FireFox Posted 21 May 2016 Author Posted 21 May 2016 Timings of the games are silly for people in EuropeTrue, but I bet Walsh will be staying up late to find a steering wheel that we can needle through the village.
Jordan Posted 3 June 2016 Posted 3 June 2016 Kicks off tonight with USA vs Colombia. There but for the grace of God go we.
Detroit Blues Posted 3 June 2016 Posted 3 June 2016 Kicks off tonight with USA vs Colombia. There but for the grace of God go we. I'm honestly just killing time until kickoff. 7 more hours...
FireFox Posted 4 June 2016 Author Posted 4 June 2016 FS1. I hate you. Not only did it go to 0-2 at first when they scored, but I'm pretty sure the video is delayed a second or so more than the commentary is. (I heard them say it went in before I saw it go in.)
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 4 June 2016 Posted 4 June 2016 Do America not have a better goalie than Guzan?

FireFox Posted 4 June 2016 Author Posted 4 June 2016 A bit harsh of a pen. USA don't look too bad though overall. This game might be lost but still think we can get out of the group.
Detroit Blues Posted 4 June 2016 Posted 4 June 2016 That penalty was bullshit. Yedlin has his head turned. No way he intentionally touched that ball.
filbertway Posted 4 June 2016 Posted 4 June 2016 USA are giving a master class in chipping the ball out for a goal kick. For a 0 2 game, this is so boring.
FireFox Posted 4 June 2016 Author Posted 4 June 2016 A bit harsh of a pen. USA don't look too bad though overall. This game might be lost but still think we can get out of the group.Eh. Poor 2nd half. We're fvcked and clueless.
Jaspa Posted 4 June 2016 Posted 4 June 2016 Columbia knew they'd got this from around the 60th minute, got very leggy in possession in their own half and the Yanks shouldve got at least one goal from the lapses in defence. Quite impressed with the Cocaine boys at the start of the second half though; reminded me of us how they sat back with two banks of four, heavily pressing and hitting the counter. Alternated between that and a 4-3-3 that England tried but used an actual winger in Cuadrado to stretch play.
Jordan Posted 4 June 2016 Posted 4 June 2016 Colombia weren't at their swashbuckling best (they haven't been since 2014, to be fair), but their defense was well-organized. USA showed no verve on attack, and the way Dempsey was up front with Wood and Zardes looked just like England's front three vs Portugal. There was so much space between Wood and Zardes, and if that's going to happen, somebody needs to make a run from the midfield, but that never happened because Bedoya is woeful. The two friendlies and today also show this team is much more dynamic when Nagbe and Pulisic are playing. What a boring game. Maybe the three on tap today will provide more excitement.
ScouseFox Posted 4 June 2016 Posted 4 June 2016 looking forward to this, i'm working nights all next week so hopefully there's some good 3am games or some shit to keep me entertained in work. ooooh brazil vs haiti one day. get in. could be a close contest, that
FireFox Posted 4 June 2016 Author Posted 4 June 2016 This pitch looks awful. In 11 minutes, Paraguay already looks better than the USA.
Aus Fox Posted 4 June 2016 Posted 4 June 2016 So little quality in this, can't believe it's a major international tournament.
Jordan Posted 4 June 2016 Posted 4 June 2016 So little quality in this, can't believe it's a major international tournament.I know it's not been the most inspiring of starts, but maybe wait until more than three halves have been played before making your stupid comments.
filbertway Posted 4 June 2016 Posted 4 June 2016 I'd disagree, the technique most of these players have is brilliant. Its like watching a game of two teams of knockaert's.
Aus Fox Posted 4 June 2016 Posted 4 June 2016 I know it's not been the most inspiring of starts, but maybe wait until more than three halves have been played before making your stupid comments. Calm down, than standard of football has been poor. No real quality, so far. Why jump to insults? Am I wrong? Even if I am, any need for going over the top?
Jordan Posted 4 June 2016 Posted 4 June 2016 Calm down, than standard of football has been poor. No real quality, so far. Why jump to insults? Am I wrong? Even if I am, any need for going over the top? Have you ever watched a first slate of group stage matches in a "major international tournament" before?
Aus Fox Posted 4 June 2016 Posted 4 June 2016 Have you ever watched a first slate of group stage matches in a "major international tournament" before? Many times and I stand by my comment the standard here has been poor. Can you seriously say that I am wrong? Why getting so defensive and argumentative over it?
FireFox Posted 4 June 2016 Author Posted 4 June 2016 Harsh red. Good result for USA. In our own hands now.
