2021 National Team Thread [R]

I don't see how Cris Gil can't do better than Joaquin. Gil is in decent form for his club. Joaquin fell off after the GC.

 

Really? He doesn't seem like a winger at all. He doesn't have the pace for it. He seems like a striker just in a rut.

Es posible que juegue contra México en el Estadio Cuscatlán, dependiendo de lo que diga el último estudio que le hicieron médicos del Toronto FC/MLS. pic.twitter.com/Hddh8vjvcL

Well ever since he went back to his club after the GC he’s been coming off the bench. I also think we are seeing how these guys aren’t yet at the level where they can handle competitions like this in such a congested window. Finally USL schedule keeps getting longer and longer so that will be a further test for these guys so worn out legs will be an issue, you see this in MLS which is why scoring goes down a lot right around the playoffs it isn’t just playing conservative.

 

Honestly I was expecting Tamacas to sit he’s been playing with nagging injuries for a long while. They are sitting Orellana for Martinez

Jairo scores we have looked really, really good these first ten minutes.

I'm so ********ing nervous. This win would be historic. So proud so far. Massive.

 

Pineda and Orellana in for Martinez and Jairo. Pineda picks up a yellow oof. Not off to a great start.

 

They tied it up. We looked like they did to start the game.

 

Ceren out Larin in.

 

******** talk about losing composure PK call against us.

 

In less than 15 minutes they turned it around.

 

Bringing in Pineda pretty much took away an entire dynamic the team brings in. You see it all Pineda has done is pick up fouls he should have waited on the subs.

 

Pineda’s form has come down greatly. He seems really out if place.

 

I hope J Perez does something because I question his selection at times

 

This was poor management from Hugo. Too conservative and had his mind in Mexico. We had 3 points. Should have let the game continue and then sub around 60th min. Having said that all players came out flat as hell. This is absolutely brutal to lose. When we were so good in the first half.

 

Why was pineda even called up? Is he even doing good In FAS?

 

Agreed.
