U23s took care of business

still need to beat Colombia.
Still, business was taken care of

From what of that match I saw, this is a very loose definition of "taking care of business," we didn't look good.
you must have an odd definition of taking care of business. Chips were down in a must win and they walked out (of an embarrassingly empty Rio Tinto that made KU/Baylor look full) with a 2-0 result.

Well since I am the only person in the conversation that watched the match, I'll summarize for you. We threatened a few times in the first half but nothing that put Canada in any real danger, we forced the keeper to make a few saves but they were routine. The end of the first half Canada had a guy sent off with a second yellow, both yellows were legit. We opened the second half and looked much like we did in the first which was not inspiring even though Canada was a man down. Pelosi had a very nice goal sometime around the 70th minute. After the goal we looked the best all night because Canada had to loosen up even a man down. The second goal was somewhere around the 85th on a pk after a completely bogus card on the Canadian keeper. It was 2-0 but it was far from pretty, I didn't see the Honduras match but we couldn't have played any better than we did in that match. We got the job done but it was far from an even solid performance.

I don't think we're really disagreeing here. I watched part of the match thanks to Canadian youtube and agree it looked bad. But for me taking care of business means grinding through the bad form and getting a result. I think we'd agree that this is the kind of game where I would be easy to draw or end 0-1 because of bad play and mental lapses.

Funny thing is Jürgen probably thinks guys not wanting to play for him absolves him of blame.

I'm confused about what's the big deal? That Copa America logo was on ussoccer.com last week.

Michel Platini? That's bold. Prince Ali will win it.

Sepp changes his mind, runs, and wins.

Qualifying roster should be announced at like noon. Hamid is on it.

Very nice to see Nagbe and Miazga. Also no Dempsey.

MakeItRain · « **Reply #5223 on:** November 06, 2015, 04:35:17 PM »

I'd be willing to bet either the Sounders or Dempsey said no. If I'm the front office of a playoff team I wouldn't want one of my veterans playing, of course it's different for Nagbe and Miazga, you can't deny them their first opportunities. Also wouldn't it have made more sense to do this on Sunday night or Monday morning?

sunny_cat · « **Reply #5224 on:** November 06, 2015, 04:36:26 PM »

Was originally scheduled for Sunday

Poll

I'm thinking of wrecking threads everywhere until this shit gets fixed or I get banned, should I?
