Gold Cup 2011 thread

[SAtown]

Don't even know if this thread is necessary as Mexico already has this shit in the bag, but I figured I'd start one anyways.

Group A - Costa Rica, Cuba, Mexico, El Salvador

Group B - Jamaica, Grenada, Honduras, Guatemala

Group C - Panama, Guadeloupe, United States, Canada

[scott]

US 2-1 over Mexico in the final. Write it down.

[NASpurs]

I'm glad to see Costa Rica (my team) beat Cuba 5-0. :)

Only reason Costa Rica is in the cup because Japan bowed out due to the problems in that country.

[Libri]

I expect US and Mexico to be in the final and it's going to be war!!

Ok, this is turning into a good old fashion raping.

Mex 3

Mexico's offense is looking solid... Chicharito with his second... 4-0 :) Rape

Mexico played like shit the entire first half. Then in the second half :wow

4 goals in like 10 minutes. :wow:wow

Chicha with the hat trick :king

[SAtown]

If it wasn't for a couple of wide open misses from De Nigris and Guardado, it should've been at least 7-0

[IronMaxipad]

Yep, Chicharito also missed one right in front of goal. Could have been 8-0

[easy7]

Mexico looks really strong. :toast

[NASpurs]

That would be Copa America. :lol

I forget what cup is which. There's too many worldwide.

[Sense]

:lol

I forget what cup is which. There's too many worldwide.

There is?

[ALVAREZ6]

There is?

I'd say so, yes. The season has become extremely long and unforgiving. Year after year these days, players barely have an offseason. I can't think of another sport where you're playing for 3 or 4 different trophies at any given time of year.

Not saying I want this changed, it's nice as a fan.

[ALVAREZ6]

+ the fact that they often change the names or have multiple names for some cups, I also can see how it's hard to keep them straight. A cup that includes all of the americas, one only south, one only north+central, etc. etc. etc.

[Sense]

What I mean is... How many Cups is Costa Rica in? :P

Wow....

[MannyIsGod]

:lmao Mexico caught doping. Nice.

[vato loco]

:lmao Mexico caught doping. Nice.

no big deal

will simply make the raping of the usa more humane, maybe from 5-0 to 3-0 :)

[Sense]

no big deal

will simply make the raping of the usa more humane, maybe from 5-0 to 3-0 :)

yeah...

out of everyone "doping" you'd figure it would be someone in the front .. since we have a great offense...

Doesn't mean shit at this point really... Ochoa has rarely touched the ball.. same goes for Maza.

Mexico can still easily take it.

[IronMaxipad]

Non-issue

All those players suck except for Maza, Rafa Marquez will be taking his spot. They won't miss a beat.

Mexico's goalies always suck so that's pretty much a wash. Would have been nice to have Corona since corona >>> Ochoa but that nigga is also on vacation for head butting that coach. :lmao

[IronMaxipad]

Salvador vs Costa Rica pretty good game so far.

[Sense]

Costa Rica is playing well .. I wouldn't be surprised if they were in the final.

[MannyIsGod]

I do kinda think its bullshit if they let Mexico replace the players. Do you guys buy the chicken story?

[MannyIsGod]

LOL

@SoccerByIves
Ives Galarcep
With rumors of 7 Cuban players defecting now circulating it makes you wonder. Do Cubans play so hard in Caribbean Cup for chance to defect?

[IronMaxipad]

CROFL Salvador beating Costa rica :lmao

[MannyIsGod]

Great shot.

[IronMaxipad]

great goal tbh

[Sense]

That was a great shot..... El Salvador has been pesky as hell..

Manny I really don't know what to believe... it keeps being reported that it's always found there, it's possible that the players knew this and are using it as the reason...

but who knows.. at this point as fans we can only expect them not to play anymore.. if they are to come back, great. It will make no difference IMO. As far as replacing... there's really no difference, whoever it is they bring will make no difference.. maybe a goalkeeper might. I still think Mexico will lose if they don't execute offensively.. like they have been doing historically.

