Damn media always sensationalizing every possible thing…

Lol. Our C team played their A team to a draw. Sounds about right. Reality check? More like we got the result based on the team we put out there.
What's even weirder is, if you read that article he was pretty realistic about the game and the players in it.
I wonder if ESPN writers even title their own articles, or if it is some dipstick editor.

Typically it's the editors not the writers. At least it was that way in thd newspaper days, and I can't see that changing. It's all about the clicks.

Agree. He's also smart to get more tape if he wants more playing time at Arsenal.

It's also easier for a keeper to play as much as possible than it is for an outfield player.

You mean it's easier to stand their with short bursts of energy rather than running 3-5 miles? Shocking observation.

Correct. It's pretty obvious why he would want to (be able to) play more games in the offseason than the outfield players.

Why is Qatar playing in the gold,cup, did they need the dues

Keepers being captain always bugged me. Captain is supposed to be the guy that talks to the ref. Not reasonable for a keeper to sprint 80 yards to argue a call, just to sprint 80 yards back.

Qatar Airways is a sponsor. In fact, they're the official airline partner of CONCACAF.

Last time it was because they were the WC host and didn't play any qualifiers. They just needed games. This time? Who knows.

Two for 1 special.

And this brings up a very interesting question. Will we participate in WC qualifying this time or will they set up rules that ignore us, Canada and Mexico in the standing?

Mexico taking out their frustrations on Honduras.

all 3 countries are automatically qualified. it remains to be seen what matches we will be involved in as there are more concacrap spots this time. will we play a part in that or not? no one knows yet.

Costa Rica v Panama

The most CONCACAFy match possible.

What a huge missed opportunity by Costa Rica! The Panamanian keeper was out of the box and blocked the shot with a header…

CR missed a great chance to have the Panamanian GK sent off for DOGSO. Hit it where he has to make a save and he's gone.

Vargas with some major dark arts there with the knee to the stomach as he's falling.

Godoy with an elbow to a jaw. Just a yellow nothing major.

It's getting dirty.

Does Costa Rica suck? They're quite boring. Panama has been creative enough to make them fun to watch…I've been watching since the 2nd half started.

Costa Rica isn't the same Costa Rica, they're very average now…

Jamaica, Canada, and Panama have all passed them up in quality. Costa Rica is probably the six or seventh team in CONCACAF…
