If USA gets by Argentina, it could be a rematch with Columbia in the final!!!

I'd actually like our chances.

With what I've seen from Columbia and what I've seen from Chile, hard to imagine Columbia winning

It would have been cancelled by now imo, the corruption news came out awhile ago but no changes so I think it is safe to say it will be done there. Hurray slave labor and 100+ degree games!

I don't think it will be 100+ degrees. They are moving the tournament from June/July to Nov/December.

 

[handicappers]

Wow, you're pretty consumed with me.

That said, wow. Not surprised Chile won (they did win Copa last year), but they absolutely dominated Mexico, which I did not expect on Mexico's "home" soil.

Did I overrate Mexico? Clearly. But they were coming in with a 22 game unbeaten streak including a 1-0 defeat of Chile in January. And the oddsmakers had Mexico as narrow favorites - and those dudes know more than anyone.

That said, this type of loss sets teams back. The US advanced further by defeating a solid S. American team which only adds fuel to this fire.

Stunning ass whooping, I loved it.

The only reason Chile won last year is because one of their players finger banged Cavani's butt hole on the field, making Cavani throw an elbow at the Chilean , thus getting him his second yellow. Chili were going to lose to Uruguay before that happened.

One thing I hate about South American teams is their constant flopping, faking injury and downright bad sportsmanship. It's sickening.

Is that actually going to happen?

Likelihood of a border war final is high - Argentina vs Chile.
BUT, if Team USA somehow upsets Argentina on US soil... OLE! OLE! OLE-OH!

 

[bksballer89]

Kinda wish the game started earlier.

Is that actually going to happen?

I remember reading in a recent "World Soccer" magazine that it was. Something about the dates being between THanksgiving and Christmas. Bunch of Leagues around the world all up in arms because of the club season issue.

This schedule also won't clash with the Summer Olympics that year.

THe final is scheduled for December 18th on "Qatar National Day" if I remember correctly.

No Vidal tomorrow for Chile. That hurts a lot for them.

 

[TheRobotDevil]

[MrFlyingV]

Why play such a big game on a crappy field in Houston?

Dear lord. Is there anything more awkward than the sexual tension between Fernando and Alexi?

 

[romeo212000]

Just saw Wondo starting.

 

[podsox]

Wish this was the semi in Chicago.

 

[romeo212000]

Pathetic defense and goal keeping.
