2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup

You'd sure think so. It's been a while since we had a young kid with his poise and touch. Last one was probably Dempsey back in 2006.

This tournament has been his coming out. Wondo has scored a bunch of goals, but Carona has looked like the best player on the field for us every game so far. Which is great news for us, considering there really hasn't been a clear cut player to replace Deuce yet.

What bothers me most about watching Beckerman is how much he always seems to slow the game down. He will keep possession, but he's not going to speed up the play or hit a guy who's flashing, ever.

Nope. Dude just isn't in the class to be playing for the national team. He's a guy you put in cdm when you need to hold the ball and protect the lead. That's it.

We're starting to get some real chances. This game could be 5-1

Carona has just been creating so many chances.

You've gotta be fucking kidding me. That's an awful call at furst look.

The salvadorian keeper has been incredible.

 

[apachef4]

Meh, maybe...

Either way it was reckless from Beasley.

 

[ckhokie]

That's exactly the type of finish you'd expect from a smug central american

Either way it was reckless from Beasley.

At worst, it was obstruction, which is an indirect and not a PK. At this level, though, they never call obstruction.

He's just been making plays other guys on the field can't. I will be excited to see him with the first team.

 

[apachef4]

Still not a key, Gus...

Fun Fact: my older brother hooking up with Heather Mitts back in high school. If his wife didn't turn out to be so good looking, I would have never let him live it down.

 

[apachef4]

El Salvador coming out on the attack in the 2nd half. A couple good opportunities already.

 

[ckhokie]

That would have been a sick finish

 

[romeo212000]

Keep me updated. Gotta go pick up my wife from the airport.

 

[ckhokie]

El Salvador's goalie continuing to keep them in it.

 

[apachef4]

Eddie Johnson in for Wondo.

 

[ckhokie]

WELCOME TO THE GAME EDDIE
