PBP: MLS N&A Running USMNT and other International Games Thread {R}

I may have missed it, but I am guessing broom closet because they tend to put a shot of them if they are on site.

 

I'm using a couple of antennas for fox and univision.

 

I wish the audio was off, so I would not have to listen to Stu Holden.

 

I have turned off the audio for most of the game. I check every 15 mins to see if they fixed the audio. The background noise gives away the game.

 

I have long said you are a wise man, @Gamecock14!

 

Why isn't the Gold Cup doing doubleheaders at World Cup venues?

 

Damn. Everyone knew where the Saudi shot was going and it didn't matter.

 

I thought it was strange to have La Rosa de Guadalupe between Gold Cup matches. I'm just now realizing the next match isn't on Univision. My guide was messing up.

 

The Ticos are up on one of those South American Caribbean teams.

 

Now 2-0

 

Suriname with a nicely headed goal

 

It's a tie game

 

Suriname is about to have a penalty.

 

Suriname now have the lead.

 

Loving this Surinamese comeback. Hopefully they can hold on.

BTW, starting a review and, as best as possible, listing online sources on the Gold Cup kits if anyone is interested.

And now Costa Rica has tied it up.

 

That shot that just hit the post made me shout.

 

This will be an interesting review.

 

It looks like the ref got it right. Outside the box.

 

Brutal for Suriname. They gave up another penalty very late into stoppage.

 

Costa Rica use being down to 10 to their advantage and pull out a win late into stoppage.

 

That works if you're in or close to the US.

 

Close, but no cigar for Suriname Sunday night/Monday morning. Depth can be a major factor for smaller nations, so it will be interesting to see how the team bounce back against Mexico in their next contest.

Dominican Republic had a nice showing Saturday against Mexico in the Gold Cup opener too.

 

Suriname's citizenship laws recently changed to allow an odd sort of dual citizenship a short time ago (like in the last five years). It's a specific sports passport designed to appeal to Dutch nationals with Surinamese heritage.

 

5 goals in the first 30 minutes in an empty Dignity Health Park.
