2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup Final - USA vs Mexico, August 1st, 2021

Should have the backup striker spot secured behind Jimenez for qualifiers.

 

I'm not even that upset. Mexico looked like every other team the US faced. Predictable, indecisive and wasteful. Of course a free kick goal was gonna beat Mexico.

Either way, ******** it. If the olympic team win the gold I won't even care to remember this loss. Maybe Lozano can manage the NT better than Tata.

 

i'm... mildly disappointed.

 

Funes Mori was far from our biggest problem.

We got Moreno and Guti getting more NT playtime than club playtime.

And MMLSers like Pizarro, Pulido and Jona who shouldn’t be with the NT.

And Liga MX guys who simply suck like Salcedo and Chaka.

And IMO the biggest disappointment of the tourney, Tecatito. Dude should’ve told Tata he didn’t want to be there and Tata could’ve played a youngster who’d make the most of his opportunity.

 

If we want to play this game...Hugo got fired for WAY LESS...

 

Colidamus better get a day job.

 

Glad the wife and son where born in Spain. Hopefully the little one doesn’t end up rooting for Mexico like his dad… only disappointment and stress.

lmao it ain’t that deep I know… but my God… what an awful team and 2 finals.

 

It’s sad but it’s not really a surprising or earth moving loss, though it’s hard to see how the notoriously knee jerk reaction FMF doesn’t fire Tata. Took Euro talent and failed to win. Brought in someone viewed (right or wrong) as a mercenary who ultimately did not produce at the expense of a beloved player who was in a good moment. Exposed our top player to a brutal injury that could have jeopardized his career (I don’t agree with this line of critique but it’s there). And lastly, lost 2 finals to our biggest rival putting on display the FMF’s failure to support young, home grown players in contrast to the noticeable progress the US has made in player development. This makes him bad for business which is all the FMF cares about.

 

Imagine how easy it is to be a Brazil or Germany fan. It's more fun this way.

 

Jona still has a shot, at least as a sub.

 

Didn't Hugo both lose the Gold Cup and also failed to get the U23 team to qualify to olympics, even though they had supposedly a stacked team at that time?

 

Just root for Spain and see your ass out.

 

Lmao… f*ck off.

 

Pero se llenaron los estadios

 

Efrain Alvarez too, he sucked & did nothing earlier, vs. Trinidad + Tobago, Guatemala, etc

 

Efraín Álvarez has no business on this Mexican National team

 

You first.

 

Hey amigos, feel free to come on over to the #USMNT. We would gladly welcome you to the winning side

 

In this tourney yes, but this summer of loss could impact that in the near future.

 

Spain ain't winning another WC in their lifetime....maybe a Euro...so a conference title...like the Gold Cup...

 

He's young, but he has petardo written all over him.

 

Pues como ya conoces el camino… aver dale.

 

3rd place in Copa America

Was asked to coach an Olympic team he was never involved with...
