spots.Can someone remind me why our Olympic group didn't look more like this? I know the Olympic squad selection is kind of a punching bag, but I assume there actually were reasons most of these guys weren't there?
ok the games are against Jamaica and Canada. And I found this below in an article about the subject....I wonder if this is going to be enough of a threat to make the fans wake up....?wow! That is a large loss of revenue. Wiki says the first two home games are against Jamaica and Canada, two teams who could be in the top half of the ocho. So there is a mistake some where.
I figure if FIFA is going this far, the next step may be deduction of points, so Mexico has to figure this out and quick. If their fans do this again in the Gold Cup they could be in bigger trouble.
Was thinking about this, and I bet some of it is what you're talking about here -- would anyone really have considered Busio a year ago?NewlyRetired said:I guess maybe some of the young guys did not pop until the start of this season and such may have been considered too big a risk? I don't know.
I went looking and found nothing.NewlyRetired said:Did any one find out a valid reason why LDLT ended up missing both tournaments this summer?
This is what I was asking earlier. It seems we are blowing off a major tournament.NewlyRetired said:I had originally bought into the idea of using split squads for the tournaments this summer but now I am starting to question it seeing that every other teams have almost all their best players listed on the provisional Gold Cup rosters where we don't.
I would hate to see the nice momentum we built up halted with a quarter final loss to a loaded Jamaican team, or Costa Rica with all their players like Navas available (and actually trying unlike the last friendly).
Assist by Caden.
and now think about how abysmal our RB's were during Olympic qualifying. It is enough to drive me madAssist by Caden.
But what a strike. That thing stayed a foot and a half off the ground for 25 yards until it hit the net.
I can't say I entirely agree with it but this is what I think the thought process is:This is what I was asking earlier. It seems we are blowing off a major tournament.
of the babies, Clark jumps off the screen every time I watch him. I think he is every bit as good, or better than Aaronson was at the same point in their MLS careers, and Clark is a year younger than Aaronson was when he entered MLS (that year gap is massive at this age).Assist by Caden.

I don't see how FIFA can enforce this unless it happens on their home soil. Some major profiling going on here.NewlyRetired said:ok the games are against Jamaica and Canada.

According to FIFA's statutes on discrimination, more severe punishments may be given for future breaches in order to stamp out the behavior. Those include a reduction in points in official tournaments, including World Cup qualifiers, or Mexico being banned entirely from any tournament under FIFA's purview, including the World Cup itself.

That really shouldn't be an assist unless this guy gets an assist.Assist by Caden.

I was kind of thinking along those lines. Put a bunch of our well tanned fans in Mexico jerseys.Ill be yelling puto at every mex game from here on out
You really dont see the difference between swearing at somebody generally and this?I was kind of thinking along those lines. Put a bunch of our well tanned fans in Mexico jerseys.
Really not sure why it's such an issue unless you think cursing in general should draw a ban. Plenty of "F ________" chants at other US sports. Personally I could live with puto if they found a way to get rid of throwing objects at the players.
Fifa has given them about 27 warnings before this. This is hardly an isolated incident or profiling IMO.I don't see how FIFA can enforce this unless it happens on their home soil. Some major profiling going on here.
Clark made the key play in the build up. The spin was absolute class and instinct combined. It immediately opened the entire field of play. The room he created for Duncan was excellent.That really shouldn't be an assist unless this guy gets an assist.
Well the word has 20 meanings from coward to kitty to intercourse to male prostitute to gay. I always assumed it was along this line NSFW Carlin If you have a link to where it's use in a soccer chant specifically became anti-gay I'd be interested in getting educated on the issue. Hanging with the younger Mexicans years ago I heard it frequently.You really dont see the difference between swearing at somebody generally and this?
I've seen "hockey" assists that were more instrumental in a goal. It was a nice play, just having fun with an "assist" happening 10 seconds before the goal.Clark made the key play in the build up. The spin was absolute class and instinct combined. It immediately opened the entire field of play. The room he created for Duncan was excellent.
Obviously Duncan did the heavy lifting on the play, but that goal does not happen with out Clark's skill. And that is a instinctual skill we are starting to see more and more from the younger players.
This is a pretty good article on the subject. Interestingly this chant only started back in 2003.Well the word has 20 meanings from coward to kitty to intercourse to male prostitute to gay.

And I have no problem banning it along with any profanity chants. I could also live with it, if it means Gio doesn't lose an eyeball.
Thanks for posting.This is a pretty good article on the subject. Interestingly this chant only started back in 2003.

We may find out soon. The massive crowds that Mexico will draw in the Gold Cup will give us a very quick read of the situation.Thanks for posting.
Not a hill I want to die on, but I did find this interesting....CONAPRED, the Mexican federal department charged with eliminating discrimination condemns the use of puta, saying that it "reflects homophobia, sexism and misogyny that still is prevalent in our society."
It will be interesting to see if this penalty resolves the issue.
Need to stop going stick side and try the glove. Also, quit hitting his arm.Turner with an incredible game tonight even with giving up 2 goals

That last save was really nice. The PK save was easy since it was so poorly hit.Need to stop going stick side and try the glove. Also, quit hitting his arm.
He stood on his head! Was just making a joke that maybe they should quit trying to his right.That last save was really nice. The PK save was easy since it was so poorly hit.
I would put his foot skills as average. I don't see much of a gap in distribution skills between Steffen, Whorebath and Turner.He stood on his head! Was just making a joke that maybe they should quit trying to his right.
Can he hit a pass?
Great signing. I don't remember much of the 2006 Ecuador team, but getting that 2014 Honduras team to the World Cup was a masterclass.Costa Rica has a new coach
==================

Costa Rica has its new head coach, former Honduras (and Ecuador) head coach Luis Fernando Suarez. Suarez led Ecuador to the 2006 World Cup & Honduras to the 2014 WC. Getting Costa Rica to the 2022 WC won't be easy (especially with Canada blossoming).
Williamson is very calm on the ball in traffic, he's got the knack of finding space for himself just by being patient and feinting once or twice. Tidy.This is really good. It is a video of the recent Sporting vs Portland game and focuses entirely on Busio and Williamson, two of the players vying for a backup 6 role to Adams.
