They don't even have all their big guns and Bailey is out complaining again about how unprofessional the JFF is. i wouldnt say they are throwing it. Antonio, bell and pinnock are injured. Bailey and stewart are suspended for breaching protocol. Nicholson and gray are suspended. I mean, you could say the FA could ignore the bailey suspension but other than that, its pretty much the best roster available after the injuries. Edit: They called up the exact same squad minus my explanations above, dropping out some really low level guys (USL, League 1 etc) and Brown... not sure why he was dropped?

That's what has held them back in recent years, at least since they have been able to draw on the talent pool they have now. I'm okay with it in this case, of course.

shorty Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Jamaica doing a good job of throwing the game so far… Leading 0-1 in the 35th minute. Would actually love to see the Americans drop this (or any) game. WestHamCanadianinOxford and Canuckia 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pod818 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 US with the suspicious home field advantage injury time addition. There were virtually no stoppages in the second half and they somehow get 5 min of injury time to tie it up in the last play. The commentators even said it was 4 min at first and somehow it changed to 5 min..now tied 1-1 going to extra time Kent, red card, Bison44 and 3 others 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeRo_Is_King Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) What a bizarre hockey assist for Pulisic. He just tripped on himself before Reyna scooped it up and thread a pass through to Wright.

CanadaFan123 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Even though I unreasonably hold a grudge against Jamaica for beating us out and they had no business winning this match … that seriously sucks.

Kadenge Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Only watched the first half and 20 mins of reg time. Despite their club pedigree the US players still act like Latte lads on the field. Have to smile at US commentators. They simply can't keep an even keel a bit like our own Wheeler DeRo_Is_King and narduch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For decades, no one has cared about the CSA fee's. Now that theres so much misinformation being swung around, theres some anger on transparency etc. Tbh, I dont even think parents care about transparency. If you have a 7 year old, do you really have the time or effort to fight for transparency on $6.00. Who cares? Who has the time. IMO its a red herring to further destabilize the older CSA board.

Exactly. I've got 2 kids in house league soccer. Registration was $275 for each kid. It's not like I had a hard cap at $280 and I would have said no to soccer if it cost $281. And I also don't have a breakdown for where the $275 I paid goes. I know they get a uniform, but don't know how much it costs. I know they get a ball, but don't know how much it costs. I know the coaches aren't getting paid. I know there are no travel costs. I don't know how much the refs get paid. I don't know if admins are getting paid or how much. I don't even know if they have to rent the fields. I have no idea if I am being charged a fair amount or if they are taking advantage of parents like me. The $6 would not be a hardship for likely anyone who is able to pay the initial fee in the first place and it is no more opaque than the existing fees.

johnyb Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I would argue with the insane inflation due to the printing of money it would be ludacris NOT to raise fees. Bigandy, MtlMario, Kent and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
