I'm conflicted. Honduras always plays us dirty and talks shit so it would have been nice to kick them out. The nads and their media are arrogant snobs. Hopefully Australia wins XD
Still, for the guys celebrating the US being eliminated don't discard FIFA using the same tactics they used on us in 1990 and taking out Panama claiming out their goal shouldn't have counted.
There is one truth that cleared for me, like the sun shining down as clouds part after a rainy day: melenas like Mexico and dislike the US. I feel bad for the nads.
Guys, don't get too happy with qualifying for the wc. Mark my words: we are going to be 3 and out, or at most, one and done, again, being goleados in 4th game. But I am confident we won't qualify to next round. Just think about who our coach is and what he does. If you need more proof, just look at today's game. How about dem changes he does? Has worked out brilliantly thus far, no?
I have no confidence in Mexico anymore. We play soft, disorganized, and with zero heart or urgency. We play way too fking slow, with zero physicality, and no fking balls except for 1-2 players. Its always the same stupid back passing, slow decision making, and shitty fking crosses across the field that never succeed. The terrible defending has not been fixed and its sad how its the same 4-8 defenders always getting called up with younger players getting zero shots. Raul Lopez is far better than Gallardo and even Layun yet he gets no real chance to win a spot. Seriously Damm looked way better as a wingback than fkn Salcedo, Gallardo, and even Layun. Gallardo, Ayala, Alanis are complete trash yet they keep getting called up like they are somehow going to transform into good players with time.
I'm already expecting it. This is the worst CONCACAF representation I've seen in quite some time: Mexico: Talented team, dumbass coach. Costa Rica: Not as talented as four years ago, older, not the same coach. Panama: Cannon fodder.
He's having a meltdown because of the stupidity of the Mexican posters that give a shit about a Honduras game where we had no red cards, no injuries and our biggest rival was eliminated. This game was meaningless once we clinched 1st place on friday but people are too stupid to realize it.
Our coach is Trump-like delusional. He does not realize that you cannot have changes of that magnitude from one game to the other when you are only guaranteed to play 3 games. We qualified quite easily because, like you say, of the players we have and the horrid quality of concacaf this year. I am actually excited to see if he can pull the tetra/quad perfection. Copa America...7-0; Confederations... 4-1; Gold Cup 1-0; World Cup...? After WC game 1, Lozano has a great game in the tie vs Egypt. He is benched in game two against England because he needs a taller player.
We just lost to Honduras and he still does not realize what the common denominator is. "I need more CHANGES!"
win/lose vs honduras did not change the outcome and placement of the next world cup stage, losing to Honduras took out the pressure of having our biggest rival in the WC. Is it too farfetched to think that we let them have it? This was our one and only loss, the team was a different team in the 2nd half the first half showed what we really have
Mexico played at 2nd hear. Honduras played it like a wc final. There was no need for us to risk injury. The defense still looks like shit though and it needs to be fixed asap.
You, like Decio de Maria, refuse to see the point. This reply of yours sounds like you are(trying to block dat sun with dat thumb) trying to make yourself believe that we are not headed into that inevitable disaster that awaits us in the world cup. Did you not learn in copa america? Did you not relearn it in confederations? Did you not really relearn it in gold cup? Fourth time's a charm? Ah, that simple bliss. Do you really think it won't happen 4 times in a row? Can I borrow some of dat bliss?
lulz. is this how you justify it? Ah, "we had this planned all along. Nah, that big red oozing spot on the side of my johnson is really just my johnson going through a mood. honestly. it's nothing. it was just relaxing after visiting a colombian whore. it's perfectly normal and natural." Gotcha.
No, It's our players half assing it no excuse, but I don't blame them. Our defensive line has been shit all of Osorios tenure.
WHat?!!! Our defensive woes is what you bring out as the only criticism from Osorio? Dude. It will happen again, for the fourth time, because of what Osorio does to these players. Don't blame the players; they are the ones saving Osorio. We are going to get embarrassed in some moths in Russia. 3 and out, with 3 substantially different lineups. Honestly. What makes you guys think the fourth tournament will be different from the previous 3?
It's the rotations, but a lot of it is the slowness of the defense. Specially with CBs as LBs and RBs. Our attacks is fine. I critizes his inability to fix the defense for whatever that cause may be.
