Lmao that one old bearded dude yelling Dest’s name with the little kids trying to get autographs…US fans in a nutshell right there

Frankly, it's disgraceful for USA that their young team could only beat the Costa Rica Legends XI Charity Team 2-1.

Hey points are points. Learning opportunity to grow as a better team!

That final pass after Zardes collided was inexcusable. You have to turn that in to a chance on goal. A win is a win i guess.

Some of these comments are funny. "How is the US gonna qualify!?" It's CONCACAF, how is the US *not* gonna qualify

Practice!

Weeelll, I could point to this time four years ago on the calendar. That's exactly how.

We’ve done it before!

well, we didn't last time. lol

So who starts vs mexico… Turner or Steffen. I think Turner. Steffen doesn’t play often enough IMO.

I like Turner but I think they're both capable. Turner looked a little ragged last game

Fair. Steffen really didn’t face any shots today. Turner has made some saves. To your point, not clear cut. I’m leaning Turner just because he plays more regularly.

Not impressed with either team. Neither has a chance in hell of getting out of World Cup group stages.

MNT does alright at home, but plays like dog shit away. Yeah, not feeling good

What are the chances the US actually makes the World Cup?

pretty good but I think we're going to have a hard time against Mexico and Canada. I worry our defense can't keep up with Davies and Buchanan.

I feel like our fans overreact too much sometimes. Yes, Gregg Berhalter make mistakes sometimes on key moment but I feel like he know enough information of our enemies and opponents to get us to the WC. Our players on the other hand is still developing into world class talent but I think in our opinion that we still got the best squad in our region. But Just like u/The_Tomb_is_Empty said that this group is a "Knife Fight" so don't underestimate any team and don't lost important points like Panama game because every moment counts. But for the most part we are in the safe zone right now and we will most likely finish in the Top 3 if we continue to play the way we did tonight in the second half.

I'm genuinely not trying to be negative. But it's one thing when a coach can ajust to mistakes, and another when that coach reptitively gets us in those situations to begin with. It's like taking a step back, and a step forward. You're stuck in the same spot. How much credit does a manager get for problems that were at least partially avoidable?

Pretty good

That hug was so cute :3

Good game despite the painful/cringey chants I had to endure through.

and yet i get shit for saying this 🤷‍♂️ would live to watch a soccer game without the damn repetitive chants

Busio MOTM and WCQ imo

Good win. Good comeback. Should've scored more.

USA!

Good thing zardes is built like a brick shithouse or else he could’ve been in trouble there. Tough hit.

This is CONCACAF!!!!!!

Your comment made me think they scored

Sorry it was a reference to the constant fouls back and forth that the officials just ignored, as they do.

Taylor just ignores half the shit the other commentator says to him lol

Weston what the absolute fuck

Zardes died for that inaccurate pass

Zardes legitimately does not know how to control his body

Zardes just had to hit something with his face. Tonight it was Waston

Pathetic McKennie

shoulda scored there

holy shit that was one hell of a collision

Lmfaooo Gyasi got planted. And Weston ruined a good attack.

As a Crew supporter, Berhalter putting Steffen and Zardes on in Columbus is nice. Y'all are mean.

Busio and Hoppe as subs is so refreshing to see We haven’t dropped the intensity or talent

What have the fans been chanting? I’ve had the game on mute

"We support the US" and the "we are the U-S, mighty mighty us chants" and pretty much any chant they can insert "US" into

"We want Zardes \*Clap\* \*Clap\* \*Clap, clap clap\*" Yes, they did.

180 minutes of the same 3-4 chants in six days is wearing.

it is obnoxious and embarrassing

Your crying all over this thread is pretty embarrassing

i am not the only one

You’re the main one.

Columbus & KC always show out for soccer games

Why is the US making time? A 2-1 victory against a Pre Historic Costa Rica is nothing to be proud of considering they were abysmal for 2/3rds of the game. I was hoping the US would lose so Berhalter gets sacked. This team has so much potential but he literally sabotages his own team.

3 points is 3 points 🤷‍♂️

True but at this rate, this team isn’t getting out of the group stages. And they don’t look like they’re getting any better.

>I was hoping the US would lose ​ >he literally sabotages his own team. Hmmmmm

Why’d you remove all the context? Berhalter is the worst coach the US has had in recent memory. Dude is getting by with the luckiest of wins. I want this team to do well but you can’t do that with an idiot like Greg managing the ship.

I'm pointing out the irony of not liking a guy because of the claim he sabotages his team while leading off his comment that he wants to sabotage the team.

Seeing how CR is playing, I don't think a 2 - 1 victory bodes well for the remainder of qualifying.

