Pre-match: 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup Group Stage: USA vs Trinidad and Tobago

At that time? Horrible. The worst in MLS. He had 2 inches vertical leap on that goal. That was basically a flop.

 

But how can you ignore the great drinking game he gives us every time he says "between the lines"?

 

What if Zardes scores an accidental upper 90 ripper after botching a back pass?

 

Better yet botching kicking the ball into a defender to get a corner.

 

Hey I’m sorry I’ll try to do better

 

Nah, they need to photoshop in a water fountain....

 

It wasn't just a vertical save. It hugged the outside post.

Based on seeing it several times, you're clueless.

 

He had 3 inches horizontal leap. Total flop. Keep on watching it, it makes your arguments stronger.

 

He hustles, all game. Has no real finishing quality but gets goals somehow; once in a while. And we are forcing one of our best 3 players, a midfielder, to RB while we watch our midfield get torched game after game? The answer may be right in front of Beerholder. Zardes to RB.

 

You like to argue semantics rather than broad points - that’s usually what one does when they don’t have the benefit of the facts on one’s side.

We were underwhelming in the Hex and finished 5th and missed Russia when we really should never be worse than 2nd in CONCACAF.

Instead you want to argue about whether there were points during the Hex that the team wasn’t underwhelming.

Way to miss the forest through the trees.

 

From Panama getting granted a phantom goal to the amazing lob that became Gonzo's own goal, from the goal rebounding back of the head of Memo Ochoa to go in to the penalty not given to the Ticos in the last minute, that day we were Adu-like unlucky, because the region is so bad even a crappy team like ours last cycle should have made it.

 

OfficeSpace and StormTrooper are 2 posters made for each other; good stuff. I suppose we will eventually find out they are the same person, but still fun for the time being.

 

It was a day to remember!

 

what's that? Running around with a skill deficiency?

 

Has anyone seen a line up?

 

Yeah, you're delusional.

 

Yeah, it's semantics that the guy I quoted responded to my post with a completely different statement than the one I quoted.

I guess accurately describing one's statement is now considered semantics.

 

This is funny because I literally had the facts on my side. That's why @Deep Wilcox had to change what he said after the fact.

But keep it up.

 

Yes, because he said we were underwhelming the entire time which is not true.

It's so not true that he changed what he said after the fact.

You are doing the same dishonest thing which is your MO.

 

Most of the other decent teams in this Gold Cup played games in South America to prepare for the Gold Cup (Trinidad and El Salvador went to Japan instead; Mexico finished last year in Tata's land).

We stayed comfy at home. Now they got the eye of the tiger and we've lost it. Reminds me of...

 

Sometimes a poster, with a very different slant on things than my own thoughts, makes a compelling argument that makes me reconsider my opinions. You are not that kind of poster. Remember "In the Net"? You are more like that.

 

Lineup normally released one hour before kick off. Should be available around 7 pm eastern time.

 

Since there seems to be a couple who want to continue to harp on the long range goal down in TNT here is the video.

I am a huge fan of Timmy's.
I played keeper for a long long time.
Timmy should have saved that. Watch his feet when the shot is first taken. Its not that he couldn't get enough push off when he leaps to reach the shot. The problem is he didn't move his feet to the right. The proper move there was a full step slide to the right before leaping. Sorry but Timmy should have had that.

Sometimes when a poster says one thing and then that thing is refuted, they try to change what they said.

You are exactly like that.

 

Gotcha. We disagree. Since this is N&A I'm going to check out of this conversation with you.
