Haiti, hanging in vs peru. 0-0. Maybe our guys should look at how Haiti playing. Jeff Louis is poison!!!!
Maybe its time for DJW to start looking for a new coach.

Tell us where he should look? W Connection???LOL

Some people really foolish.

ffsback, my problem is not so much with Hart, but with our guys and their individual skill set and abilities. Unfortunately, there is not much coach Hart can about that at this stage. Our guys have to do extra work on their own or with individual coaches to improve. Coach can't make them into magician every 5 days, 3 months apart. The onus is the players themselves.

100% Barataria · « **Reply #65 on:** June 05, 2016, 06:35:03 PM »

Guardado should have seen straight red for that challenge

Deeks · « **Reply #66 on:** June 05, 2016, 06:48:00 PM »

Mexico balling Uraguay.

Initially I was skeptical about this tournament and how teams will play but everyone is taking it serious.

asylumseeker · « **Reply #68 on:** June 05, 2016, 07:19:48 PM »

Two teams in different places. Mexico under a new coach (and a foreign one at that) but relying essentially on its stable cohort of players. However, to see Rafa Marquez out there raises an eyebrow at his age, but there he is.

Uruguay: playing with a mix of the very experienced and those growing in experience. But, what we are seeing is Tabarez offering no renovation in his tactical posture.

On top of that, this is a Uruguay without its most potent weapon ... yet again.

I see the integration process implemented by Tabarez but I can't help but focus on "where" this squad is an aged squad.

A bit of a contradiction between the view on Marquez and the view on Uruguay's age? Debatable. But, Mexico has variations in speed that Uruguay lacks.

I notice Reggaefan do not come in this form bragging about Jamaica when they lose. He only show up when they win

They have 9 foreign born on the squad right now. 3 or 4 more foreign born who were in the set up recently (last 2 years or so) were left out. The more notable absentees with injury and what not were local born eg. Mattocks.

Rafa takes care of himself really well. He has been around for long time. He is a good reader of the game.

E-man · « **Reply #73 on:** June 05, 2016, 09:22:28 PM »

Resale tickets for JAM URU are down to $6 for nosebleeds. I think I'll take in a 2nd game. Let's see if Suarez is healthy by then.

Yeah boi, kudos to him oui.

Lothar Matthaus thinks Rafa could contribute at Russia 2018. If he makes contributions on both sides of the ball (as he did tonight), then seems he could be en route.

Rafa is a leader. He isn't a liability in the dressing room, and with Guardado seeing red, leadership was key tonight.

Still recall how he suffered for the Dutchman's dive in Brazil.

However, fairly certain the federation has played a guiding hand. All previous Rafa recalls have worked out.

To find this type of technical gap between Mexico and USA you have to go back to the 1980's, prior to the beginning of MLS.

Thanks for pointing out our double standard, we not courageous enough to call America that.

Panama with the win....Bolivia could be a good team for us to play in a the future.

Looking to see how Mascherano and Fernández work together. Textbook or no?

True, Deeks been campaigning for that for years. Could be a friendly before Guatemala.

Good action in this Chile vs Argentina game and were only 30 mins in

davyjenny1 · « **Reply #85 on:** June 06, 2016, 09:04:56 PM »

Chile vs Argentina: Quick game, end to end action, that is how it should be played.

Bitter · « **Reply #86 on:** June 06, 2016, 09:15:01 PM »

I was watching highlights of Ronald (Il Fenomeno), Ronaldino and Riquelme. Compared to that era, these games is some strongman football. This Argentina -Chile game is fast-paced, but has no beauty.

Peong · « **Reply #87 on:** June 06, 2016, 09:27:19 PM »

Cruel deflection. Yeah bitter nowadays it look like players fitter and just trying to outrun the opposition.
The game being played at a very high speed.

Deeks · « **Reply #88 on:** June 06, 2016, 09:28:57 PM »

I just watched the first half. The game is end to end action. Fast quick and counter attacking. I love it. Good ball control. Some of our guys should be looking at this game and learning a thing or two.

Peong · « **Reply #89 on:** June 06, 2016, 09:31:56 PM »

Di Maria now try a beat, step on the ball and cyatspraddle on de grong.
