We don’t know all that went into it verbally/otherwise over the course of the evening tbf. Let’s not act sanctimonious without further information.
1541949312619380737 is not a valid tweet id Is that Cowell on the left waving "bye" with both hands and then CR players start running over there? Tensions were soaring between Costa Rica and USA's U-20s after the final whistle pic.twitter.com/OZAjQUXWum— FOX Soccer (@FOXSoccer) June 29, 2022
Cowell gestured at a couple of Costa Ricans which seemed to start the whole thing, then showed off his speed escaping trouble.
I think we got the better chances -- though with the pen, they may have better xG. We could not impose ourselves on the press, and we got beat up a lot. We better get tougher or Honduras is going to slap us around.
They’d been cheap-shotting and chatting shit to the US players all game. Thé US were wrong to taunt, but I can’t blame them. Costa Rica started it, thé US finished it.
You can see someone get shoved in the back to start it all. I suppose the person could have said something, but their back was to the player who shoved them.
There was also this from earlier... Things are heating up between Costa Rica and USA in the Concacaf U-20 Championship quarterfinals! 🔥 👀 pic.twitter.com/LGIKuuiHEP— FOX Soccer (@FOXSoccer) June 28, 2022
Looking to get a place south of Tamarindo. Semi retired. One of my favorite places in the world. Love the people of CR. Pure Vida! I haven‘t watched this match. Just went through this thread. Maybe I‘ll wait until after PM thread goes on for a while. Happy we are in the WC. All I really wanted. Everything else is great. Not scared or defeatist, I just think the U20WC is super important.
Yeah, the CR #5 chatted shit to Alvarado after he was fouled and on the ground. They were doing shit like this all match.
good point I don’t want to say lazy but he certainly is efficient with his movement and the ball. this will be RSLs job to train him appropriately. looks to me he has outstanding technical skills.
At 10 seconds in that second clip, the dude shoves Cowell, I guess in the back. So I guess post-taunt, but still shoving a dude in the back...
You missed their goalie make 2-3 insane saves that almost had to be pure luck or this would have been a slaughter. If they didn’t have the second coming of Navas playing GK, this would have been over in the first half
Cade is a big boy, I doubt a shove to the back concerns him all that much given they just won and qualified for the U-20 World Cup... he gets a smiling congrats from Aaronson at the end of the clip.
xG of ~1.5 is ridiculous. How do they come up with that stat? The CR keeper made three saves in the 1st half that should have had an xG of 2.0+ all on it's own considering it was already 1-0 at the time.
