PBP: 2019 CONCACAF U17 Championship Final: USA vs Mexico 5/16 7 PM (ET)

Wicky rocking the cool barista look.....

 

I hope we don't develop a fan base of as long as we look good. Looking good and turning them into wins is paramount. We need to still ****** win this game. Winning helps the program.

 

Lol

 

Don't get sore. I'm pretty sure you know what I was referring to and it was just an idle comment on the Mexico goal. Nothing to get excited about. Life is too short.

 

So who has the most potential out of this US-17 side? Busio looks good. Reyna looks confident, but a bit slow. Those are the only two I’m familiar with.

 

Moral victories? We are kicking your ass and you claim 1-1 is good in this game. You are the one claiming moral victories.

 

Pshhhh I disagree. Winning youth tourneys is nice, but these are about developing players. We've done that. Couldn't care less about the outcome.

 

Busio just score 1 goal please

 

Busio misses a wonderful chance from a turnover.

 

wicky might be the find of the tournament, this team is really fun to watch after that ugly half vs canada

 

No offense but your whole board does the same as well.

 

I'd ignore the delusional troll. That fanbase is going to take a while to accept the harsh reality of their ever diminishing stature in the region. They might sneak a result against the run of play today, but there is little doubt who has the best prospects on this field.

And ironically, for a program that has given us crap for years about our reliance on dual-nationals developed elsewhere, their best hope of keeping pace is to poach Mexican-Americans developed here.

 

No, I have no idea, I haven't browsed this sub in years before now.

1-1 is not kicking ass. You don't know football or sports in general. You have to score.

You're claiming moral victories by celebrating other stats. 1-1 isn't good, but you can't claim asskicking unless you, you know, score. That mentality is what filled the Wall of Shame thread for years.

 

gray doesn't look good

 

Dangerous FK for Mexico

 

There's one thing about this u17 team that I haven't seen in USA teams at any level - interplay between the forwards. Usually we look too much to midfield or outside backs to make the connections.

 

No defensive pressure ugh

 

Yellow for Martinez.

 

Pepi should come on for AOC.

 

busio certainly tries shit lol. that was a pretty wild idea for a kid to have in the box

 

stadium announcer warning against negative chanting

 

Armour is not good enough for this level right now. I'm tired of this notion from the US your left back needs to be your best left footer. It's a small % of the population, and many of these guys are ambidextrous.

 

We are so sloppy this half

 

Poor defending all over.

 

We are playing way too conservative.
