2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup - Final: Mexico vs Los Nads; July 7, 2019

The issue with this team isn’t creating, because they’ve shown they can create chances. The problem is that they don’t take shots and do too many extra passes.

 

I doubt the Nads have the same stamina and athleticism as Haiti. Haiti was pretty well conditioned pretty much all game and still had energy to counter hard in the late parts of the game as well.

The nads will bunker for sure but they will try to possess the ball and attack more than Haiti. That will play into Mexico’s hands imo.

 

I see it very even out...........it will do down to who messes up the most at the very end and have that other team take advantage of it. Im concern with the corners because Mexico has taken a million and they have not done anything with them. The U.S always kills us on these and that is what im concern about.

Overall, it will be a very tight and close game.............and like i said its the one who messes up the most towards the end that will lose. With that said i almost forgot........lets go Mexico!!!

 

Where does the term ‘nads’ come from? Urban dictionary says it’s short for gonads

 

and when they do, they're often these useless salcido-esque shots smh

 

It's a play on words. USMNT fans/supporters are known as Nats, and you know what gonads are. Put two and two together, you have your answer.

 

Guti practiced today with rest of team and ready to go vs nads.

 

México is clearly better on all levels, but we can't finish for shit. That's going to be the issue.

 

Flying out to Chicago today. Anyone else going? All of my Iowa family and I are attending this final.

 

US finishing isn't much better.

 

I'm going with wife and my 2 kids. Also my sister in law and her husband are going as well

 

Lazy diss, Atleast gringo Has some meaning to it. “Green go”

 

Neg rep

 

Hoping pizarro wakes up this game and shows what he has proven he can do on the club level


Raul has looked a little nervous or lacking confidence these last few games too. These two will need to come through because its definitely not coming down the fullback's garbage crosses

 

I’m not sure one can say that Mexico has been clearly better than the US this tournament. Both teams have been a bit underwhelming for different reasons and based solely on the semi final games, the US left a “better taste.”

I think it will be an even game and I wouldn’t be surprised if either team wins.

 

Haha. 250 bolas for that shit show?

 

Haha pinches chinos

 

It tends to happen to Mexico a lot in Gold Cups. They start off strong and have missteps in the knockout rounds. In 2011, Guatemala scored first and kept the lead for an entire half until Mexico scored and then came back, then Honduras would take Mexico to extra time in semi finals.


We know the teams weaknesses, poor finishing and defensive lapses. Improve on those and we win. Something positive of these last two games is that it seems that Raul Jimenez is starting to understand his Wingers and midfielders more.

 

Even game imo. Individual brilliance is our only chance if the nads bunker easy win for them (2-0 nads).

 

This final will go to penalties.
