    Re: 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup Thread

    Seriously, the fact that Mexico is in this final is one of the greatest farces I've ever witnessed in the sport.

    I honestly don't think it's a fix either. That would be giving way too much credit to the three ring circus making decisions at CONCACAF. It's completely embarrassing that they played the semi finals of their premier tournament in a dome on grass laid over turf. The ball was taking all kinds of weird hops and players were often passing short because their foot would just sink under the ball.

Then for the last 20 minutes of the game we just decided to say **** it and play long balls into the box from our own half.

      Really hope Jamaica beats Mexico, but I can't help but feel we are in for another CONCACAFing in the final. Our confederation is an absolute joke, you know it's bad when it's worse than COMNEBOL.
      The weird part was that Gordon won damn nearly every long ball but yeah, overall it's a bad strategy for us.

      I know Bradley scored and all but seeing him overrun the ball on 2-3 occasions drove me nuts. Each time it broke up what looked like a good counter-attack.

        Gordon always wins headers, that's what he does, but if we were going that route it needed to be crosses into the box from the wings just outside, not long balls from 70 yards away.

        Cross the ball into the box a few times and Gordon will out at least one of them away, absolutely guaranteed.

            I didn't watch the game but looking at these stats and the fact we lost, it looks like it was a terrible game.

                Mexico whipped up on Jamaica pretty good without Hernandez in the lineup.

                    If true, I will miss that little half man-half toad flailing around on the sideline.

                          The mexican media has always run the NT.

                          .......

                          Herrera had already lost the media, so his days were numbered anyways. At least he got to punched one of those dirtbags on the way out.

                            I always got the feeling he had a hard on for Hernandez anyway. Good riddance.
