I know much has been made of this already, but Leo's defensive work has been so much improved this year. That was some great tracking back right there

What on earth is that yellow card for?

I don’t know how that’s not a handball.

But who even knows what a handball is anymore.

Yeah, garbage no call. See my earlier comment about what this ref looks like.

Baker off, A. Roldán on at half

overly_sarcastic@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

I thought this was a joke, but my man really just went from the US match to this. That’s hilarious.

Wait - do I have my Roldan’s mixed up?

coys25@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y

CR was in San Diego; AR with the sounders in San Jose

What is that yellow for Chu? Is there some kind of quota that needs to be met tonight?

MrJukes@lemmy.secondpartysoftware.com · 3 pts · 3y

My guess would be dissent

overly_sarcastic@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

I love the USMNT, Sounders double header.

Too bad US got knocked out. Though, I’m glad we’ll get Jordan and Alex back soon.

overly_sarcastic@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

That’s a harsh yellow.

MrJukes@lemmy.secondpartysoftware.com · 2 pts · 3y

This ref looks like somebody who would get called to VAR on an obvious error and stand with his decision

Well, everyone, that was indeed a match that happened. Thanks for joining and hopefully better results to come on Saturday. I'll make a thread but will be at the match as many of you may also be?

MrJukes@lemmy.secondpartysoftware.com · 3 pts · 3y

They need to bring the zamboni out. Looks a bit slippery out there

coys25@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

Heber and Nico just not on the same page at the moment.

coys25@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

Baker has a decent long throw, at least distance wise.

coys25@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y (2 replies)

How are we all watching tonight? Me: probably on a phone for the first half while putting the kid to bed, then at home on the couch.

Brave defending by Baker again. Continues to impress.

MrJukes@lemmy.secondpartysoftware.com · 2 pts · 3y

I wish he was more offensive like Alex. Whenever he gets the ball he seems to pass it backwards.

overly_sarcastic@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

You know he’s a youngin because he doesn’t hesitate to just sacrifice his body.

HumiliationsGalore@wirebase.org · 3 pts · 3y

Foooooock

coys25@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

Welp. Not much to do about that one.

coys25@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

What a tackle from Obed at the top of the box!

coys25@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y (2 replies)

Who are the announcers for this match? Keith Costigan and who else? I've actually enjoyed the commentary. It's nice to have announcers who talk about what's happening on the pitch and provide some tactical insight instead of blathering on about Messi or other random topics.

HumiliationsGalore@wirebase.org · 1 pts · 3y

Agreed, decent chemistry between the two. You can tell Costigan doesn't despise him like he does Twellman

MrJukes@lemmy.secondpartysoftware.com · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

No Obed...that doesn't look good

coys25@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

He looks to be moving ok, thank goodness

overly_sarcastic@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

That was slick by Héber. He pulled three defenders away from the center, too bad we didn’t make anything of that.

overly_sarcastic@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y (2 replies)

One of these days a pass to Héber will work.

coys25@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

I see a Nelson Valdez situation coming on. Snakebit all year in front of goal, then bang em in during the playoffs.

Did the announcer just say we’d have Morris and Roldán back for this Saturday?

coys25@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y (2 replies)

He said maybe - I guess it could happen? They just played in San Diego, and the rest of the team is playing in San Jose. Not too much of a difference recovery or travel-wise.

overly_sarcastic@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y (1 reply)

I suppose you’re right. Funny coincidence that they are all in SoCal right now.

Gotta keep it close here and see if we can toss on Raul and Alex in the second half to make a difference . Maybe around 60'?

Also, how is that not at least a yellow card. The 5' 11" RBW has a cut over the top of his eye. Seems like a high boot by definition

It's got to be dangerous play.

coys25@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y (4 replies)

USMNT - Panama coming down to the wire... 1-1 entering 2nd extra time period. Roldan took a knock to the head. Hope he's ok after that long concussion rehab. JMo with the assist on Ferreira's tying goal on a beautifully directed header from a long ball.

coys25@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y (3 replies)

Jordan makes, Cristian misses for USMNT... Feel bad for Cristian as that knocks the USA out. I hope he can turn off the social media mentions for a while as this is really going to rev up the trolls.

HumiliationsGalore@wirebase.org · 1 pts · 3y (2 replies)

At least Ferreira missed too, hopefully that mitigates the hate

coys25@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

He also plays in MLS, so I doubt it unfortunately...

HumiliationsGalore@wirebase.org · 1 pts · 3y

Cristian seems to get a disproportionate amount of USMNT hate for some reason

overly_sarcastic@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

That’s probably the match.

overly_sarcastic@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

Lodeiro rightfully upset about that. He made a perfect setup and Héber was just no where to be found.

coys25@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

Huh. Maybe we can grab a cheap pen here?

Oh, it’s that guy with the concussion ward around his neck.

Ebobisie? What is that thing? Looks like a sharper image personal neck AC thing.

overly_sarcastic@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

I don’t actually know. I’ve only hear that it is allegedly something that allegedly helps prevent concussions. One of those weird alternative medicine things I guess.

HumiliationsGalore@wirebase.org · 1 pts · 3y (1 reply)

They're supposed to adjust blood pressure to the brain to prevent concussions... or some shit like that

coys25@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

interesting - the "Q-collar". FDA-approved but who knows if it works. There was an article about it in the New York Times - apparently it compresses the veins that return blood from the brain a little bit to try to keep more blood in the brain to act as a cushion against concussions. But the research seems pretty sparse.
