Giovinco and Kamara get named to all-star team by coach; congrats to them. And congrats to L.A. Galaxy and FC New York players - who've never played a minute in the league - on getting named to the team. Nope, no politicking going on here, by golly.

Great to see Ousted make it as a coaches pick, too. He's been stellar all season long.

I think I finally figured out why the MLS team in Portland is called the 'Timbers'...my goodness, what a bunch of floppers on that squad.

Also, how does Harvey get the boot for his foul (yellow cardible at best/worst IMO) and Mezquida(?) not even get a talking to for curb-stomping Chara's ankle towards the end?

Harvey's red was very harsh and Mezquida took a page out of the Chris Pronger book. The Bruins' Chara could pick up and place the Timbers' Chara in his shirt pocket.

It was techera with the ankle stomp on chara. Thought it was nothing in real time but the slo mo ... Yikes

Chara kicked out at him too after he rolled around

I was waiting for it after the penalty kicks against Italy.

/That was a fun game.

Italy looked like they had a late night last night in the bronze medal game v russia

Holy shit is CONCACAF corrupt - the ref just awarded a penalty in the 122' of a scoreless draw.

Possibly the French TV5 or Canal+ feed (whoever is showing it there). I remember watching highlights from a Chelsea game on TV5 and the bug said LON.

Geez, Chara certainly made a meal out of that...Sure, I'm biased, but it didn't look all that bad to me.

So maybe this Gold Cup isn't rigged after all.

 

[Slimpikins]

If the US wants to be taken seriously in Soccer, they can't get knocked out of the Gold Cup, by Jamaica, on home turf.

It was like watching the Sharks, I really wanted them to pull it off but I secretly knew they were going to blow the game.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

I didn't watch any of it, did the US field a real team or was it the C team like they normally send to this?
