HOWWWWWW

 

[DJnVa]

WT actual F???

 

[shawnrbu]

Lol

 

[McBride11]

Flying kick to the head.
Not a red?? Lol

how did that not get in?!

 

[Merkle's Boner]

This game is nuts

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Such a bang bang play, would have taken a lot for Arriola to slow that down enough to find blue sky.

 

[dirtynine]

Mexico could be up 3. But the US has also had maybe the clearest 2-3 chances.

When Hoppe finally scores he’s gonna kick it through the net.

 

[Dummy Hoy]

This game is bananas levels of fun though

 

[DJnVa]

When Hoppe finally scores he’s gonna kick it through the net.

Dude may strip naked and flip off the entire Mexican bench.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Hoppe was looking to fire that on goal at about 150 mph.

 

[Dummy Hoy]

Credit to the ref for keeping the lid on this match so far.

good spot. 29 and overall has control of one of the bigger international derby’s in a final? He’s been impressive

 

[67YAZ]

Acosta is the US MVP in this tournament.

 

[dirtynine]

Is that a USA chant?

 

[coremiller]

Acosta is the US MVP in this tournament.

if not Turner.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Say what you want about Berhalter, but the thing I loved about those 2002-2010 sides was the feeling that they were all willing to run through a brick wall for the team and were never going to be outworked by anyone. This team is giving me that same feeling, and the thought of having that attitude with this talent pool is exciting.

 

[67YAZ]

Vines & Gioacchini don’t even have a full mustache between them.

Well said, +1

 

[shawnrbu]

Pitch invader.

 

[shawnrbu]

Only 3?

 

[McBride11]

Only 3??
How? Haha

But agree on the attitude comments. These kids are giving 110%

 

[dirtynine]

That sky from Busio was the woulda-been-Benny and his Jets II

 

[shawnrbu]

Not even 3.

 

[Ed Hillel]

As exciting a US game as I can remember.

 

[dirtynine]

As exciting a US game as I can remember.

At least in the last 6 weeks

 

[coremiller]

As exciting a US game as I can remember.

it’s been a good game, but it’s not even as good as the nations league final a few weeks ago.’

 

[Jimy Hendrix]

My tactical analysis right now is “Wheeeee!”

My prediction is Dike howitzer for the win in minute 114.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

This shouldn't actually be a corner, which would make it glorious if we score.

 

[coremiller]

Acosta heard everyone’s requests for an olimpico.

 

[speedracer]

Somebody's def gotta try for an Olimpico on this pitch

.

 

[Clears Cleaver]

I’m not sure either team can actually score even if this goes to penalties...

 

[Titans Bastard]

Acosta has been SO good defensively.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Uh-oh.

Eh, looks like a knock to the kneecap. Painful bun not damaging.

 

[teddykgb]

Would have liked to have seen Dike by now. Starting Zardes was the right call but give that tired back line a unit to deal with

 

[dirtynine]

Yeah, that last sub is looking large. Zardes has been really good to my eyes, but fresh legs would be useful now.

 

[Titans Bastard]

Yeah, that last sub is looking large. Zardes has been really good to my eyes, but fresh legs would be useful now.

I believe there's a sixth sub for extra time

 

[dirtynine]

Chant warning.

 

[67YAZ]

However this match ends, this tournament has been a success for the USMNT. The B- team came in, fought their way to the final where they went toe to two with Mexico’s A team.

but go win this, boys. They got this.

 

[dirtynine]

I believe there's a sixth sub for extra time

Ah thx. For some reason I thought the US was down to 1.

 

[dirtynine]

I mean, if it goes to kicks… advantage U.S.?

 

[SoxFanInCali]

I'll go to war with Shaq Moore anytime.

 

[67YAZ]

Zardes is spent. Has he run 12k tonight?

 

[Jimy Hendrix]

My tactical analysis right now is “Wheeeee!”

My prediction is Dike howitzer for the win in minute 114.

yuuuuuup

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Long balls look pretty interesting right now, not in and of themselves but the second ball has consistently been up for grabs in the middle of the field.

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

Acosta was amazing in that 15. Puncher's chance in this one, for sure.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Too bad Gyasi couldn't have gotten some height on that.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Wish we had someone to bomb long throws into the box in those situations. From throw-in in the final 3rd to a free kick the other way in a dangerous spot.

 

[dirtynine]

Acosta, Hoppe, Robinson and Turner have separated themselves. They should all be involved in qualifying.

 

[canderson]

HOLY SHIT YES!

 

[SoxFanInCali]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
