PBP: 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup: New Zealand vs. USA, 6/2 3:00 AM EST

This should be nothing. Sometimes I'm restless and stay up til 5 or 6 in the morning.

 

Since Reading want him resting, I think the next time you see Novakovich in a USNT jersey, it will be with the first team. Especially if he bangs in some goals with the Reading first team.

 

Ukraine beats Myanmar 6-0

 

It might be delayed a few hours but there is plenty of time Forecast looks clear by 2 AM pacific which just means a nap for me.

I think we can safely say that Ukraine is much better at something than the us.

I will start with coaching.

 

no no no. us east coasters need sleep too

 

I watch YouTube videos. Currently on a Andrea Pirlo binge.

 

This Panama side are dirty as hell.

 

Weird Myanmar-Ukraine game, scoreless for 50 minutes, then 3 goals in about 7 minutes, scoreless again for about 15 minutes, then the other 3 goals, boom boom boom in 10 mins. Strange.

Feels like a 3 or 4 and out cup to me, which is a bummer considering the seeming quality we have in a lot of places, we just never seem to play up to the potential of the players in this cycle.

 

Don't know why, but I'm at the weird side of YouTube.

 

Any update on this?

 

It's raining pretty heavily...team got to the stadium recently.

Oh and I'm also watching videos on how to invest in penny stocks.

I don't know why but I find it quite interesting and I really started testing it out thanks to my parents, if anyone knows about TradeHero on the iOS App Store it's pretty cool since it simulates the actual market (it's not really real-time since it's delayed by 5 minutes or so) but I like it.

 

Anybody else watching Panama and Austria? Panama's keeper has already saved two penalties. Guy just pulled a Luis Suarez. Panama is down to nine men.

 

I think June is about the rainiest month in New Zealand. Rains like 20 days out of the month, depending of course on where you are on the islands. Whose idea was it to play in NZ in the winter? Is this another one of those Seppy Blatts specials / FIFA deals? Quick, check those NZ to Switzerland money transfer records, or maybe it was funneled through Jack Warner's Caribbean crew? :--)

 

I'm watching it...despite the scoreline, Panama has some real quality on its roster.

Its CB had a clunker of a game, though...

 

That would have been one of the craziest points I've ever seen earned. Oh well

 

Who goes up top with Rubin? Jamieson?

 

Delgado starting again.

Moore to bench, Zelalem to start.

 

I like Jamison up top. Guy can finish, and Rubin's a very good setup man at the forward position.

 

U-20 MNT Starting XI vs NZ: Steffen, Payne, Miazga, Carter-Vickers, Acosta, Delgado, Hyndman (c), Zelalem, Arriola, Jamieson, Rubin.

Put Requejo at LB and put Acosta at DM. Come on Tab.

 

Jamieson and Rubin, not sure what to say about that.

Acosta at LB again, because Tab.

 

Happy to see Payne and Zelalem starting
