That's cuz I was at that game.They were outplayed for long stretches of every game except for Cuba.

Probably for the same reason that Guyana and Suriname are in CONCACAF too.Is there a specific reason French Guiana isn't part of CONMEBOL?
Ouch. But so true. Shit penalties.We're taking penalties like England in a World Cup round of 16 game.
http://www.ussoccer.com/stories/2017/07/16/13/39/20170716-news-mnt-bruce-arena-makes-six-changes-usmnt-gold-cup-rosterGoalkeepers Tim Howard and Jesse Gonzalez, midfielders Michael Bradley and Darlington Nagbe and forwards Jozy Altidore and Clint Dempsey join the roster. The six players replace goalkeepers Brad Guzan and Sean Johnson, midfielders Alejandro Bedoya, Cristian Roldan and Kelyn Rowe, and forward Dom Dwyer.
Lichaj was a net positive against Martinique, Miazga is getting more time with Bruce, and Arriola has been frisky enough to keep around--I could definitely see the latter coming on as a pacey sub. Agree about the rest.I'm a little sad about the end of Rowe and Dwyer being on my screen (for now). Surprised by the continued presence of Lichaj, Miazga, Arriola, McCartyand Pontius. Appalled by that of Hedges and Zardes.
Looks like the US's QF is Weds 9pm in Philly. Tons of great seats still available, so I'm thinking about how I can figure out how to get home to nyc from philly at 11pm on a wednesday night...
Lichaj can provide cover for both FB slots, which is great value for a WC roster...if he's playing well. It seems like he's peaking now - Lichaj was Nottingham's captain and fan-voted player of the season this year. I hope he keeps it up.Lichaj was a net positive against Martinique, Miazga is getting more time with Bruce, and Arriola has been frisky enough to keep around--I could definitely see the latter coming on as a pacey sub.

That said, this ref is taking absolutely no shit whatsoever. He could be German.This game is so CONCACAFy.
I was wondering the same thing.What's Altidore have on his cheek - it looks like he cut himself shaving, but I'm certain that's not it. My partner asked me to check with you guys because we can't figure it out.
He was also getting dragged down by theNice ball from Bradley. Omar jumped a little too early but nicked it on his way down.
I'm going to start calling him Lichaj Jenkins, cause he just charges in there and fucks shit up, for everyone.Lichaj scores like a striker, and defends like one
Hamid makes that save, too, but then gives up a soft goal and gets injured for two months.BTW, no one above said it, so I will: none of our goalies except Howard succeed in charging that bad back-pass. He was like +0.8 xG on that play.
Feels like we are playing in Central AmericaThat's a really late foul call, and no card when there should have been at least a yellow.
