Been there, done that, got the T-Shirt

 

[dirtynine]

They can’t win 2 straight where they were behind in extra time, right?

 

[Joe D Reid]

If the US somehow wins this I’m not turning the final on until the 85th minute. Fool me thrice, I’m officially a dummy.

 

[Catcher Block]

Sands looks like someone in the early stages of heat exhaustion.

 

[dirtynine]

Just no offensive ideas at this point

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Sands ends every U.S. possession.

 

[speedracer]

just tuning in. Panama are really really good at pass-and-move in tight spaces.

 

[speedracer]

lol 1 minute, not that I’m complaining

 

[Catcher Block]

I Believe in Matt Turner.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Two things I know about Panama.

They have a great fucking canal, and they played a hell of a soccer game tonight.

There’s a lot more guys.

OK now I’m shaking for real.

 

[67YAZ]

Holy crap. I just finished my first 7v7 match in a year, spent all of it getting flamed by a former NWSL & Mexican national team player, and now the US is in PKs??? Helluva night.

 

[67YAZ]

And the Fire are up 3-0. What a night.

 

[JOBU]

Fuck

 

[speedracer]

welp

 

[ThePrideofShiner]

Well...

 

[67YAZ]

Bad take.

 

[Catcher Block]

He never picked his head up. Keeper moved so early to that corner.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Perfect dive height on that one from Ferreira.

 

[JOBU]

ballsy there

 

[speedracer]

guy dove early all 3 times, just panenka him every time

 

[67YAZ]

Unstoppable. Boom.

 

[JOBU]

Yes

 

[67YAZ]

That was one of the worst fakes I’ve ever seen. Ouch.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

That hesitation is the dumbest move any penalty taker can do.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Miazga

 

[Catcher Block]

Gotta say I had Sands-level faith in Miazga there.

 

[ThePrideofShiner]

I thought that was going wide.

 

[67YAZ]

Miazga finally goes something good and then immediately acts like an asshole.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

I was rooting for Waterman there.

 

[67YAZ]

Love the long, straight run up.

 

[JOBU]

Fuck

 

[speedracer]

ooof. poor placement

 

[ThePrideofShiner]

I blame @rguilmar

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

The guy dives straight to the right every shot guys.

 

[Catcher Block]

Turner had no chance.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

It's tough to win multiple shootouts in a single tourney.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Well deserved. Bummed but it’s the right result.

 

[dirtynine]

Happy for you @trekfan55 !

 

[67YAZ]

Great strike there.

congrats @trekfan55! Your boys played a helluva match.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Except for that dumb hesitation Panama hit bangers every PK.

 

[rguilmar]

I blame @rguilmar

Me too

 

[Catcher Block]

Would love to know if they gave any thought to not having Ferreira go first. He was on fumes and cramping.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Fine with the loss, don't want GGG coming back venerating the C team any more than it needs to be.

edit: Why is Landon eternally soft, stfu dude.

 

[dirtynine]

BEAT MX

 

[Pesky Pole]

The deserving team won tonight. Plus I can’t imagine the US being able to play again on Sunday after two 120 minute games.

 

[Titans Bastard]

Congrats to Panama and @trekfan55. They deserved to advance from this game.

 

[InstaFace]

welp. Panama deserved it. At least they played bravely, unlike Canada.

Go Jamaica.
