TFoA Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Agreed fully, TFoA. We need a coach that will get us to the point of 7 wins and 7 clean sheets in the World Cup. Anything less MUST be viewed as a disappointment.Oh gawd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want the US national team to get to the point where they win every game and keep a clean sheet. Until they get to that point, they disappoint.

lordsketor Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Going off topic for a bit, River Plate has just been regulated out of the first division in Argentina as they draw against newly promoted Belgrano 1-1 today and lose 3-1 on aggregate in their Regulation Playoff so no more Superclasico with Boca Juniors next year. Many thanks to Discrimihater for making the sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Wait, THE River Plate got relegated?! Just another reminder that anybody in football (who plays in a relegation/promotion system) is just one bad season away (or in River Plate's case, a few since they take your three year average into account when it's relegation playoff time) from going down. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow.Yes THE River Plate, Boca Juniors fans have mixed feelings right now...EDIT: The Riots in Vancouver will look like a skirmish in comparison when the riots start in Buenos Aires....Also they used the 3 year average for regulation/ promotion because of Racing got regulated in the 80s to prevent the top clubs in Argentina from being regulated...Wow.

dfwabel Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Oh Tim, just stay quiet.?CONCACAF should be ashamed of themselves, I think it is a f***ing disgrace the entire postmatch ceremony was in Spanish.

AnythingChicago Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 On the 2013 Confederations Cup front, Mexico (and Costa Rica) should be heading down to Argentina for the 2011 Copa América. The winner will move on to the Confederations Cup in 2013. Since Brazil is hosting the Confederations Cup, the highest finishing team that is not Mexico or Costa Rica will advance to the 2013 FIFA World Cup "test run". So, basically, this tournament is an overly complictated induction of Argentina into the upcoming Confederations Cup.Also, 2014 World Cup qualification kicks off this Wednesday, June 29, with some first round AFC action (as if any of those teams will actually qualify for the World Cup).

I can understand HFA for smaller matches, but for the Gold Cup final, one team should not have 80+% of the crowd in their corner.

Granted the US played in the first match and Mexico afterwards, but the Mexican fans were all really nice talking to us and even helping us out with some of the Spanish cheers.
