Will be there, lucked out with a coworker gifting me a parking space a few mins from the stadium in Walpole
2015 Gold Cup
- Thread starter DJnVa
- Start date
I'll be at the game, hopefully arriving around 6 and catching part of Honduras/Panama.
USA played Haiti in the 2009 Gold Cup and needed a stoppage time goal from Stu Holden to pull out a draw. I remember that - it was embarrassing. But the lineup that day, woof:
I had completely forgotten about Colin Clark's one cap for the USMNT.

Cooper - Arnaud
Quaranta - Holden - Cronin - C. Clark
Heaps - Parkhurst - Conrad - Evans
Robles

Conor Casey got injured early in that Gold Cup, I think. They needed another guy with the same initials.

You may be thinking of the 2005 Gold Cup, when Casey tore his ACL. In the summer of 2009, he was with the big boys in South Africa for the Confederations Cup. Davies, Robles, Feilhaber, and Adu were the only overlapping players, I believe.
The peak of his USMNT career came in Oct 2009:

He's still only 29.... What a shame.
Right -- 2005. What's 4 years? Kind of blends together. Yeah, I remember that Honduras game -- I think that secured qualification.
Traffic in Frisco was a complete clusterfuck on Tuesday starting at about 5:00 (aka, one hour prior to kickoff of Haiti vs Panama). I wouldn't expect the traffic in and around Foxboro to be much better. T&P to all who are attending.

I know a bunch of Spanish curse words, does that count?
I actually watched the Copa America final in Spanish rather than English, because for some reason I have Spanish beIN in HD but the English one is only SD.

lot of changes for this lineup. Giving some players some run with the presumed weaker Haiti?

I'm hoping Ream impresses. So far so good.soxfan121 said:
Commentary team is awful. Hopefully Fox acquires more talent.

What is Garza doing. He gave that guy 5 free yards in the box. Any top striker buries that opportunity.

What was he thinking on that break. Instead of hitting it with the left he cuts back into 2 guys. sigh
Amazingly I think he was onside. Joey managing to not even get a shot there was impressive. Mix also having a mare
don't watch that much, honest question does jozy not have a left foot (in terms of scoring)? With johansson offside there was no other reason to cut back into 3 Haiti defenders, right?

His left is weak, but he is still the starting F for a good international team. You hit that with your left either taking a shot or he has the step so he could play a low cross to the 2 forwards heading to the front of the goal. A low far shot also offers the chance of rebound from the keeper that your forwards are crashing onto.
and Tangled, no the quick tip doesn't affect the offsides. Still depends where AJ was when the ball was played.
AJ continues to make strong plays out there.
I'm taking Garza off he has not impressed and seems like a weakness. FJ in.
Take Jozy off, push Dempsey up with AJ, slide MB up and bring on someone to play the Beckerman role. Haiti is getting too many runs directly at the CB. Albeit less now than earlier in the game. Either Beckerman himself or someone JK thinks can play that role with Beckerman looking a little slow last game.

How jacked Altidore's upper body is combined with how bad he is on the ball feels like a joke about misplaced soccer priorities.
I generally think people are too hard on Jozy. But not this tournament. He's been very poor so far.sodenj5 said:
It's a possession lineup (w/ Zusi and Mix in) but they haven't been possessing well. Something has to change.
I'm sitting in the corner in front of Garza - he's physically a big liability. Just athletically isn't up to the level.
It would help if they'd stop trying home run balls over the top although they were somewhat successful with a few. Jozy just can't play this style and it showsTitans Bastard said:
One would think they would try to exploit the Haitians' tendency to go to ground against them in the second half. That would require putting your ass and your ankles on the line but it could be a way to use their defensive aggressiveness against them.
The success of such a strategy would require the ref to take his head out of his ass, however.
Edit: Bye bye, Jozy.