[IronMaxipad]

Do 3rd place teams get to the next stage? Because If costa rica loses today they are fucked. Mexico will tap that ass next game and Salvador should beat Cuba.

[MannyIsGod]

2 of them do IIRC

[MannyIsGod]

Damn El Salvador playing really well right now.

[MannyIsGod]

I swear - the fake injuries are the worst part of this game. Get the fuck up man.

[MannyIsGod]

Looked onside to me.

[Sense]

he had a great chance at another goal there... Costa Rica is just about done..

[Sense]

Holy shit hahahaha

1-1 Costa Rica and El Salvador... at the last minute hahahaha WOW

[MannyIsGod]

LOL! Holy shit!

[MannyIsGod]

That sound you just heard was the entire country of El Salvador saying "fuck"

[Sense]

El Salvador REALLY fucked up.. no joke hahaha El Salvador team is crying to the refs now.. Costa Rica will more than likely advance now.. the goal difference will be too much

[Sense]

Mexico already missed 3 shots at goal... and almost allowed one off a mistake.. this is gonna be an interesting game.

[Sense]

So far Cuba has figured out a way to control Mexico's offense... minus the mistakes..

[Libri]

Chicharo goal

[Sense]

If Mexico keeps getting all these corners... it's going to be a long night for Cuba

[Libri]

It's ridiculous the amount of opportunities for Mexico.

[MannyIsGod]

Yet they only have 2 goals. It seems they can push it up the right side and cross right across the face of the goal at will. Cuba's keeper is terrible.

[Sense]

3 goals... the keeper has saved a lot of shots already... this game should be a massacre, but Mexico has failed to execute offensively.. and missing really good looks..

[MannyIsGod]

N/M - now they are pouring it on. That one was a cross from the left. :lol

[Sense]

4 :lol

[Sense]

Maybe Gio will have the Hat Trick today :)

[MannyIsGod]

:lmao

Jesus Christ. I sat down like 10 minutes ago with a drink and they've scored 3 goals since.

[FkLA]

chicharito smh

im changing it back to the finals

[MannyIsGod]

Fun game to watch. Glad the Mexico fans are getting a good show.

[MannyIsGod]

Should have been 5-0

[Sense]

damnit IT CHICHARITO!

[Sense]

hahahah 5-0!!1

[MannyIsGod]

Attack down the right. Cross it across the face. Goal. 5-0

[Libri]

I'm predicting two more goals. :p:

[Sense]

2 hat tricks in a row would be an awesome feat for Chicharito... although getting it from Gio wouldn't be as bad either..

[Sense]

Oh well.... 2 games... 10 goals... 5 off Chicharito...

Starting off well..

[IronMaxipad]

Every team is playing mexico the same way. Sit back and defend, as soon as mexico scores the first goal the flood gates open. :lol

[Sense]

In this case it was the second goal..

[Sense]

Watching this Canada vs Guadeloupe game...


Wow both of these teams are just horrible... Guadeloupe lost one of their players early on.. even with 10 players they seem to be holding off this very weak Canadian team..

[IronMaxipad]

So does anyone still think Canada is better than Honduras? Or the third best team in the CONCACAF? :lol

[symple19]

looking forward to the US/Pan game, although judging by the crowd in attendance, not too many other people are

[SAtown]

This game was basically over after that atrocious tackle in the 3rd minute.

[SAtown]

Looks like another game I'm watching on mute. Can't stand these two idiots :cry:cry:cry:cry:cry:cry:cry:cry:cry:cry

[MannyIsGod]

Damn I'm sure it hurt but mfer looked like he got shot.

[MannyIsGod]

Shit that was WAY too close.

[SAtown]

Nice to see Tampa Bay loves their soccer and country. The Dome would be packed for this shit and it's basically Mexico here

[MannyIsGod]

Landon's passes aren't as sharp tonight so far.

It is a shame how damn empty that place is.

