zenryan Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 lol, I'm pissed because I want ESPN to be screwed over so hard. But it is kinda funny ripping out the hearts of another CONCACAF team in the final minute. Costa Rica in 2009, Panama in 2013. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know, they might meet in the second round like a few WCs back and it'd be an easy win for TUSA. Mexico can no longer beat their northern neighbors. Of course Mexico would need to get past NZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Did that really just happen? Oh my. Poor Panama. I'm sure New Zealand isn't exactly thrilled about the last second change of opponent. At the least, I hope the Mexican fans stop throwing urine at the US players as a thank you.

They should but I doubt it. Keep in mind though, the majority of Mexican fans don't do that, just a few idiots who make the whole look bad. Also, big soccer business down here should somehow gratify Jurgen, he saved them hundreds of millions of dollars that were heading down the sink. Again, they still have to get past NZ.

danman31 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 QUOTE (zenryan @ Oct 15, 2013 -> 10:29 PM) US scores 2 goals in basically stoppage time to win 3-2. Mexico lost 2-1 Mexico moves onto the playoff. Not basically stoppage time, the 92nd and 93rd minutes. Zusi scored at like 1:25 into 3 minutes of stoppage time and the winner came right after. Mexico looked like crap against Costa Rica. They basically gave up after the 75th minute. The way they hex played out, Mexico was clearly the 4th best team. Getting past New Zealand won't be a cinch. I'm not sure if hosting the second leg helps them or not. If New Zealand wins the first leg Mexico could get tight at home like we've seen all hex.

Essentially, Martinoli is thanking the US and berating the Mexican side, saying things like the US plays with talent and heart, the guys in green shirts don't, the US gets it done with their B squad, the Mexican team with their arrogant players who play in Europe play like bums, the US goes on to Brazil with their heads held high, Mexico goes ass backwards, etc. He basically rips the Mexican team a new one while praising the US and adds that Vucetich should also resign. He is known for being one of the few honest soccer commentators in Mexico, and not just a lapdog of Big Soccer Business down there.

cabiness42 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 http://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/10/18/ma...im-over-200000/ A proud grandfather’s wild bet that his toddler grandson would someday play professional soccer paid off when the boy made his debut this week, earning the U.K. man over a quarter of a million dollars. BBC News reports the grandfather of 16-year-old Harry Wilson placed a bet when the boy was only 18 months old that his grandson would one day play for Wales’ national soccer team. Peter Edwards wagered 50 British pounds, or $80.73, and was given odds of 2,500 to one in Wrexham, Wales. On Tuesday Wilson made his debut playing as a substitute against Belgium, making his grandfather very proud, and thousands of dollars richer.

LittleHurt05 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 In the other inter-continental playoff, Uruguay pulled off a 5-0 win in Amman today. Jordan now needs at least a 6-1 victory in Uruguay next week. Good luck to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
