2015 Gold Cup

[handicappers]

2nd half observations

1) Aside from the goal and about two other chances, they were still technically horrid.

2) Same bull shit giveaways.

3) Guzan saved our asses multiple times.

4) Brooks put in some solid work after a bad first half.

5) Johnson needs to get more involved in the attack.

6) I'm not feeling good about our chances at winning this thing.

Overall grade: C-

Hey Romeo.

Ah, handicappers is about shtick. Attempting to be the tried and true post board contrarian clown. You're not even clever at that.

Ha, you get all that from a discussion about Jozy Altidore, Doc? I appreciate your clinical absurdity, but if you'd like to learn a little bit about the beautiful game, stick around. Got an EPL fantasy league starting soon, maybe you'd like to join. You'll have to leave the sass at the door, tho.

Know how to tell who is the least knowledgable guy in the room? It's the guy bloviating about how much knowledge he has to everyone around him.

lol, you're the one that said I didn't have soccer knowledge. So yeah, you were bloviating.

There's a difference between calling a blowhard out and bloviating. Now others in here are already starting to catch on as well.

Don't feed the halfwit....

Jozy Altidore dropped from gold cup roster.

Jozy Altidore dropped from gold cup roster.

He obviously was not close enough to form to help the team. I have no problem with this.

I agree, he wasn't in form. Zardes, Dempsy, and Johansen should be able to get the job done.

I think we should play Bradley forward more. He's good at creating chances and isn't that good of a defensive mid. But it who am I to question Jurgen!

We need a #6 badly. Bradley can play holding mid, but like you said, he's not much help to the center backs. Beckerman is just a liability. He actually played well in Brazil, but he's reverted to form since.

Good. He never should have been on the roster in the first place.

 

[romeo212000]

Good. He never should have been on the roster in the first place.

Based on his form recovering from injury, you're probably right. However, he deserved a chance to show he wasn't fit, and he wasn't. Moving on.

Would you rather have a us/Mex final or us/costa rica final

 

[ckhokie]

You weren't being sarcastic, you didn't even know that Chicharito was out.

What are you talking about? Of course I knew he was out. We all discussed him being out here prior to the GC even starting...

Believe it or not, some of us actually follow soccer.

 

[ckhokie]

What's more surprising to me than Jozy being dropped (as he should be) is that they're bringing up Old Man Beas

That guy is a complete numb nuts when it comes to soccer, Hokie.

Dude can still do work at left back.

 

[wildturkey]

Beasley is basically the Walking Dead. He cannot be stopped. He just keeps coming

Costa Rica. That would mean Mexico didn't make the final and even more salt in their wounds.