[MannyIsGod]

LOL yellow for getting all ball. What the fuck???

[MannyIsGod]

Lol usa

[MannyIsGod]

Fml

[Libri]

Caught off guard.

:lmao

[SAtown]

They'll bounce back tho. Dempsey should have capitalized on his attempt earlier

[MannyIsGod]

Was that Goodsen who put it in or Tejeda?

[MannyIsGod]

Fucking Cherundolo gets forward and makes great runs but his crosses have been shit so far this cup.

[Libri]

Was that Goodsen who put it in or Tejeda?

Tejada

[MannyIsGod]

Fuck this ref. Are you fucking kidding me.

[MannyIsGod]

Tejada

Yeah - saw the replay. Bad defending though.

WTF was Jozy's yellow for.

Panama has been getting into US territory quite easily.

[MannyIsGod]

Well, fuck.

[MannyIsGod]

Panama has been getting into US territory quite easily.

Eh - just two really stupid defensive mistakes from each of the centerbacks (and Howard). USA has played better than Panama, IMO. Not that that counts for much.

[IronMaxipad]

Almost 3-0 there :lmao

[MannyIsGod]

Goodson must want Gooch to play. WTF.

[Libri]

another close one

Eh - just two really stupid defensive mistakes from each of the centerbacks (and Howard). USA has played better than Panama, IMO. Not that that counts for much.

Obviously Panama is the 2nd best club in the cup.......

































































:(

[MannyIsGod]

US just doing their best to make Panama look like Spain.

[MannyIsGod]

I've never seen a team that really isn't all that good buy into their own hype the way the US does. One game against Canada and all the talk is about how they will win this then rest. Come out and play don't come out and play lazy.

Goodson is much better than he's shown today. Ream is still very inexperienced so I expect mistakes from him but its still disappointing.

[IronMaxipad]

Obviously Panama is the 2nd best club in the cup.......


1. Mexico 2. Panama 3. Canada. Sounds about right.




































































:lol

[MannyIsGod]

Pretty much.

Well, either the US will have choked big time or they'll have yet another awesome comeback.

[MannyIsGod]

Pretty god damn stupid challenge by Goodson.

[Libri]

Jones and Agudelo are out.

[MannyIsGod]

Don't like Juan being taken out. At all.

[MannyIsGod]

This game is extremely frustating.

[SAtown]

Boom

[Libri]

Goodson goal!

[MannyIsGod]

Goodson with some redemption. THATS where you channel your frustration not into stupid MF fouls.

[Sense]

The Americans fall pretty easy eh?

[GinobiliForTres]

Goal usa!

[MannyIsGod]

Now they're fired up. Lets fucking get this done.

[MannyIsGod]

The Americans fall pretty easy eh?

It was a shitty dive. Glad he got a yellow.

[Sense]

It was a shitty dive. Glad he got a yellow.

I think that one... and the one that lead to the goal were both dives...

[Sense]

That was a foul? hahaha

[MannyIsGod]

I think that one... and the one that lead to the goal were both dives...

Eh, I dont know about that.

[Sense]

Eh, I dont know about that.

The Panama player clearly tried to push off.. but the acting began before the push.. and it wasn't that hard of a push.

[Libri]

Wondo in for Goodson.

[Sense]

The US can easily tie this game.. at least.

[SAtown]

lololol

[MannyIsGod]

Fucking Wondo. Great ball by Jozy.

[Libri]

Wondo fawked up.

[MannyIsGod]

Someoe tell me why the fuck Wondo is here why Bunbury isn't? Jesus.

[Vici]

I'll never understand how they let a Mexican ref an American game.

[GinobiliForTres]

Can you fuckers FINISH A SHOT?!

[MannyIsGod]

It pisses me off to see our players take these cheapshots out of frustration. Its only their fucking fault they're losing.

[SAtown]

brotha got pancaked :lol

[MannyIsGod]

Terrible. Just fucking terrible.

[GinobiliForTres]

Shitty game.

