Tf Berhalter doing?

Bold strategy, Cotton.

Watched some footage of Honduras warming up. They didn't seem remotely bothered by the shitty weather. Our advantage seems to be basically nothing.

WESTON BITCH

 

[silverwheels]

Huh

 

[goblue96]

ZIMM ZIMM ZIMM

 

[kella]

Maybe they'll stop fouling every time we get the ball now

 

[bruin]

finally some set piece goals.

McKennie rules.

 

[silverwheels]

Okay cool

 

[DeadMan]

Hook em

 

[DeadMan]

So we're in reasonable shape. If we beat Panama and Costa Rica drop points, we qualify. There are definitely scenarios where we don't qualify, and they're possible, but we're in pretty good shape. If we get anything from the 2 away games, it's a huge bonus.

There is a scenario where we need a tie against Costa Rica to avoid the intercontinental playoffs. We should be rooting for Canada, because they play Costa Rica in the first game and 3 points secures qualification for them. They also play Panama in the last game, but they'll be qualified by then.

Look, I get that Honduras isn't as good of a team as Canada and we were playing at home this time as opposed to in Canada but this team has no fucking business losing to a fucking flash in the pan like Canada.

 

[adchester]

Canada isn't gonna be a flash in the pan lol. Do I think they are the best team in North America, no, but Davies and David are like both 21. They will be competitive in the hex (I guess oct now lol) for at least the next two cycles I bet.

Call me crazy but I don’t think Canada, Mexico and the United States will be competitive in the next Hex/Oct.

Lmao I totally forgot that NA was hosting in 2026

 

[bruin]

At least a point tonight, but we’ve been horrendous on the road in qualifying

 

[BearDownUofA]

It's weird to think that this is the last time we're going to play a WCQ at Azteca for almost a decade.

 

[Snorky's Shame]

I’m a little disappointed the US got the draw. I’ll take the point but the chances the US had…

 

[bruin]

Yeah, we’ll take it but Jesus it we had a golden opportunity tonight

 

[adchester]

 

[bruin]

Why the hell are we playing on a Sunday night in Orlando lmao

 

[BearDownUofA]

 

[bruin]

Paul Arriola?????

 

[BearDownUofA]

 

[Orlando]

[bruin]

[silverwheels]

AREOLA

 

[silverwheels]

Woof, GIO

 

[silverwheels]

Pulisic with the hat trick. Have to just not lose by 7 against the Ticos.

[Wolfman21]

gah damn

 

[BearDownUofA]

Stu Holden is such an awful commentator. How the fuck are you going to watch the Panamanian player drag a US player down by his face/neck and call it a "soft" penalty?

 

[silverwheels]

Can't wait for this to go all pear shaped on us.

 

[silverwheels]

[silverwheels]

yay we did it

 

[goblue96]

 

[kella]

Yall realize that our real 23 is on paper a top 10 squad right? We'll never live up to this which is gonna make the inevitable pre quarterfinal loss all the more depressing.

 

[silverwheels]

Least surprising soccer-related news ever?

 

[Brick]

BUM

I’m surprised she has two kids

I'm sure Uzbekistan sucks but Lavelle is soooo good.

 

[fried rice]

Ubeki-beki-stan

I'm sure Uzbekistan sucks but Lavelle is soooo good.

The young bucks look good (Rodman, Sanchez-Pugh(Bruins)

Nice to see the changing of the guard

 

[kella]

Sophia Smith is a boss too

Stanford still push everyone’s shit in when it comes to conference play?

They’re up there. Bruins hired a new coach Aozasa(from Stanford). Both likely preseason top 5-10.

@ me when she scores faster than 24 seconds into a game, like m'girl Ashley Hatch. Now that's what I call a tradition of dominance.
