FYI…if you’re looking for todays game on broadcast tv, it’s on Telemundo. CBS owns the rights to road games and naturally they put the game on Paramount+.
It is also hard to find on Paramount + But it is there, we really lack creativity up top, tons of meaningless possession. DD
Jesus, we spit the bit today - no creativity in the final third, which isn't surprising when you start the WORST FORWARD in Zardes, captain turnover......I mean that guy has the worst touch, our U15 team has better control. We really missed Weah's speed and creativity, and Matt Turner gave away the first goal with a HORRID free kick straight to Canada. We deserved to lose, had no creativity up top, zero. DD
How does Canada with a population about one tenth of the United States where Lacross is more popular have a better soccer team than the US? Soccer development is really pathetic here.
A Berhalter special if there ever was one. Pepi should’ve been in instead of Zardes. Why in the hell would he sub in bulk like that? Luckily Richards wasn’t badly injured otherwise we’d have been totally screwed. I don’t like messing with the back line when they played so well against Honduras. Zimmerman earned the right to start. There’s just no offensive flow. Everything is in a straight line, either forward or sideways. That quick diagonal isn’t made. The through balls go to the flag which are difficult to deal with when they should be going behind the central defender. That said, the game felt an awful lot like when we play mexico. We had much of the possession and more chances…only to succumb to a couple of breakaways. Canada isn’t a pushover anymore and they clearly wanted that more than us.
Should be a balmy 2 degrees F for kickoff tonight. There gets to be a point where the weather eliminates any skill advantages. The heated field doesn't do much of anything other than keep the field from freezing. It doesn't warm the players. I don't know how you play in this kind of cold. I think it's dangerous and stupid for US Soccer to have planned this.
A loss today by either mexico or the u.s. today would be brutal considering the upcoming matchup in mexico The pressure going into that match would be something not seen since 02 easily I think mexico can afford a draw but the usmnt has to bury honduras today the usmnt closes with mexico, panama, costa rica mexico has a considerably easier road with u.s, honduras, el salvador
This is a MUST win game, and the lack of result against Canada keeps the Panama game as very important in the next round. It is amazing that we are still here, and that Canada came from nowhere to basically dominate the hex. DD
Not ideal considering how poor most of concacaf is but could be worse lol imagine being a fan of colombia Only brazil and argentina have better talent yet they are unlikely to qualify
Job done. Wish they’d quit being so inconsistent. There no reason they can’t play this way 2 games in a row. Quit putting yourself in a position to need a win. Just play your game and force the other team to adjust. I was impressed by de la Torre. He and Acosta held the center down well and let McKinney be free to do his thing. Still need production from whomever plays the 9. Great to see set piece goals and for CP10 to get on the board. His post game interview was funny as he clearly did not want to be out there anymore. Still work to do next month. 4 points should be enough. Ideally we’d get to the CR game having clinched.
@leroy We play AT Mexico Home to Panama and at Costa Rica I am far from comfortable......Mexico finishes with Us El Salvador Hondurus They should have 27+ points after being gifted a flopped PK tonight in the 80th minute Canada will win one of the top 2 spots. Leaving us, Panama and Costa Rica battling for 3rd and 4th...... A result against Mexico would be huge, they are not playing well at all - and lack offense - but it is a rivalry..... I dunno, having flashbacks to T&T DD
But why? was the reasoning simply to have less honduran fans? cause it sure aint competitive advantage seeing how poor of a side honduras is.
If we beat Panama at home, as we should, the other 2 games likely won't matter. If they manage a point at Mexico, I'll feel a lot better. Gamesmanship...but I don't understand either why this game wouldn't have had the same result in a warmer climate. I think it was dumb and dangerous...as evidenced by 2 players having to leave the game due hypothermia.
3 own goals by one player in one game. Wow. They just need to put the New Zealand woman on the front line instead of the back. Crazy. When it Moores it pours.