[Libri]

That Panama player crying of happiness. :lol

[MannyIsGod]

Better come out and win 5-0 on Tuesday.

[MannyIsGod]

Everytime I see that Wondo miss I get so angry that he's there. So stupid to take out Juan.

[symple19]

well, that was embarrassing....

[Sense]

I see a lot of angry Americans claiming they still deserved the win.. ref... blah blah blah... Mexico cheats..

I don't really know why, but I want to say I don't think the 5 players cheated... I want to say I believe them.

[symple19]

I see a lot of angry Americans claiming they still deserved the win.. ref... blah blah blah... Mexico cheats..

I don't really know why, but I want to say I don't think the 5 players cheated... I want to say I believe them.

not me. The US made their bed, now they have to sleep in it.

I didn't have a problem with the ref at all. If the US shows up in the first half instead of sleepwalking, they probably win

Credit to the Panamanians, they counterattacked well and made the most of their opportunities.

[MannyIsGod]

The ref made some terrible calls but no reason to blame him for the loss. The penalty was legit and the first goal was completely due to a bad defending and keeping. Wondo misses a chip shot.

[scott]

Wow we suck. I hope we don't even make it to play Mex, I don't want to put up with their fans after we lose 5-0

[MannyIsGod]

I just want Bradley fired. Fucking Wondoloski.

[symple19]

I was a Bradley defender through the world cup, but not anymore. His roster decisions, coupled with a continuation of the, "worthless in the first half" M.O. this team has is inexcusable. Time for somebody new, and the sooner the better, so that the team can start to gel around whoever they bring in.

Hate to say it, but the team is regressing

[IronMaxipad]

Mexico vs Costa Rica today. Biggest game of tournament so far. Mexico should rest some players, tbh... oh wait we have no bench :lmao

[Texas_Ranger]

Panama...really? :lmao

[Sense]

Why is the US 5 slots above Mexico in the FIFA rankings? That is still beyond me... Panama at around 45 :P somewhere around there..

[IronMaxipad]

FIFA Rankings are shit. ELO ratings are better and they have been around much longer

The panama game hasn't been updated yet, they're gonna drop further.

[Sense]

El Salvador 3-0 so far on Cuba... they could very well advance..


EDIT: 4-0 now :lol


Wow Cuba has allowed 14 goals in 3 games... amazing

[Sense]

Add 2 more to that... 6-1..


allowed 16 goals in 3 games... but hey at least they got one hahaha

[MannyIsGod]

If the US played them we'd get maybe 2 goals.

[scott]

If the US played them we'd get maybe 2 goals.

But we'd have at least a half dozen shots from 4 yards out go over the crossbar

[MannyIsGod]

Buddle would have made that shot Wondo missed. Guarnteed. Gomez too.

[scott]

Buddle would have been standing at midfield. Gomez would have headed it in (cus he's short... get it...)

[MannyIsGod]

1-0 Mexico

[MannyIsGod]

2-0

What a rocket of a volley. Holy crap that was a great goal.

Fucker never does that for me on PES. :lol

[MannyIsGod]

Jesus Christ and no angle on the 3rd goal. This is like the complete opposite of the way the US played yesterday.

Guardado looking amazing.

[Sense]

I am satisfied :)

[Sense]

Oh and that first Guardado goal was amazing..

[Sense]

Barrera finally gets one...

[scott]

The only good news I can think of is that it will be really unlikely for the US to finish 3rd in the group and the brackets are set up so that would be the only way to go against Mexico before the final.

So, we have plenty of opportunities to lose in embarassing fashion before Mexico is forced to embarass us.

[IronMaxipad]

Too easy sons. :lol

So is USA midfield still far superior than Mexico's?

[Sense]

Big mistake by Juarez

[Sense]

Horrible mistake

[MannyIsGod]

Too easy sons. :lol

So is USA midfield still far superior than Mexico's?

Maybe not far superior but superior yes.

[Sense]

Chicharito had way too many opportunities to not get a goal.. he seemed to be aiming at the keeper each time.

