That's not how sports works.

Will take max action on USA at even money if they play Mexico.

Also, I am 100% in for the final regardless of who goes. Buying tix tomorrow pending responses from a few different people. Hit me up if interested in tix. Unfortunately venue had a lot of seats available on ticketmaster several days ago but is now sold out, but can get seats near/in the US fan section for roughly $170 each on stubhub/other sites. Cheaper seats available also.

lol who wouldnt take max action at even money vs mexico?

Mexico with their usual shameful performance, no surprise there. Bailed out by the Ticos' WIL and the referees

just so perfect seeing mexico proud of that win

Fwiw I'll also take max action basically on US/Jamaica vs Mexico/Panama to win it all.

Loretta Lynch gonna need to tackle these Mexican cheats

Not one Mexico player stopped to talk to the press on the way out of the stadium

OGK is basically giving just that so might as well take it

Clark,

Just buy my ticket. Most likely going. If not I'll pay for it anyway. Balla.

don't understand the mexican posters actually being proud of this team and/or ****-talking right now. I'd be embarrassed by them if it was my team.

My favorite was the players' wild celebrating and throwing themselves into each other's arms on the field after the final whistle. I think it's slowly starting to dawn on them that this is the new normal for Mexico. Fourth in CONCACAF, Last in their Copa America group, 2nd out of four in their Gold Cup group, need a last second gift penalty to get to the Semis, etc.

will be at the final in my Trump 2016 shirt. hope mexico is too.

stak, do you want to be taken seriously or not? i'm just wondering because i know you are a smart guy and all, but lots of your posts, like the one above, are really rustling my jimmies because i don't know if you are serious or if you are just trolling us with this dumb ****.

in 2011, our gold cup team crushed yours. not as bad as 2009, but still, crushed you.
then in 2012, we won olympic GOLD, something you couldn't even QUALIFY into.
bringing up Copa America is useless. we don't care about that tournament. we don't respect it. i'd love to see us take our D team again next year just to prove to show everyone that we don't care.
our 2013 Gold Cup where we lost to Panama twice was a result of us having to take our A team to the Confederations Cup.
the only thing you got on us was that rough patch that we went through during hexagonal. 10 matches. 10 matches where our opponents treated it like a World Cup match and we treated it like friendlies because we clearly felt superior. yes that's our own fault, but variance also plays a decent role in this.
in the end, we still had a better World Cup than USA.

You spanked us? Lol you were down 2-0. 13-5-5

13-5-5 all that needs to be said.

Also cruzn why the **** are you talking about a youth tournament?

because Olympics are a big deal. it was a u23 tournament that allowed 3 players over that age limit. hardly a "youth" tournament.

no, they aren't. It's a ****ing youth tournament.

3 games in 5 days is the entirety of qualification for olympics. It's a ****ing youth tournament.

lolcruizn

womens world cups mean more than the olympics. USA#1 has 3 of those.

wow nice! but is that more impressive than 2 MALE world cups?

I know, and like 30 years ago or something you guys actually won a knockout match in the WC. There was certainly a time when you guys were the best team in CONCACAF, no one is arguing that. It just looks like those days are gone though, and I think your players are starting to realize it. Hence the wild celebrations for an illegitimate Gold Cup semifinal appearance.

Of course if every time you do badly in a tournament you "don't respect it" then that excuse will work forever. If you lose, it's "we didn't care" or "those teams treated it like the World Cup." Those are transparently silly excuses. They are professionals representing their country, of course they care.

Yes, the hex was when everyone realized Mexico is nowhere near what it used to be. 10 games over a full year, home and home, and you finish 4th out of 6 (and barely at that)?

Then the next Gold Cup, with your A team, you finish second in your group and need a gift to make the semi?

The USA has been better than Mexico for quite awhile, I'm just saying it looks like the rest of the region is catching and passing you as well.

I'm not saying it's completely over or anything. If Mexico wins two consecutive matches convincingly to win this Gold Cup. Wins the Confed Cup playoff. Finishes first in the hex, etc. etc. then I'll be wrong. That could all happen of course. It just looks like Mexico is on the way down from the days of being the top dogs.

youth tournaments bro
