Gian-Luca Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 quote:Originally posted by Christian B. Do you know the result of the other game in group A? I can't find it anywhere..... All I could find is one reference by a poster that Honduras "stole" the game late, so I am assuming they beat Panama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 quote:Originally posted by jpg75 The US have some serious issues. At least it looks like Nowak regained some sense and decided not to play Edu at CB as he had in some of the prep. matches. Kamani Hill, a player who made some sub appearances for Wolfsburg as a striker last season is being experimented with at RB. Yeah, bigsoccer is going into meltdown in the game thread, making it difficult to assess what actually happened from their comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS in full meltdown mode...SHOCKING! Interesting result...The US missed last time after being eliminated in the semis by Mexico...a repeat scenario is every American-based BS poster's biggest nightmare. So much so that many were bitter that the two teams weren't put in the same pool. God, I'd like to qualify for this and see the US miss out (so that Edu and Wynne stay with TFC )...I'd certainly rather face Honduras in an win and in game than the US...so, good results for us tonight (but, I'd rather just win five straight games...)

Guest Jeffery S. Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 This was the guy who grew up a while in North Vancouver, and who was with Barça youth a few years back. I saw him play on pre-season match, posted on this but can't find it now. Fairly strong, tall, a target striker type of the sort Mexico does not tend to have. I guess they'll use him for that purpose if they are hard up for a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ed Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Good news on the defections. The fence jumpers will lose to Panama/Honduras. If we do take down 2nd in our group, having Honduras win the other group, based on Nowak's naivety, would be sweet for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep your gfingers crossed, there's word they might have to forfeit the tournament. And you know what that means, Jack and Chuck will find a way to award the US a 3-0 win for last nights draw...

Gian-Luca Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 The article mentions that Cuba may be asked by Concacaf to forfeit, as they apparently only have 13 players left in the camp and one of them is suspended for the Honduras game. Would that mean automatic wins for Honduras and Panama in the place of their matches and US result stays as is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking we'll find out tomorrow, they'll want to see what happens tonight. Prediction: If Mexico does not win, Cuba plays on. If Mexico win, Cuba forfeits all results and the US is awarded a 3-0 win as to avoid a SF clash with Mexico....you gotta love CONCACAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll have 11 for the game against Panama, assuming that nobody else gets suspended. 0-0 late in the first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ed Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 They ran out of gas. Now it's 2-0 up for Honduras, getting late in the 2nd half. They had another scare as their GK looked like he was done, but managed to get back into the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
