I assume they both can’t lose them Well, one thing I can't help but think about is that it was pretty much unanimous among US soccer pundits and fans (that I saw) that it didn't matter to the US who they played in the semi-final round, Honduras or Canada, because they fully believed that the US would smoke/destroy/annihilate either team. That has proven not to be the case so far against Honduras at least. Unnamed Trialist, toontownman and Dominic94 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I only started watching the last 20 min of the 1st half, and it seemed Honduras was doing better. They also seemed to be out psyching the US, they drew a card on a counter, seem to be getting under the US back line's skin. I prefer the US to be eliminated, as it also suggests that our group was not as easy as many have made out. It also suggests that our chances might have been better in this match rather than ours, but I can live with that. And it is hard to complain about our tournament.

Unnamed Trialist Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 They just now barely missed a third. I think the US can compose and get it together, but right now they are rattled. And behaving badly. Just now they score, 2-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he was talking in the first half at how Honduras was playing "scared", it was clear that he was biased or commentating on a different game than was being broadcast. In one of the round robin games this guy did the colour and kept talking about how the senior teams were "trying to make the Hex", so maybe his comments have been recycled from 2008.

Once I get enough feel for identifying the players, on goes the mute. Canadian/American/guys with English accents calling games, it doesn't matter.

But then again for the majority of games I watch it figures, Newcastle don't have a coach up with current trends, infact he doesn't believe in tactics. Straight quote.

toontownman Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Got to love these tactics by honduras. Sick of all the teams I watch bunkering down. Keep taking the game to the opposition. Obviously if we did that and lost I would be the first to criticize 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
