yes i guess i was right and i did have faith in chicharito and the whole team so i guess its time to pay up lol

 

Besides the obvious that Mexico/Cost Rica is gonna be a huge game for both, the next games for both are gonna be huge as well when it comes to goal differential.

 

honestly i didnt think costa rica was all that great they were up against cuba who didnt go to play lol. el salvador is going to be tough for costa rica like they were for a very long time for mexico. Mexico just open them up with that goal from juarez

 

Both teams (CRC and MEX) could have scored more in their games but I think CRC could have scored more (around 8-0) but you may be right. I don't know CRC too well. We'll see Thursday night. What is interesting is that CRC will play first and then Mexico.

 

Mexico 2-0 Costa Rica

 

I have it as 2-1 Mex but based on what I saw tonight, I would change it to 3-2 Mex.

 

CR 2-0 Mexico to top the group.

 

Lol

 

Last Friday I wrote a pretty comprehensive Gold Cup preview. The first two games have already been played, but check it out anyways! http://thesacklunchblog.com/2011/06/03/friday-lunch-2011-concacaf-gold-cup-mega-preview/
Let me know what you guys think.

 

Your Group A table has 16 goals scored and 15 goals allowed.

 

Wow, I can't believe I missed that, its fixed, thanks a lot!

 

I wonder if Jamaica can make it to the end

 

i see Canada in the semis.....bad refereeing, and i also predict that the US dissapoints

 

I think Canada doesn't make it out of the group, hah, but the US may well disappoint.

 

With all this doping nonsense and media storm on Mexico I would not be surprised if the Final is Costa Rica vs. USA now.

Anything can happen....

 

Mexico 2011 Gold Cup champions and I'm calling it now, in the finals at 2013 Confederations Cup against Brazil!

 

My predicition - well Dos a Cero of course. Does the group stage even matter with 8 out of 12 going through? Anyway, here's my prediction along with thoughts on the most over-hyped player in CONCACAF - El Chicharito

http://youtu.be/Fcqi1eWc0gA

 

overhyped, jealousy and bitterness are going to eat you alive.

 

I don't see how he's "over hyped". He's delivering at both club and national level. The hype he's receiving is on par with the performances he's put out on the pitch.

 

I'm willing to bet against Chicharito scoring against Costa Rica.

 

Chicharito won't even play v. CR. No need. Group is won. He's had a long Euro season. Rest him.

Canada beats Panama and GDB if they play as they did for long periods v. the USA. Canada was never going to beat USA no matter what. Can't really judge them on that game.

 

Because you have this bizzare feeling in your gut, or because you think Costa Ricas defense is better than Argentinas, Spain, Chelsea, Valencia, Holland, and paraguays? These being just some of the teams Chicharito has scored against.

 

i was on the salvie boards, they were saying zelaya or whatever his name Is Is the best striker In concamex. that me LOL

 

Group is won. Best comment I've read in a while. You probably aced math in school.
