These guys know that Apollo Creed was literally beaten to death when he wore that outfit, right?

It's hard to believe these two teams have combined for 4 goals

This shootout is going to be worse quality than the game

As long as Laryea doesn't score.

Turner has saved/not allowed 14/30 PKs in his career. That's truly insane.

Should’ve been demoted to Serie C with the amount of bS and cheating they did
play for LA Galaxy

Who was going to take the last PK if needed?

I don't know if they listed it. My guess may have been Roldan but I don't know for sure. Much better we did not need to find out.

Well that was clearly the worst they have played this tournament. They were much smoother against Jamaica even if it was a draw. I don't think Canada out played the US, the US just had way too many unforced errors.
We continue to get almost nothing out of our wide players who start. I think Cowell has to be given a shot to start against Panama.
The US will lose to Panama if they play anything close to this bad again, IMO.

It was sadly striking. I think we created like 8 corners just ramming the ball straight down the middle like it was 1983

This was very disturbing. I have been happy with Reynolds up to this game but that was only offensively since he was never tested defensively. This was the first time we got to see him in some one on ones and he did not come out looking good at all.

If people are wondering about Turner's t-shirt, it said RIP Malia.
Turner works with kids with cancer and sadly one of the children he interacted with passed away.

That was the first US Pk win since 2005. I don't know how many there have been since that time.

That is going to be a big decision for BJ.
I know GGG is almost certainly making some suggestions and GGG is absolutely hog tied to 3 up front, but maybe with the incredible lack of talent we have out wide, it is time for an old fashioned 2 striker set up. In the old days one hulking striker like Vasquez was often paired with a smaller more skilled player like Jesus.
My guess though is that they won't have the time to try anything new and we will just see the same run back again and hope for better quality.
This US team is so lacking any creativity that as soon as Mihailovic has an off game, they can't really produce anything elegant, which is probably why Rt1 started to work.

By the way, if this Canadian keeper can figure out his feet, his shot stopping is really strong. He might be an upgrade over Sweatpants man.

Panama has looked great this GC. This US squad could play their best and still get rolled.
Happy to hear they won. Has the US ever been eliminated this early?

The US lost in the quarter finals in 2000 (on pk's to Colombia)
They made at least the semi finals in every other one I can see (Gold Cup started in 1991, there may have been other similar tournaments before that)

IMO this was the hardest version of the Gold Cup ever. There were only 12 teams and 3 of the were guests in Peru, Colombia and South Korea.

The raw stats read like the US won the game by 4 goals instead of barely getting through to the PK's.
US-CA
67-33 possession
21-5 shots
0-7 saves
13-3 corners

Busio not good 1st half.
2nd half I'll give him some activity points but he just gives the ball wmaway too easily. Did create an own goal though.
The rest...kinda of meh for me. Gressel didn't earn a spot imo. Miholavich same. Just meh.
Saw Neal get the yips. Expected of a 19 hear old.
Didn't see any wing play that made me think the normal "A" starters are being pushed.
What I did see though is that I hope ggg isn't married to the 433. Just didn't seem to jive tonight.

I talked about this earlier as well. I wonder if they will have the guts to change things up mid tournament. Cowell is the only wide player we have on the roster with any willingness to try things and he is still fairly raw.

I hate to say it it but so many coaches have a "system" you must fit into. The 433 isn't easy to switch with just a sub and a move...
Play a system with what's available not the other way around

There is also the club vs country aspect. At club you can train a ton in a specific system. At the national team level it is not as easy to swap formations due to lack of any time to train with players you normally never play with.
That being said I do hope GGG is at least considering something new. The fact that the Gold Cup has been almost identical (with the small variance of inverting the midfield triangle against the minnow) does not give me great hope though (that assumes GGG is in contact with BJ as I highly expect he is).

I can't see which US players are involved but US and Canada got into scuffle walking to their locker rooms.
Moe.

McKennie better be careful might have another suspension coming his way
Dinsy Ejotuz

Yeah, when I read your comment about Canada outplaying us I was thinking we'd watched different games. US was pretty dominant in the 2nd hour, despite all the problems. Canada didn't create hardly anything. The PK was their first shot on goal. And the 2nd goal is an ~easy save for Turner except for the deflection.
