June 6, 20169 yr This Copa tournament continues to embarrass itself. The play has been bad, the crowds have been worse and tonight they played the Chilean national anthem for Uruguay.
June 6, 20169 yr I really don't know what CONMEBOL/CONCACAF/USSF were thinking when they priced tickets SO HIGH for s*** like Peru and Haiti.
June 6, 20169 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 08:35 PM) Anyone else see the rumors of Arsenal buying Jamie Vardy from LC? Also, rumors are that Tottenham want to sign 19 year old striker Breel Embolo Rumors are rumors during the silly season, but the Vardy to Arsenal seems very likely to happen unfortunately. As for Spurs, they're also considered "favorites" for Batshuyi, Slimani and Wanyama too. They're obviously not signing them all.

I really don't want to see Vardy leave, especially after the season LC just had. If they sign Embolo, he'd be a great replacement with a much higher ceiling.
June 8, 20169 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 09:02 PM) So they can still beat CONCACAF teams on US soil. Ho hum. Just need a draw against Paraguay and hope Colombia wins out. Edited June 8, 20169 yr by chw42
June 8, 20169 yr Hell of a nice win. Now lets do it against Paraguay and advance to the next round and than see what we can do (got to get some positive momentum heading into the next set of qualifiers).
June 8, 20169 yr How did Paraguay not beat Costa Rica? Going to be tough against Paraguay. Paraguay got hosed on the travel (Orlando to Pasadena to Philly in 7 days) so that should help a lot.
June 8, 20169 yr Just need a draw vs. Paraguay to advance assuming Colombia doesn't completely mail it in the last game.
June 8, 20169 yr Decent game overall...better teams would have punished us early on though. Zardes is really brutal at the international level. He seems like a really good kid but I just don't know if he's cut out for the USMNT. At least as a starter.

It might be time to give Nagbe or Pulisic a try at starting at forward.
June 9, 20169 yr Case and point about Zardes' first touch. Makes me wonder how he even scores goals for the Galaxy.
June 11, 20169 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 10:33 PM) Messi just scored a hat trick in 30 minutes against Panama as a sub...unreal. Best player ever.
June 12, 20169 yr USA win group A after Costa Rica upsets Colombia. Hopefully we avoid playing Brazil.
June 12, 20169 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 11, 2016 -> 11:15 PM) USA win group A after Costa Rica upsets Colombia. Hopefully we avoid playing Brazil. It would take Haiti not losing to Ecuador and Peru winning to play Brazil. Very unlikely.
June 12, 20169 yr QUOTE (zenryan @ Jun 11, 2016 -> 10:30 PM) It would take Haiti not losing to Ecuador and Peru winning to play Brazil. Very unlikely. Yeah Brazil is at least gonna play to a draw vs. Peru.
June 13, 20169 yr Brazil gets hand of godded out of the Copa. First win for Peru o. ver Brazil in 30+ years. US were better off second.
June 13, 20169 yr Brazil should've lost to Ecuador. Karma. Brazil better watch out, if they don't fix things quick then they'll be watching Russia from their homes.
June 13, 20169 yr Oh wow. Can't believe Brazil didn't make it through... Turns out Colombia losing actually worked out for them. They avoid Argentina in the semis and get a easier team in Peru than Ecuador.

The Chicago semifinal will probably be Mexico-Colombia. Look forward to that.
June 17, 20169 yr Bradley always finds a way to f*** the team. He almost gave up a goal at the end of the half. Guzan saved us twice.