They played a bad 2nd half.

[IronMaxipad]

Maybe if we're talking Defensive Midfielders but Attacking Mids? not superior at all.

[Libri]

Jesus Christ and no angle on the 3rd goal. This is like the complete opposite of the way the US played yesterday.

Guardado looking amazing.

Guardado deserves to be with a bigger team than Depo. Too bad he has been injury prone the last couple of years.

[IronMaxipad]

Mexico was coastin the second half.

How many goals did Chicharito miss? like 6 :lol

[MannyIsGod]

Maybe if we're talking Defensive Midfielders but Attacking Mids? not superior at all.

Clint Dempsey is better than any attacking mid you have so yes, superior.

[IronMaxipad]

Guardado > Dempsey

[MannyIsGod]

Guardado > Dempsey

Yeah, no.

[IronMaxipad]

:lol Are you even watching the games? Guardado has been far better than dempsey.

[Sense]

Guardado is the better overall player....

Clint is the better scorer, but Guardado is the Xavi of Mexico..

[MannyIsGod]

:lol Are you even watching the games? Guardado has been far better than dempsey.

Dude a few good games against really bad teams in the Gold Cup don't make him better. Let me know when Guardado wins POY honors from a club in a top league.

[Sense]

Dude a few good games against really bad teams in the Gold Cup don't make him better. Let me know when Guardado wins POY honors from a club in a top league.

Guardados arsenal doesn't only consists of a few good games in the Gold cup... to be basing your judgement on that would be ignorant.

[IronMaxipad]

Dude a few good games against really bad teams in the Gold Cup don't make him better. Let me know when Guardado wins POY honors from a club in a top league.

Guardado won POY twice with Deportivo..

Not a huge club but they do play in a "top" league...

Guardados arsenal doesn't only consists of a few good games in the Gold cup... to be basing your judgement on that would be ignorant.

[Sense]

Yeah IronMaxipad is wrong to be basing it on just the Gold Cup.. or even today's game..


But I still think Guardado is a better overall player..

[IronMaxipad]

I'm basing it on POY honors, Guardado 2 Dempsey 1. :king

tbh, I'm not even trying to shit on dempsy i just don't see how he is SUPERIOR to Guardado or OUTCLASSES him.. He doesn't.

[FkLA]

Dempsey being better than Guardado :lol

[Texas_Ranger]

Dempsey being better than Guardado :lol

This.

Plus Fulham is not really that great and Deportivo was a pretty good club until this year.

[MannyIsGod]

Mexico and Slovenian fans don't think that Dempsey is as good as Guardado. :lol I'm shocked.

[IronMaxipad]

No, we just don't think he is SUPERIOR, like you seem to think. :lol

[MannyIsGod]

I'm ok with calling them even.

If we call them even, then the US still has the better midfield, IMO. Donovan, Holden, Bradley, Edu, Jones are all very good. The first 3 more than the last 2 but yeah.

The US has a coaching problem. Not a talent problem.

[IronMaxipad]

Son make up your mind tbh.

Is Dempsey Superior to Guardado or as good as Guardado?

You can make a case for either but i don't see how you can claim that Dempsey is head and shoulders above Guardado.

Let me know when Dempsey wins back to back POY honors from a club in a top league. :lol:king

EDIT: I can agree with that. :lol

[MannyIsGod]

I just said I was OK with calling them even. What more do you want? God damn.

[IronMaxipad]

We replied at the same time bruh.

[Texas_Ranger]

Manny I think Dempsey is a pretty damn good player. I just don't see him being that much better than Guardado.

[MannyIsGod]

:tu

[Sense]

I don't know what it is about both teams, but I've always noticed that the Mexican squad has always had more heart than the US squad.. prior to the US oldschools retiring..

I just don't see the passion in the USMNT..

The bad thing about the Mexican team is, now that they're pretty much everywhere.. Europe and what not.. their ego can get the best of them pretty fast.

