If it ends 5-0 we should be looking at +11 GD. Costa isnt beating us that bad with the Under 20 team.

Whelp, 5-1 now maybe. Crap

Costa Rica’s average age for their roster is like 31. They have no shot at scoring 3 goals, let alone 6, while shutting the US out. It just ain’t happening. The US could play their C team, and still walk away from that game with a 1-1 draw.

CP has to work on his goal celebrations if he's going to start going hat trick on people.

I'm extremely confident but my history wouldn't let me guarantee it and jinx something

Don't sugar coat it

You're not a big fan of the worm?

hehe, his kinda looked like it was coming out of the ground worm instead of on it.

 

[Bestbuck36]

Ahhhh much more relaxing game than the last couple

There's no hat trick gif

This guy’s videos are good

Technically they are not yet "qualified".

A forfeit is a 3-0 loss. Just sayin'!

Just sayin': The US team could just forfeit against Costa Rica and qualify.......

 

[Bestbuck36]

That would be the most un-American thing in history.

I'd sit Pulisic tonight, at least the first half, and give Reyna the start with Pepi and Weah. Anyone on a yellow probably should be kept back except for emergencies.

 

[OHSportsFan]

CR actually sitting in a lot of Yellow Card suspension danger, with a likely playoff game coming up. May impact what they put out there.

I am making the assumption you missed the u and hit the i. They are right next to each other.
I agree 100%. It would be a total embarrassment, and the USMNT would lose support. Unfortunately, there is at least 1 moron who gets paid to write about it that thinks a forfeit is a good idea. Andrew Joseph writing for USA Today Sports. What an ass.

Yeah, my phone fucks me everytime.

I mean, if there's that much legitmate worry that someone gets hurt or the impossible could happen, adjust the roster accordingly. Play the bench guys hell most of em could use the minutes anyway, but fucks sake DO NOT Forfeit.

 

[TooTall]

I’d like to see some guys like De La Torre (to a lesser extent since he’s already getting quality minutes), Gianluca Busio, Jordan Pefok, Erik Palmer-Brown, Aaron Long, get some minutes tonight. Obviously mix in some solidified starters, but these guys getting minutes could prove to be huge if something were to happen to Robinson, Zimmerman, Adams, etc.
