2021 Gold Cup: CONCACAF AF

[DJnVa]

I mean, that's a dive.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Funes Mori sucks (both of them).

 

[dirtynine]

MX is less intimidating when they’re not wearing green.

 

[DJnVa]

Field only 69 yards wide, instead of normal 75.

 

[speedracer]

Narrow field has to be an advantage for USA, yeah?

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Hoppe taking no shit.

 

[dirtynine]

Crazy that a modern stadium would be built without being able to accommodate a FIFA-regulation surface.

 

[Titans Bastard]

The USMNT looks physically up for this.

 

[DJnVa]

Crazy that a modern stadium would be built without being able to accommodate a FIFA-regulation surface.

More to the point, why award the game to it?

That stadium isn't very far off The Strip, don't think they had much extra room to make it any larger than it is.

 

[67YAZ]

Matt Turner!

 

[DJnVa]

Mexico, you're the prohibitive favorite, stop whining.

FAKE EDIT: TURNER!

 

[dirtynine]

So corners are gonna be extra interesting with this shorter field.

Also: Turner!

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

 

[Dummy Hoy]

Matt Turner is dope.

 

[67YAZ]

Acosta is nonstop in working refs. Love to have that guy on your team. Hate to play against that asshole.

 

[Dummy Hoy]

I remember going to the 2017 final at the 49ers stadium, which was supposed to be US-Mexico until El Tri choked away the semifinal to Jamaica. The crowd was a mix of no-shows and Mexico fans that came out to boo the US anyways.

Hilarious…rough estimate on number of Mexican fans that showed?

 

[Jimy Hendrix]

Wouldn’t be CONCACAF if something didn’t happen to give us like 8min of first half stoppage time.

Hope Williamson is okay.

glad to see they’re taking head trauma seriously. At least in this moment.

 

[dirtynine]

We are going to hear some loud P—— chants tonight.

 

[McBride11]

This is the Raiders stadium? Is it real grass or overlaid grass?

The super narrow field is weird enough

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Hilarious…rough estimate on number of Mexican fans that showed?

Probably 10K or so. Certainly more Mexico fans there than Jamaican ones.

The other thing that seems weird looking back is the final was mid-week. I remember my nephew and I heading there after work, killing a 6 pack on CalTrain from SF to the light rail transfer station, about a 45 minute trip or so.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Funes Mori sucks (both of them).

 

[dirtynine]

Mexico is going to have like 80% possession tonight. I guess I knew that, but it’s annoying to see it unfold.

Love it.

It’s a mindset.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

OMG

 

[Preacher]

How do you miss that?!!

 

[canderson]

Jesus Christ

 

[DJnVa]

JFC. Bury that.

 

[McBride11]

Omg Arriola. Finish that!!!

 

[luckiestman]

That was awful

 

[McBride11]

Lletget with a wonderful play. Arriola just ruined it

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Always fun watching every Mexico player lean against a US player, fall down, and get a call.

 

[dirtynine]

Hey, no chant on that goal kick. Pleasant surprise.

 

[Jimy Hendrix]

Bello doing a real job so far as they try to pick on him with Tecatito

 

[luckiestman]

The is is an ass kicking. Good guys need to get it together

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Turner doing a nice imitation of Howard against Belgium so far.

 

[Dummy Hoy]

Sweet pass from Lletget

 

[McBride11]

Hector Moreno is only 33? Feels like been hearing his name forever

 

[SoxFanInCali]

There's going to be like 9 minutes of stoppage time.

 

[Jimy Hendrix]

I’ve seen Mexico kick our asses. It doesn’t look like 0 - 0 41 minutes in.

I’m not sure if we’ve been decent albeit outgunned or if I just have Matt Turner Madness right now.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Ooh, Hoppe almost snuck that in.

 

[McBride11]

This may have been brought up prior - but wtf are these purple kits? Why not green

Adidas likes screwing with their kits as much as Nike does with ours.

Sometimes it looks like the US up a goal or two in the first half

 

[67YAZ]

Zardes has put in a shift already. He’s been working hard.

 

[luckiestman]

This guy Robinson seems very good; cleaning up a lot of junk in front of the net.

 

[Jimy Hendrix]

We get one of these bright transition chances falling to anyone but Arriola, we’ve got a stew going.

 

[speedracer]

For about 10 minutes Mexico resorted to hoofing the ball out the back, that's gotta be a good sign
