Mexico got done dirty at the end there, should have been a corner.

Yea, but with the kind of game Blake had there's no way they were putting one past him on a set piece.

 

[uncredited male]

Well then.

I don't see how he keeps the job after a 3rd place (at best) finish here.

They dumped the 3rd place game. I bet they wish they didn't right now lol.

 

[The Chosen One]

That's the sound of a bunch of corporate executives crying that they won't be able to profit off a USA v. Mexico match.

Congrats Jamaica!!!

 

[v1lla21]

Finally, this game didn't deserve penalties.
I don't know what was their obsession with crosses against a team that has taller players than your own.

Also, Blake is fucking great. Amazing performance.

Tune any "analysis" shw, ESPN, Fox Sports, TDN... There is at least 2 moron saying that he has done A GREAT JOB.

Love it. I'm really happy for Jamaica, they've got real talent in almost every position at this point. They deserve to be counted among the big teams to beat in CONCACAF, it's just a shame they went out in WCQ.

Whether he has or not is irrelevant to my comments. He could be the best coach in the world and he'd still get fired for this because it's Mexico and they go through coaches like a 7-year-old goes through M&M's.

That said, I do think he's more like Klinsmann than anyone is willing to admit.

I agree there needs to be deep changes to the way the entire thing in handled, but better coaches have been fired after great work just because they lost that one match and the son of the one of the owners had to cut his vacation tour in Europe.

Some of these coaches were fired because they don't call player-A, the one the owner of one of the league teams want to sell, or just because he is not "charismatic" enough.

Not to mention some decide having too much success mean additional work (a curse among my fellow country men), so they drop the ball, cash the last pay check and bail out.

And some just see how crazy and absurd politics are in Mexico and run away in horror.

 

[CMojicaAce]

Don't see Jamaica beating the US. The game will be similar to the one today but the US will actually put away at least 1.

Every time there is an image/video of a Mexican fan losing it like that there is always another Mexican fan behind them laughing.

The only way this could be funnier is if it was the same guy laughing in both shots.

In all my friends circles, there is always at least one who is expecting to be utterly disappointed and laughs when they fail. In an "I told you so" way, I guess.

 

[Fathead]

Omg lol mexico

 

[Vyse24]

If it's not too late for the thread name to have a pun: More like Mexi-no.

 

[dallow_bg]

I had to stop watching the last few minutes so of course I missed the goal.
Just saw a replay of it though. Amazing kick. What a goal.

 

[ShaggsMagoo]

This.....this is what gets me through life. So good. Possibly even sogood.gif good.

wasnt jamaica in the last gold cup final?

 

[uncredited male]

I wonder if there is a rift between the Jamaican players and the coach. Things were kind of strange after the goal and after the game.

Yes, they lost to Mexico 3-1.

Yeah what was that?
It seemed like he was simply sitting down and had no reaction to the goal.

 

[Blue Lou]

Youre proposing this or you're saying they're officially planning this?

That's the plan. Victor Montagliani, the CONCACAF boss has already mentioned the 16-team Gold Cup. SI.com reported the 2020 proposals.

CONCACAF are also creating a new competition called the CONCACAF Nations League which is probably to act as qualifier for the Gold Cup. It's to begin next year.

 

[v1lla21]

Lol man those gifs are just too good.

Game notes for tonight from Steven Goff

The CONCACAF Gold Cup final between the United States and Jamaica will kick off at 6:50 p.m. in Santa Clara, Calif., which is 9:50 on the East Coast.

TV: FS1, Univision, Univision Deportes.

Live stream: Fox Sports Go, Fox Soccer Match Pass, Univision Now, fuboTV, univisiondeportes.com

Game-time weather outlook: 77 degrees, sunny, 10-mph wind.

Referee: Walter Lopez of Guatemala.

Unlike the quarterfinals and semifinals, the final will, if necessary, use 30 minutes of extra time and a penalty kick tiebreaker to determine the champion.

 

[Skellig Gra]

9:50 kick? Do they want no one to watch it or what?

 

[Cornballer]

9:50 kick? Do they want no one to watch it or what?

It's pretty typical for West Coast games for the USMNT. They have to make it late enough that people can get to the game after work on a weekday.

I hear ya, begs the question, why is this on a Wednesday to begin with?

 

[Cornballer]

I hear ya, begs the question, why is this on a Wednesday to begin with?

I would guess it has something to do with the Confederations Cup conflicting and the FIFA calendar, but I haven't looked into it closely. I agree that it would be better on a weekend, as they've typically done in the past.

To me, this CONCACAF title game is for the title of "Best soccer team in North America" even though there are a few south american countries in CONCACAF

Time to make Landon a sad, sad man.

RECORD BREAKING TIME

 

[Heretic]

Dempsey doesn't deserve the title. #SaveLandyCakes

 

[uncredited male]

US is using same lineup from CR. Deuce is super sub.

 

[Falchion]

Hype as fuck for the record and the cup.

 

[Clydefrog]

Let's get em, guys! Time for some hardware.

LOL I love the way the sombrero just sorta drifts down.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Crowd looks pretty light

 

[Cornballer]

Lineup looks fine. Just hope they don't have to wait for late game Deuceface to get the offense going.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Crowd looks pretty light

could be above 45k

People must be finishing their last beer in the parking lot

 

[B-Dubs]

Odds are he comes on in the 60th minute, when Jamaica is tired out and space starts opening up.

 

[Mory Dunz]

I'm okay with having the same lineup.

Not a fan of arriola of course, but he runs I guess.

People must be finishing their last beer in the parking lot

on second look, maybe not

 

[brianmcdoogle]

Jeez, the field looks terrrible.

 

[Mory Dunz]

[sangreal]

Jeez, the field looks terrrible.

And the place looks good empty smh. Come on Cali...
