Semifinals at Reliant Stadium, Houston, TX USA vs Panama 6:00 PM México vs Honduras 9:00 PM is anybody going to the games?
My buddy at work and I are thinking of going...he's a huge Mexico fan but it sux that its during the week...
Only EXPENSIVE tickets are left. Good luck getting in, though... it's going to be a tough ticket * That's what SHE said * . Too bad I waited too long (that's what she said). The U.S. will have its hands full with PANAMA. Mexico will have its hands full with Honduras. Both games promise to be entertaining.
That was probably the best played game by the US in a long time. They were solid defensively (outside of the goal they nearly gave up very early) while managing Jamaica's speed very well. The midfield was very good in holding, distributing and getting back defensively. My preference is still Edu over Jones. I think he's better on the ball and more dangerous from outside... but Jones had a nice game. Agudelo played better but he seems slower to me than I thought he was. It's not like there's a better option off the bench right now. I have to give credit to Bradley for having the balls to bench Donovan in a match of this importance. It turned out to be the right move as Kljesten had one of his best games and Bedoya was very good, too. The US was clearly the better team yesterday and proved it all over the field. That's the team they should be and I hope they show up again on Wednesday. The team that played yesterday should beat Panama fairly easily. Still have to finish better. Yesterday should have been much more than 2-0 with some of the missed opportunities. Is it me, or does Landon Donovan not know the offside rule? He argued that call (when he should have beaten the keeper and done it on his own) when it was clearly the correct call.
i have this red shirt that says USA on it and it's made by Nike. So yeah. I Don't have a soccer jersey. Do any stores in the area sell Red US Soccer Jerseys? I would really like one.
"So yeah" what? WTF does this mean? I think you're better off with that single light blue stripe on white, and Panamá will more than likely be wearing the red, just to have more contrast. Soccer4all.com (Clay and Hwy 6) has the red ones... but that's the THIRD alternate... I don't know if they will be wearing that.
I thought you were answering someone :grin: . I guess it's their "away" kit. http://twitter.com/#!/ussoccer said it would be the RED ones against Panama.
Damn, do yall see the prices for tickets on stubhub? I'm almost tempted to sell my ticket and cash in on it all. But if I don't, sure glad I got mine before the tickets became hot.
I'm actually from Panama so I'll be rocking my red Panamanian jersey tomorrow. Time to get some payback on the US from 2005.
Is this game only being televised on FSC? Of course I have the one Dish package without FSC even though I have complained to them.
Didn't ya'll get that just a week ago? I'm just hoping that it's the same US team that played on Sunday. Let's see if Bob Bradley has any balls and benches Donovan again. That midfield played very well without him. If Donovan starts, I'd rather it be in place of Kljestan. Bedoya has earned his minutes and should be starting. I hope Agudelo is ready for this one. They'll likely go with the lone striker again since it worked so well last time. He needs to do better holding and distributing, then finding the spaces. I don't think he was getting himself free enough on Sunday. He needs to get some separation to allow those through-balls some space. I'm predicting 3-0 USA this time. A little retribution for the loss and to prove that they're ready for whatever in the final.
the game will be on the spanish channel yall ready?? goooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllllll!! i would not step foot into reliant with mexico also playing
Angkor... have fun at the game, man...you'll regret not going if you sell it. It will be good. The atmosphere at MEXICO games is party-like. True story: My brothers and uncles and I ALWAYS try our best to attend MEXICO games, but for some reason, no one got to buy tickets in time. Everyone was running around. My mom asked if I was going because people in the place where she worked they all bought tickets and had some extras. I said no, my brothers said no. My mom seemed like she wanted to go, but was waiting for my brothers and me to buy tickets, and we didn't. This was last week. Fast forward to yesterday, and my brother gets a call and was told by my mom's boss that he had an extra ticket, and gave it to my brother. My brother accepted it, but when he heard many people wanted to watch it together, he offered his house as a place to gather (he has a huge LED screen at home), he gave it back. The guy ended up giving the ticket to my mom. Finally, my mom will be going to her first MEXICO game. I know she will have a good time. I think they're in a suite... the boss is a dentist... he's got money. :grin: LOL! No, but, seriously... even if las barras y las estrellas has trouble with Panama or it's easy, I believe it's been set from the get-go... because the seedings and knockout stages are set that way... my prediction is USA wins in kicks from the penalty spot. It will be USA vs. MEX in the final. ROOF will be closed at Reliant. It will be EFFIN' loud. Why not, Rockets Pride? explanation?
But so has Kljestan. I mentioned prior to the tourney that Bradley must have been insane (or something like that) to select Feilhaber over Bedoya who was in such lovely form for his club. Kljestan is also similar. I've NEVER been a Kljestan fan but he's come on in leaps and bounds w/the experience he's getting at Anderlecht. If anything, I'd start Donovan behind Jozy(if Jozy is fit to go) and go with Dempsey- (The Empty bucket of Bradley and Jones-although I'd prefer Edu in place of Jones as Edu has more attacking verve) and Kljestan/Bedoya with the other coming off the bench. I don't see Bradley benching Clint for this one but I wouldn't mind seeing Clint and Agudelo off the bench. I think Donovan has to start.
I think the only reason Bedoya wasn't selected to begin with is that his club is still in season, I'm glad he's on the team now though because he's been playing very well. Also, I don't think Altidore is going to be available. I'm not sure how bad Jones' injury was but he may be rested as well. I just hope that whatever lineup goes out there they go out and attack and play with confidence.
