That crappy field is only 110 x 70 yds

This is playing out like one of those midweek high school games against a decent school with a less than decent team.

Not a whole lot of energy. Almost embarrassed to score goals. Not the sharpest play.

Did what they needed to do on a bad, small field, empty stadium, without some of our top guys...no complaints.

That was quite possibly the boringist soccer match in history.

It just looked amateur. I know the stadium did not help. But it just was slow.

Just glad they didn't kill Sargent and Pulisic didn't need that.

Mission accomplished.

It was slow because the grass had not been mowed in like 6 weeks. It was a cow pasture with lines and HS metal stands. It was pure CONCACAF and this team better get used to it. They will see it over and over again in the hex next year.

Cow pasture? Hyperbole?

So this field with stands and track and field equipment is used to feed cows? Really?

I don't know what to tell. Did you watch the game, did you see the condition the field was in? Have you ever seen a road CONCACAF game? This is the kind of crap field they put out. It is not an exaggeration to say all they did was put up stands around the field, without doing any more maintenance or groundskeeping to the field.

It was played in the Caymen's where the total population is about 65K.

If I recall, most of the matches played on the islands are typically old cricket grounds or very, very old stadiums that are used as the Olympic training grounds for that country. Last night was the latter. These are countries that when they need to field a national team, they have local tryouts.

Thats why the old a new qualification system basically weeds out all the small nations so we don't have matches that are USA/Mexico vs Cuba/Barbados etc.

exactly.

The field sucked but it wasn't literally a cow pasture.

Internet sarcasm is a hard thing. I guess I should have said "cow pasture "

Ok. Try this. It was a field that many high schools would be ashamed of. That I will say with a straight face because its true. It was as narrow as a HS field, the turf was loose and ripping up and it was left tall. The conditions of the pitch made for a bad match. It was classic CONCACAF.

I said Hyperbole and some one replied, no not really.

And they doubled down with this " . It is not an exaggeration to say all they did was put up stands around the field, without doing any more maintenance or groundskeeping to the field."

All water under the bridge. The field did suck, that we can agree on.

We can also agree that game showed nothing.

Eh, I'll take boring and dominating performances over lower-talent clubs in poor conditions. Lord knows we've seen worse and we're going to need results like that come Hex time.

Yeah.

And Sargent scored two. 2nd was from a nice save and pass by Boyd.

Webster's definition of literal or Oxford English definition of literal?

But yeah. I doubled down on the idiocy this morning. Sorry guys. Move along.

if the US had intentionally played guys on the lower half of the pool in order to evaluate or develop them, but also possibly to throw the games and NOT advance to the semi-finals of this stupid CONCACAF Nations League, would they then be able to schedule some real challenging friendlies in Europe or S. America in the international window next June instead of have to play more of these stupid CONCACAF games?

I was wondering if this tournament was for anything, the only thing I found was that it was for Gold Cup status.

Quote:

Does the CONCACAF Nations League affect the Gold Cup?

Yes. the 2019 CONCACAF Nations League final tournament is also qualifying for the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
I was in the room here one day... watchin' the Mexican channel on TV. I don't know nothin' about Pele. I'm watchin' what this guy can do with a ball and his feet. Next thing I know, he jumps in the air and flips into a somersault and kicks the ball in - upside down and backwards... the dang (sc) goalie never knew what the hell hit him. Pele gets excited and he rips off his jersey and starts running around the stadium waving it around his head. Everybody's screaming in Spanish. I'

I thought I was reading that hex qualification was just top 6 in fifa rankings.

This is correct. Which means US and Mexico are virtually guaranteed to advance to the Hex.
