So, if I looked this up right we haven't beaten Columbia since 2005. Is that right?

easily could be correct.

Fuck that was a dope goal. Crap.

Smart Deandre. Smart.

That after we played a pretty good half after the eighth minute.

Im chuckling a little bit at James Rodriguez (a hundred million dollar player). He falls after no contact, trying to simulate a foul. In the fall (in which, again, there seemed to be no contact and was just him throwing himself to the ground) he seemed to manage to somewhat seriously injure his shoulder like he might have actually dislocated it. After working on him for some time on the sideline they were forced to sub him.

We'll see what is said after the game, but if he dislocated his shoulder simulating a foul that's super, super impressive.

And Klinsi blamed the game on the refs...you'd think he of all people would recognize a more talented team playing in second gear.

Ready for the USA game!

Maybe it's the travel wearing on them but Paraguay looks like a really unathletic team.

The first chance at a goal in over 10 minutes on a counter attack, point blank. How can you miss that shot? I just started watching in the second half. The US is exclusively on the defensive end of the field. They look sloppy and a lack of energy, other than that one drive.

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Sat Jun 11, 2016 5:35 pm

This match is getting really physical. A lot of tackles with contact not being called.

We were down a man essentially the entire second half so you can't take much away from that.

Zardes is the latest iteration of the athletic but low skill American player so it's not exactly surprising that he blew that breakaway.

Really surprised by how bad Paraguay looked. It's depressing to switch back and forth between Euros and Copa games.

The one guy I was really impressed with was John Brooks. I'd never seen him before.

Brooks was shaky as a 20/21 year old be he really seems to be rounding into form which is great news for us.

The other pieces of great news is he's both young (23 I think) and experienced (played in lots of games in German first division in the last three years).

Lol and as I type this, Costa Rica takes the lead!!

Columbia is starting 10 different players than last match. It's like they don't really care much about the match, and more about testing their players and getting experience.

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Sat Jun 11, 2016 6:28 pm

That didn't take long for Columbia to tie the game.

Is there a station playing this in english?

That might be true, but if Columbia loses this match we win the group.

That means playing Peru instead of Brazil in the first knock out match.

Fs2

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Sat Jun 11, 2016 6:35 pm

I was watching the US match in Spanish and then realized the game was on FS1. Started watching the match in the second half and only when I saw it was on FS1 did I know the US was down a player with 2 yellows by Yedlin in a row. That was really stupid and I'm glad he has to sit out the next match.

I was impressed with Guzan too. I'm used to watching Howard as goaltender.

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Sat Jun 11, 2016 6:57 pm

Yes, Columbia just knocked a goal into their own net. I remember another time when a Columbia player did this and he was assassinated. But that was during the World Cup.

MrBug708 · Post by **MrBug708** » Sat Jun 11, 2016 7:05 pm

Brooks and Guzan were nails today. If Zardes had any touch, he'd be our best player. Yedlin's first foul wasn't a card, but we were CONCAF. The second was partly because he slipped and looked worse than it was, but it was a stupid decision by DY

SCCats · Post by **SCCats** » Sat Jun 11, 2016 7:23 pm

Columbia goes oh shit! Get the good players out there!!

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Sat Jun 11, 2016 7:38 pm

Yes!! Costa Rico is in control. That was a really good goal. Columbia is in trouble. Looks good for the US playing Peru instead of Brazil. Still a lot of soccer to play though.

SCCats · Post by **SCCats** » Sat Jun 11, 2016 7:45 pm

Perckerman...ten f'ing changes from your typical starting lineup for this game???!

Wow big mistake.

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Sat Jun 11, 2016 7:52 pm

Really good passing and Columbia scored a goal. This is a really good match.

CalStateTempe · Post by **CalStateTempe** » Sat Jun 11, 2016 7:53 pm

Columbia really wants to avoid brazil.

My comcast lineup doesn't have FS2

CalStateTempe · Post by **CalStateTempe** » Sat Jun 11, 2016 8:14 pm

That CR v Columbia game was crazy.

SCCats · Post by **SCCats** » Sat Jun 11, 2016 8:14 pm

Lol Columbia

First time Costa Rica has beat Columbia in 36 years apparently

Huge mistake from peckerman

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Sat Jun 11, 2016 8:15 pm

Yes!!! Costa Rico defeats Columbia and the US wins group A. They are going to play in Seattle on Thursday at 5:30 pm MST. Hopefully it is Peru.

In soccer, Im not sure that means much though. How many times have they played in that span, 4?

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Sat Jun 11, 2016 8:44 pm

I think the odds are the US plays Ecuador since they play Haiti. Not sure what happens if Brazil ties Peru. Ecuador could win the group and Brazil goes home. My guess is we play Ecuador and Peru goes home.

SCCats · Post by **SCCats** » Sat Jun 11, 2016 9:01 pm

It'll be interesting to see if Brazil tries to throw their match and finish second in their group

SCCats · Post by **SCCats** » Sat Jun 11, 2016 9:35 pm

Apparently man of the match for Brooks. Well deserved.

so Brazil loses but still wins the group and we get Ecuador in the knock outs?

Weird road but if that's it I'll take it.

Brazil is gone. Peru won the group and Ecuador finished 2nd

Yeah they hadn't updated the group right after the game...that's amazing. Couldn't hold off Peru and Ecuador. GG Brazil!

Ecuador is going to be tough. Going to need our back line to be top notch. If Brooks once again is the man of the match, I like USA's chance!

Did Brazil even care about this tournament? Give they're hosting the Olys, I assume that's the one they want this summer, in spite of being a youth tournament.

Not clear to me that anyone other than Argentina, the US and Mexico want to be here.

How do you guys like our chances tonight against Ecuador?

azgreg · Post by **azgreg** » Thu Jun 16, 2016 8:05 pm

I guess our chances are pretty good since we're up 2-0 at the 70 min mark.

azgreg · Post by **azgreg** » Thu Jun 16, 2016 8:10 pm

I might have spoken too soon. 2-1

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Thu Jun 16, 2016 8:43 pm

Well the US won but about 1/2 the team is ineligible for the semi-final game due to fouls.

Frybry02 · Post by **Frybry02** » Thu Jun 16, 2016 9:28 pm

Unbelievable. Disappointed that jones had major mental lapse and is now unavailable in the semis. I thought he was the best player on the field until he threw that weak as punch.

Pretty sure the card reset after the group stage, other than Yedlin being on a red and out last night, right?

This victory didn’t come without a cost. Though the U.S. will have DeAndre Yedlin back from his red card for the semis, three other players will be forced out of action – Jones by virtue of his red, and midfielder Alejandro Bedoya and forward Bobby Wood (who was a whirling dervish at times in this match) as a result of netting their second yellow cards.

TucsonClip · Post by **TucsonClip** » Fri Jun 17, 2016 1:34 pm

Gotcha. I don't like Bedoya anyway. Losing Wood is meh too. Jones is a huge blow though.
