This is just unpleasant. Off to watch the second have of RGV v Monterey Bay from deep in the arse of Texas.
The Grenada back line only looks more and more porous as the game goes on. Most of the Grenada players are already gassed at this point.
At this point we're approaching records. The USMNT has only ever scored 8 goals twice: the record win is 8-0 vs Barbados in 2008, and there was an 8-1 result against the Cayman Islands in the 90s.
One USMNT record broken tonight: most goals scored away. The prior record was 6, achieved twice, in a 6-3 win over Haiti in 1968 and a 6-0 victory over St. Vincent & the Grenadines in 2016. The game also ties the St. Vincent result for largest winning margin away.
For me, that's perfect weather for a game, but I might not have the same weather preferences as the average American (I struggle when it's under 70 and generally consider both California and Texas to be cold climates).
World Cup match against Iran didn’t have one either. Point taken though. I’ve noticed this match getting high ratings from some venues that mockingly talked about Berhalter’s “two trophies” last cycle.
You're right, I misquoted the stat. The stat was that there were no active MLS players in the roster (starters+bench) for the first time since the league started. Not that there were no active MLS players in the starting XI.
An 8th minute golazo gives Jamaica a 1-0 lead over Mexico at the Azteca. Let's see how long this lasts.
To say that Jamaica was standing around like statues, defensively, for the previous 5 minutes would be an insult to the mobility of statues. I mean, good grief guys, freaking move your feet!
