It''s at Soldier Field, in a city, with the second highest Mexican population next to L..A. I was making a point that CONCACAF are no dummies on making money.
The US usually draws pretty well in Chicago. I'm guessing Mexican fans were far more confident about making the finals so they bought most of the tickets very early. The US, well, after the disastrous friendlies before the tournament people were far less excited and at $100 bucks for the cheapest seats people didn't splurge.
Morris needs to sub out for Boyd. Morris has little finesse and defense to his game. Hes a true winger and one footed. I also love the dude because hes a Sounder but how Boyd didnt start is beyond me.
If you were sitting in those seats there is no way you would be sober enough to care about drums. And if you were, they would make sure you weren't.
We seem very out-of-sync. Expecting passes on the wrong side, defenders not anticipating each other.
Oh I agree. But the Gold Cup final in Chicago has been mostly Mexican fans in the past. Like 2005 when Benny Felhalber smashed that volley from outside the 18.
Mexico also had a day extra of knowing they were in the final because they played the semi a day before us.
He should have been gone after 2014 Brazil W.C.
Good gracious I do not like Morris as a player. Hope he proves me wrong. Really like what a saw from Boyd. I thought I heard something about GB not likely his defense
To be fair, Bradley actually made a forward pass. It shocked everyone
What does he see in Morris' defense I wonder? Boyd is just a more dynamic player.
I noticed that. Fine at older ages, but it would be terrible at younger ages.
The winning strategy for too many young teams is to poach a weak goal kick and score.
Iowa soccer tried to make youth club teams defenders have to drop backwards to the midline on goal kicks, but coaches, players and refs weren’t consistent and it went away.
Oh his elbow is done.
Nevermind. Magic spray means hes fine.

I would really love to know what’s in that stuff.
The defense can't go inside the box until the second player touches. I think it takes away attempts at weak goal kicks. We'll see in the fall for younger ages.
I’ve turned into Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino watching this game. Freaking Mexican Cerveza ads. No one wants your garbage beer.

I don’t totally disagree, and I doubt he has a major role beyond as a sub in the next qualifying cycle, but who would you have out there tonight instead of him?
Enjoyable game so far. Too bad we couldn’t get an early goal.
Pulisic adds so much in terms of creating opportunities. Fun to watch.
Agree on Morris - pretty much a non-factor. Need more out of him. He always seems out of shape to me.

Cannon has impressed me with his play in this tournament. Didn’t think he should have been on roster coming in but he’s been great.
Dude - the game is on a third tier cable television in the US. In Mexico it’s on every channel.
A real life injury in soccer?!?!?
Fellas we just witnessed a f***ing unicorn on live national television.

Yeah. He's made some nasty one touches that coulda been goals. Dude is a stud.
What's up with the Mexican fans still cheering the gay slur every goal kick? Surprised this isn't talked about more.

Good paced game. I watched the MLS game before the the field seemed much smaller..
US has a good pace, they might slip one in

I remember living in Peru back in late 80s early 90s and doing our first internet chat with some gringo school in (I think) Indy and the students asking us if we rode “burros” to school.
