Idk what's worse on reddit match threads. The hypocritical and salty nads or the apologetic Mexicans fans that try to fit in. Referring to the penalty call Mexico got.
I'm just saying... Mexico are usually given a little bit of help to get to the final. Mexican fans, if you can't take that... too bad. ESPECIALLY all those #NoFuePenal morons. https://t.co/qGeTtkT7NS— Juan Arango (@JuanG_Arango) July 3, 2019 Typical salty comment from a fan of a latin american team not named Mexico. I didnt hear the outrage 4 Costa Rica's phantom call on Sat. Where was the help there? at least contact in the penalty area was made for this one. We couldve lost in a shootout but no mention of that. lol— Alucarda (@Alucarda_666) July 3, 2019
These next dozen years with Christian Pulisic leading Team USA is going to be an absolute blast. We're much closer to being a big-time World Cup threat than many think because of him.— Jason Smith (@howaboutafresca) July 4, 2019
He said spot on to the hilarious idea that Chile vs Peru is a bigger rivalry. Like where the fvck outisde South America would a Peru vs Chile game sellout? GTFO. I also love how Peru qualifies to a World Cup for the 1st time since Lopez Portillo was still president (aka Reagan 1st administration) and have a good run suddenly they are so more historic because they had a good streak in the 70's than Mexico.
Very much so, especially when you consider that Peru went nearly three decades without qualifying to a World Cup and Chile only won silverware four years ago.
If you are objective irrespective of the result tonight I don't know how anyone can still claim the #USMNT should have hired Martino instead of Berhalter. US better organized, better passages of play, less cynical all despite having lesser quality in the squad. #CopaOro #MEXUSA— Kartik Krishnaiyer 🇺🇦🌻⚽️ (@kkfla737) July 8, 2019 These foos will do anything to convince themselves they arent total booty
So...like...this team started Tim Ream at left back. Its only sub at striker was Gyasi Zardes. It asked Michael Bradley to cover an area the size of Orange County. And it still made the final and out-XG'd Mexico.Honestly: things are OK, y'all— Jerry Hinnen (@JerryHinnen) July 8, 2019 But muh xGD It was only a matter of time when American stat geeks were going to ruin the discourse
I wonder how all these analyses about how they outdid us on expected goals (which... okay?) and the like fail to acknowledge the hodge-podge potpourri of players we built this team around. Are they seriously expecting to have similar stats when Lozano, Herrera, Tecatito and the like are back?
