need to bring back cuauhtemoc just to take penalties. tbh I feel like I knew we would miss both this penalty and the one in the nations league final, they look very insecure and nervous leading up to it. how can we not have a one person who is a lock for this?
tbh I really hate that stutter step they do. If they are not an elite penalty taker they are pretty much telepathically announcing where they are going to kick to the goalkeeper. It was so easy to see that Salcedo was not going to switch up. Just kick it hard and low to the corner or if you really suck kick it hard and low to the middle. If you look at how Orbelin kicked it, it was night and day dude literally had the goalie bite early and was able to smoothly switch up his shot.
Dude thought he was going to do a Panenka campanita like Zizou against GiGi in the WC Final but ended with egg on his face like Ponchito Gonzalez versus Chivas.
I saw on Snapchat story that this girl I know (chicana, no mexicana de México) was at the game last night laughing when they delayed the game because of the chants. It’s idiots like this that will mess things up in the future for El Tri
Mexico's defense is really lacking. "b-but but they only scored against them 1 this whole tournament." That's because the level of CONCACAF is horrid. They're going to suffer if they don't change things up against better teams.
I probably missed it but why did Salcedo out of all people took that 2nd PK? Pineda or Funes More should have yanked the ball away from that hot headed scrub.
I feel like, more often than not, when a guy takes the ball to take a penalty and doesn't let anyone else take it despite not being the designated taker, they miss and they end up looking like dickheads.
Not excusing the lack of having a set PK taker but some coaches feel like the person who wants to take it feels the most confident and thus is the one with the best chance of scoring. But Salcedo hesitated with his stutter step. Dude was far from confident. Bitch ass running on the fumes of his bayern munich performance from last december
I'm in agreement with the analysis below but this was a good game and glad we could bring that intensity against your team. Like Herdman said after the game, "some boys became men" after that game See you in WCQ* Some final #CanMNT thoughts with @KristianJack 🧠"I'm privileged to watch a lot of football games, and I'll say this; Mexico rarely ever gets tested like that. Mexico don't get played like that by teams in this region."WATCH (FULL REACTION) ▶https://t.co/Eilpss9VfQ pic.twitter.com/UsVMBWLQHq— OneSoccer (@onesoccer) July 30, 2021 *Quite possible we make you play in Calgary this November at ATCO Field - forecast?
