Enjoy the action.
I’m going to the games with 4 Salvadorian friends. Should be some good soccer on display!
not much to comment on, i’m afraid. telefutura is showing the celebration of a creep who hasn’t been relevant for anything positive in almost 20 years, instead of the costa rica game.
awesome.
Jamaica vs Costa Rica is on Galavision, Telefutura sold out and went for the Jacko crap.
do you know if cablevision carries galavision?
Almost a goal from Rapids’ Cummings. Would like to see MLS guys do well.
They should carry it. I have it.

I don’t have Telefutura but I do have Galavision so I lucked out.
Go Jamaica.
kick to the head!
Usually I think straight reds come too quick, but that one was justified, Reggae Boyz gotta be careful now.
What happened?!
tackle from behind around midfield, then Austin made a kick in the direction of Costa Rican’s head.

Thanks john
What happened to Costa Rica? Jamaica is dominating.
Maybe a tape of this game should be sent to FIFA and Larrionda. Kick to the head = red card. Kicking the ball during a tackle = not so much.
wow, unreal how Borges was so unmarked. Jamaica in trouble now, down a man and down a goal
it’s so ridiculous that Jamaica is getting so much pressure on goal a man down
Empty stands…
oh well, time to cheer on the Canucks
what is the score?
no score 20th minute
Non-call for Canada almost immediately followed by a dive that earned a free kick 20 yards out for El Salvador. Kick sails over the goal.
I wish Central American teams were talented enough to score without diving.
anyone know what they were saying on the Galavision about Michael Brabley’s suspention? I know they were discussing it, just could not make out the details.
another thread on here says he’s given a 4 game USA suspension, but the Gold Cup games count toward it even though he wasn’t called in anyway. He will be able to play in the WCQ vs. Mexico.
Still 1 nil Canada @ the half
dude william reyes is like 30. he shouldn’t be on the field for la selecta. Too bad about Julio martinez. what’s worse is since he got injured his newly acquired contract with Leon of Mexico got rescinded.
Canada bossed it the whole way. Should’ve been better than 1-0 by a long shot.
the tv guys were saying that b/c he wasn’t on the roster the suspension doesn’t count, they were saying Bob Bradley was dumb to not put him on the roster and that he will miss WCQ games, according to all internet sources this isn’t true, but he was citing some fifa rule saying the Gold cup won’t count
sounds like another intense day for the gold cup’s Group of Death!

What game were you watching? You got guys that barely crack 5 feet 5 inches playing against guys that grew up playing Canadian Football and Hockey as well as Football. El Sal players don’t go down easy. Smaller players that are running at their max speed just tend to go down faster when bumped. Dives are what Ronaldo used to do where he even had time to pick up his feet and turn in midair in order to land.
So what would you guys think about this for the Azteca?
————-Altidore—-Ching————-
——————–Davies—————–
Donovan—————————–Dempsey
——————–Bradley—————-
Bocanegra—-DeMerit—Onyewu—-Cherundolo

It is always good to to see Canada do well. As an american I always pull for them with one clear exception. They have a good squad of 15 or so players and just need to develop depth. They have many good,young players in europe and most guys are 1st or 2nd generation so the EU passport thing becomes a none issue.
I would really like the them and Honduras step up on a consistent basis so Concacaf has 5 teams that can be more or counted on to trouble the bigger fish of the football world.
Well done Canada -see you Friday night in the zoo we call Miami.
Jamaica could be another consistent squad in the CONCACAF region if they could ever get their sh*t together becuse they have all kinds of attacking talent.
@ Isaac,
if you are going to play three forwards, you spread out your forwards.
Altidore—-Ching—–Davies
you want Davies to make penetrating runs cuz God has blessed him with speed. So putting him behind altidore and Ching limits his strength
I doubt we will see this though since Costa Rica scared the s!@# out of Bradley the last time he played the gutsy 4-3-3. I blame the fullbacks Beasley and Wynne for that. Cuz of them, i fear bradley will go conservative again
Supsam,
The idea was that Davies would take the pressure off everyone else by making runs all over the place and giving players someone who they could play the ball into and he would create something out of it. He did a great job of that in the Confederations Cup and was involved in the build up to some good moves and goals.
If it’s going to be a 4-4-2, there will be two defensive minded midfielders in there, sadly. It would be good to see Davies making runs off of balls that Altidore and Ching win or flick on, but the fact is that Bradley would never let there be just one holding (or two-way) midfielder.
