Gold Cup 21

[Tryamw]

Someone scored. 2-0 Who knows.. so many chances.. Dike header to own goal.

Hoppe is fire.. He's all over the place.

Nice tackle in the box not a penalty. Dike now given the goal.

Moore needed to cross that at 35'

 

[bluesfan94]

Martinique should have done better on that free kick. It was a decent shot but they could have had a free runner to the byline or peeled someone off the wall and had a near post look.

 

[Live in the Now]

I'm not telling anyone anything they don't already know but Dike and Busio are extremely good.

 

[Tryamw]

Mid field has gotten sloppy the last 10-12

 

[Tryamw]

Half time a minute early.. Youtube feed had it at 45:04 so I think FS1 got slow or something. (7:10 kickoff 52:14 end half)

 

[KlausJopling]

Hoppe was very good in the first half. Williamson and Busio started strong but ended with too many turnovers.

 

[Tryamw]

The Midfield started strong but by the end it seemed we lost almost every 50/50 and Busio needs to learn he can't out dribble guys like he can versus younger peeps.

Back to own goal?

 

[Tryamw]

Roldan Saved.

 

[Tryamw]

Robinson! 3-0

Hoppe off at 57

 

[Tryamw]

Dike 2 or Hattrick depending on the flipping coin of own goal 4-0

 

[KlausJopling]

Concacaf defenders can’t handle Dike

 

[Tryamw]

Martinique almost got 1. the US couldn't clear.
Gave up a PK later. 4-1 Acosta was So flat footed you'd think he was planed to get that flat.

 

[Live in the Now]

Dike should start for the A team. He will soon anyway so not much of a proclamation there.

 

[Tryamw]

Zhardes on for Dike.

 

[Tryamw]

Zhardes 5-1!

Gioacchini Just off deflected..

 

[Tryamw]

6-1 Gioachini?(Spelling)

And Game..

 

[kingsboy11]

Taking into consideration the opponent, I'm still happy with the win. Very impressed with Sands, Williamson, Hoppe and Dike tonight and particularly with Sands. Seems like a perfect middle center back in a 3 in the back formation .

 

[Tuggy]

Haiti is totally dominating Canada

Totally.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Totally.

Did you watch the 1st 70 minutes before the red card? Haiti had more shots, more shots on goal and more dangerous chances. They just had no bench due to covid and no stamina. They were better for 70 minutes.

 

[Basement Cat]

Absolutely love that 3-5-2 / 3-4-3 look considering how this roster is constructed. That is by far the best bet to get to the final.

Give me this vs. Canada and I think we win by 1 or 2:

------------Hoppe----------Dike
--------------------Lletget
------------Busio----------Wlliamson
Vines---------------------------------------Moore
-------Robinson----Sands----Zimmerman
----------------------Turner

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

For the next game play the same lineup as last night, but play Cannon, Vines, and Lletget for Moore, Bello, and Roldan.

Yup, if Cannon is good to go, I put him in the above lineup. Whats the latest on him?

Man, Suriname vs Costa Rica is loosey-goosey fun. Both teams defensive positioning looks like a web that a spider constructed on acid.

Went to both games in Orlando yesterday (something to do in a rare day off for me and tickets were only $30). Jamaica-Guadeloupe was a snooze fest but got to see Leon Bailey live who looked good. Costa Rica-Suriname was a back and forth game with Suriname looking better than expected considering their FIFA ranking. They had Ryan Donk playing for them who I swear played for Holland like 10 years ago and their winger (Comvelius, spelling?) looked incredible though when I looked him up he is struggling in the Slovakian league

The issue with CONCACAF right now is a lack of depth outside the big two. Costa Rica and Panama are in decline while I still think it’s too early for the likes of Canada and Jamaica to truly be competitive at a WC level

 

[KlausJopling]

US staying with 3-5-2. Not surprised by Acosta or either other the two other veterans(though I think Hoppe looked really good working with Dike). Cannon still must not be healthy.
