The_Admiral Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Why did they bring a young guy in ice-cold for penalty kicks? Don't you have to lean on your proven guys in a moment like that? 2 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unocal Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Italy had a bad track record in big 2010s tourneys 2010 WC- worst title defense by a reigning champ Euro 2012- lost to Spain 2014 WC- failed to get out of a group that ironically had England Euro 2016- lost to Germany on PK's 2018 WC- didn't even qualify Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadragon76 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Meanwhile, in the States.. the Gold Cup is going on with Canada doing well to put the boots to Martinque while the Americans are struggling to put Haiti away. So, what.. is the 'C' team we're putting out there for this tournament? They shouldn't be struggling to put Haiti away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian in Boston Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 In the Euro 2020 final, Italy played to win and they won. England played "not to lose"... so they lost. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Pretty low attendance for the weekend's USMNT game and again for tonight. Does anyone know if they're limiting seats? Or is this the typical $$$$ gouging from the USSF?

Rockstar Matt Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I don’t really care if the US wins the Gold Cup especially since this isn’t anything near our best team, BUT I was bored and had an opportunity to watch tonight’s game so I did. A couple of players really stood out to me. Dike has a real opportunity to become the USMNT’s number 9. He needs some more technical development, but man all that dude does is just score goals. He puts away his chances and that’s what the US needs from a number 9 badly especially with the world class attacking talent our roster has. Hopefully, he transfers to a European team in a top 5 league to help further his development. Busio is special. Straight up. I thought he was the US’s best player tonight by far. He’s honestly too good to be on this version of the roster. He deserves to be apart of the USMNT’s first team selection going forward and I imagine he will be. He’s yet another young and excellent US attacking player. I know he’s being linked to multiple European clubs so it’s only a matter of time before he transfers overseas. Pretty soon, the US will have the glorious problem of having too many elite, borderline world class or world class attacking talent to choose from. I did not think I’d be saying something like that so soon after the failed WCQ debacle in 2017.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Dike reminds me of Eddie Johnson, but bigger. Guy has a nose for where the ball is going and he smashes it in. Too bad about the goal being given and taken away from him last night; I think he was robbed. I watched most of last night's game. It was good to see the team know it had to score 5, and then 6, goals...and then it did. Would have been nice to get 7, but either way. Makes the Sunday game against Canada all that more intriguing! Our B team has been fun to watch!

Digby Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 The tickets are expensive and the home fans probably aren’t dying to see a team of relative nobodies play Martinique, especially when the same stadium has all three USA group stage games. Fair play to the diehards but I’m not dying to see the USMNT play three games in a week in person. the USA-Canada game tomorrow is already sold out I think. 1 Quote Fan Style ShirtsShowcasing fan-made sports apparel by artists and designers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in 2016, I think I spent $1200 for three tickets to three games (Haiti/Cuba, Argentina vs someone, and a knockout game with the #1 vs #whatever +- the ibitial thought was that #1 would be Colombia but ended up being USMNT and it was awesome). So, about $133 a ticket a game, which I wouldn't pay for Haiti/Cuba but would consider for USMNT vs Martinique...maybe. And it shouldn't be that much anyway.

-kj Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I haven't been to a Gold Cup game in about ten years, but the tickets weren't even close to that much. Mind you, I usually go for tickets in the supporter end. Edit: Oh, right, the 2016 Copa America Centenario. I did go to the third-place game in Phoenix, but I don't think tickets were close to that expensive. 1 Quote Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

I remember going to the Gold Cup there in 2009 and I want to say I paid $35/ticket for those two games. I also skipped going to the USWNT game in Austin because it was $75/ticket for the cheap seats which were all but gone by the time I looked at tickets.

MJWalker45 Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 USWNT got destroyed by Sweden 3-0 today. They were lucky to tie them 1-1 earlier this year. I think this is the same place the men found themselves in 2017. They've been holding on to older players to long and not playing players in the right spot for what they can do. They may still win a medal but this team needs a lot of refreshing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
