******OFFIICIAL Uruguay v. USA Thread*******

[torbee]

So do you think the non-Uruguayan Hispanic-Americans are pulling for Uruguay to stick it to us honkies or are they cheering for the USA since we are the land of opportunity they all want to live in? 🤔

 

[torbee]

Adams gets a yellow card for being fouled.

Why does US get home jobbed AT HOME? 😡

Nah. Their country is so superior to ours in so many facets. Well, other than to live in, thrive in, build a business in, raise your family in, etc… grr… irritates me. Crowd does seem pretty in favor of the US. I know there are a couple of our board members at the game.

Anyway, US playing well so far. Being the aggressor. Keep it up.

 

[torbee]

Well we may have killed a guy, so at least we got that going for us.

This telecast is a clown show

 

[SolarHawk]

Uruguay? More like Uraghey! Amirite guys?

No shit.

We're the United effing States. How do we get a high-school like broadcast of our national team?

Check that - this entire tournament is a clown show.

 

[Kinnick 4 Prez]

Conference USA refs.

 

[ihawk in FWB]

The referee is giving a yellow card, but let them play on.

This is an effing shit show.

High-school referees.

 

[onlyTheObvious]

Uruguay seems to enjoy flopping

 

[IaHawks03]

Are these WNBA refs? This is hard to watch

 

[hydro2.0]

This ref is absolute dog shit

 

[SeaPA]

This game would be better if they played without a damn referee. This guy is just lost out there.

 

[torbee]

lol this ref has to be on the payroll

 

[BioHawk]

This ref is an embarrassment and he is harming the reputation of this tournament. Holy shit does Conmebol need to do something about this.

They really should replace him at halftime.

 

[BioHawk]

Why invite the US to this tournament if this is what you are going to do? I mean, the US will do a fine job of grouping themselves. They really don't need the ref to intercede and help them do it.

 

[torbee]

I don’t understand how this tournament is being manipulated by CONMEBOL despite being played in the United States.

So is the ref.

Call your own fouls.

[Whiskeydeltadeltatango]

Wow Turner.

 

[IaHawks03]

There's been more stoppage time the first half than actual competition

 

[St. Louis Hawk]

Compare this telecast vs. Euro. Ours looks like the work of the 8th grade AV club.

Most of the crowd is from Uruguay. The remaining seats are empty.

 

[ihawk in FWB]

After watching UEFA this is like little league.

 

[torbee]

Compare this telecast vs. Euro. Ours looks like the work of the 8th grade AV club.

So I guess the story is CONMEBOL - which is the South American soccer federation - “runs” the tournament. Meaning despite being hosted here, the US networks get shittier camera spots, the USMNT gets the shitty away locker room and the ref f—ks us in the goat ass 🤷‍♂️

 

[HawkinCT]

I'm sure this has been covered...but what a clown this ref is.

Cmon USA!

 

[luvmyhawks]

Compare this telecast vs. Euro. Ours looks like the work of the 8th grade AV club.

Yeah. This shit is amateur hour compared to the euros. All they way up to the quality of play unfortunately.

 

[Hawkfan_08]

Not according to the refs. 5 minutes? How??

I'm at the game and the home fans are restless. This official is killing the game.

Also, of course Pepi comes in.

 

[torbee]

False.

About 75-25 US fans.

No it isn't. I'm at the game.

Pretty much.

There is no US camera crew. It's just one crew and that's the feed we are getting. Someone must have thought that the really high camera angle would be great to see what the centerback is doing on a corner kick and from a tactical point of view I actually like it, but it sucks to watch the game on. This is the angle you use to play a video game.

 

[SeaPA]

I very rarely complain about officiating, but damn that first half was bad. In the local rec league that I'm involved with, we often have some of the teen players officiate the young kids' games and they do a better job than that.

 

[luvmyhawks]

No it isn't. I'm at the game.

It’s pretty obvious on the telecast that it is very pro USA. which is good.

 

[BioHawk]

And because twitter sucks now I can't post a link, but the Goodyear Blimp people had a pretty good comment about the camera angle.

Kansas City is a big soccer town.

It's the town where the clowns throw it down.