[Libri]

I'm not sure if I see the comparison. I think both have different styles.

Dempsey is more of a power player and has some qualities of a striker. He's physical and that's why the Premiere League has suited him so well.

I see Guardado more as a creator and passer, who can also score. If I'm not mistaken, being a winger is his natural position.

[MannyIsGod]

The bad thing about the Mexican team is, now that they're pretty much everywhere.. Europe and what not.. their ego can get the best of them pretty fast.

Its funny because I pretty much think the last game was a symptom of the US's egos getting out of control. I don't think you can say they have no heart though. Look at the Slovenia game for proof of their heart. What is different is that they're not always underdogs anymore, though. Now they have the burden of being hyped up more and they're not usually delivering.

I've really come to the conclusion that they're just really poorly managed at this point by Bradley. His tactics are pretty bad so if he's not even motivating them then there's really no reason to keep him as coach. They really need to switch to someone who's a damn good tactician but I don't know who they can get.

I think Jona Dos Santos is a perfect example of this. He seems to have turned it around now though. In a recent interview he said he realizes that just because he plays for Barcelona it doesn't automatically grant him a spot on the starting XI and that he has to earn his spot on the team. Unlike last year when he was left off the WC roster and left crying and threatened to play for Brasil or Spain instead. :lol

Edit:
Also Nery Castillo that was one cocky motherfucker, he backed it up with his play though.

That third goal went straight through his hands, not to mention the near post is exactly what he needed to cover. Just amateur stuff. It's Costa Rica though.

[Sense]

That third goal went straight through his hands, not to mention the near post is exactly what he needed to cover. Just amateur stuff. It's Costa Rica though.

The third goal never touched his hands.. it curved as it was going in. He was trying to cover the middle because Andres has always been a great assist man, especially in that position.. personally I didn't expect him to shoot.


Take another look at the shot.. no one touched it.

[MannyIsGod]

I was pretty shocked that he shot it there. No angle at all.

Take another look at the shot.. no one touched it.

That's my point. I watched it again and that's horrible goalkeeping (besides of the defense being a disaster). Near post is *always* the goalie post. Good goalies don't gamble (unless it's a one on one), they trust their teammates.

The second goal was a thing of beauty though.

Clint and Dempsey shooting like Wondo now. God damn.

[MannyIsGod]

Clint with another close FK

[Libri]

What a bad pass by Bradley.

[Libri]

Wondo out, Bedoya in

[IronMaxipad]

boring second half tbh

[MannyIsGod]

Yeah.

[IronMaxipad]

CROFLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL :lmao

[MannyIsGod]

Oh my god

[symple19]

omfg

Really, the world could learn a thing or two from the US in regards to finishing /sarcasm

[IronMaxipad]

I need a gif of that :lol

[Libri]

Dempsey with a major fawk up.

[MannyIsGod]

Thats just disgusting. Fuck anything I said earlier. Guardado is better. I expect that shit from people like Jozy or assholes from other teams but Clint? Give me a fucking break. Thats some bullshit that I'd never thought I'd see.

[symple19]

Dempsey is the last mofo on the side I would expect to do some nonchalant bullshit like that

[MannyIsGod]

I know! I'm fucking amazed man. He looks really tired and maybe thats it but otherwise thats just....i don't even know.

[IronMexican]

How is this thing still 1-0? Haven't watched any of it.

[Libri]

Bradley out, Edu in

[symple19]

This has really been some of the most uninspired soccer the US has played in memory.

Even the massively under-talented teams of the late 80's and 90's were usually giving their all and losing only because they couldn't match up with other sides.

This falls squarely on Bradley, IMO. You've got to get more out of this team than what we've seen of late.

It kills me to watch this garbage


Clint's post-game comments should be interesting

[Libri]

It seems that Bradley's team is content with doing just enough. They have digressed dramatically in all areas.

[MannyIsGod]

This team just doesn't look nearly as good as their talent or we had hoped. I'm worried about the Jamica games.
