The "I'm Watching _____" Thread

[MaestroZidane]

I'm gonna start watching the stream on the background, since i've got nothing better to do.

Just a question about both teams' lineups. Both of the teams are just mainly playing without their grade A players right?

Ok... someone just scored the second goal right now.

The US NT has a few A players, but most of them are getting a shot to prove how good they can be.

Bradley is the best player we've ever produced.

 

[chygry]

Mmm i see.. Bradley, Dempsey and Beckerman are the only familiar names for me from the US side. Pretty much the same amount of players from the Mexico side.

 

[MaestroZidane]

Bradley is the best player we've ever produced.

He just may be.

It's a shame he left Roma to play in the MLS .

 

[chygry]

He did good at Roma though, at least that's positive.

So the first half ends 2-0 for US, Mexico better get their act together, the last few minutes looked like Sunday league on a shitty pitch.

 

[Bobby]

Piojo getting into it with the ref.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Bradley really needs to go back to Europe. He could push for a place in just about every midfield on the continent.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Chygry, the teams didn't call up their European based players because this isn't an international break.

 

[MaestroZidane]

Looks like someone forgot to mark their man in that corner kick

 

[Bobby]

Mexico look much more lively in this half.

I'd take him into our rotation and we are pretty stacked. He's better than guarin

 

[MaestroZidane]

Mexico already came close to scoring their second goal. Our defense is looking shaky...

and as I type that, Mexico equalizes... FFS!!

Yeah i know, it's obvious. It's just that i don't know anything about the US main players besides the ones i mentioned earlier plus Donovan.

Mexico has who, ehm... Gio, Chicha, Herrera, Aquino and Guardado in Europe. I'm quite sure i'm forgetting somebody. Anyway it was a stupid question by me in the first place.

Oh and 2-2, that's more like it.

 

[Bobby]

Some players for both teams weren't called up because their Mexican clubs had Champions League semi-finals this week, or they just didn't release them.

 

[chygry]

I see.. Are some American players who are important for their national team playing in Liga MX? : o

Just remember that i have absolutely no clue about MLS or Liga MX, that's why the ignorant questions. Almost 3-2.

Beasley and a few fringe players. Tijuana has a lot of young Americans.

 

[MaestroZidane]

an exciting game, too bad we didn't win this, but a 2-2 draw will do.

 

[Bobby]

Can't pull that crap against Germany and Portugal though, they'll eat us alive if we do.

Oh i didn't know that. I always thought that most of the players in the US national team were from MLS, wouldn't have thought about Mexico. I guess you learn something new everyday.

It would be good for your team if more players played their football in Europe though. I'm quite confident that some have got the quality. I remember Donovan being on loan at Everton and he was pretty damn good for them. Altidore is in Europe as well, but to be honest he hasn't done much at Sunderland.

+ Moreno, Reyes, and Ochoa. Jonathan DS is still coming back from injury and Vela who doesn't want to play for "personal" reasons.

First half to the US, second half to Mexico.