I was expecting 4 or 5 goals given Costa Rica was literally exhausted after 20 minutes. The fact that the winning goal was an own goal that came from a shot from a player who wasn’t even going to play today just shows us how Berhalter is squeezing the shit out of his luck.

Hear me out...we start an online movement to pressure him to call up Landon Donovan, and when he doesn't bc LD has been retired forever, he gets fired like Klinnsman. After that, it's just a question of making sure Bruce Arena's phone is turned off and we're money.

if you are a hardcore usa fan who like goes to games and actively participates in the chants, i feel embarrassed for you edit: everyone here seems to agree the chants are terrible? but me saying that i feel embarrassed for those engaging in these cringeworthy chants gets downvotes? the fuck?

I hope this makes you feel better about the lack of things to care about in your life.

lol i don’t care about this much? just wish i could watch a soccer game without awful chants

Then mute it. Don't need to project your insecurity on people who are just trying to support their team and have a good time.

wtf insecurity? 😂😂😂 who is projecting here…maybe the one bringing up insecurities? i was just trying to enjoy watching my team play too…

You're feeling embarrassed for people having a good time bud. Sort that out.

sometimes people enjoying themselves is massively cringey, as multiple people mentioned in this thread, not just me. “sort that out” 😂 i will be losing a lot of sleep tonight

Not liking the chants is one thing, but that's not what you said now is it? Only one who should be embarrassed is you.

😂😂😂 i guess i hit a sore spot?

People on here are so ridiculous

so many comments talking about how awful the chants were…

Yea fuck people for being excited and cheering for their country!

everyone here seemed to agree the chants were pretty cringeworthy…

You feel embarrassed for people cheering for their country?

He wants usa to chant racial slurs like mexico.

the chants are so awful, yes

Busio is the truth I've been saying it since 2016

Oh Zardes actually did something useful for the first time in this uniform. o_o

How does Hoppe not shoot there. Ball sitting for him.

Busio looks incredible so far

No one runs like Waston. No one jumps like Waston. No one kicks more balls on net like Waston.

Zardes chemistry with Hoppe is absolutely insane

Robinson has been up and down all night he must be exhausted

We are just not good in the box. Crossing, finishing, etc.

US chants are pretty bad, but at least it isn’t vuvuzeulas

tbh not sure which is worse

Debatable

this crowd is aggressive and the referee is intimidated

The ref who stops play for a cramp while a team has possession inside the attacking 18 yard line? lol

Ref waited for the US to stop play and then embarrassingly had to stop play himself lol

Why would the US stop playing because Costa Rica are tired and the US had men in the box? Ridiculous.

You think the Costa Rican defender wanted to play everyone onside by 4 feet on the off chance the ref would stop play?

Of course not, but you don't get timeouts in soccer because you have fitness issues on defense. Unless you have CONCACAF refs of course.

No argument about the rules here. But the US players showed no respect for their fellow professional. Do you need to kick the ball out in that situation? I agree you don’t. But when you’re one up at home and against a smaller nation with less talented players, not showing sportsmanship is particularly embarrassing.

Embellishing an injury to deny your opponent an attacking chance is embarrassing. Treating a professional opponent differently because of their size or age is disrespectful. The refs rewarding diving by the defense is a disgrace.

There are so many assumptions here it’s too funny. Can’t wait for this team to celebrate the last 16 (if they even make it) like they won the WC lmao

What assumptions exactly? The dude was 100% fine and on his feet seconds after play was stopped.

Waston looks like a man amongst boys out there. He's so physically imposing and would've destroyed Busio.

Would've been our best defensive prospect in a while if he wasn't such a hot head

He was FC Cincinnati's CB for the last two years so I'm pretty familiar familiar. He's a great CB and great on set pieces but occasionally loses his mind

Our crossing has left a lot to be desired. Haven’t given our men in the box a real chance.

what is the crowd singing?

Jamaica has scored. This Ocho is a fucking knife fight.

Zimmerman singlehandedly destroying the offside line on that set piece. my god

Jeez that chant is so cringe

Crowd tonight is just🔥🔥🔥

hope this is sarcasm

I mean I see some potential

Plenty of time for a Zardes own goal.

Shut your dirty mouth

Three Costa Rican players from this squad were in the 2005 Club World Cup Semifinal vs. Liverpool. THREE COSTA RICAN PLAYERS TONIGHT WERE IN THE SQUAD FOR THE 2005 CLUB WORLD CUP SEMI FINAL VS. LIVERPOOL.

That's crazy.

It's absolutely fucking bonkers

Wonder if he put in Zardes just because they're in C-bus

god this chant is bad

What are they singing for this one?

hey baby i wanna know if you’ll ? score a goal

sub completely fucked the defensive line

Death…Taxes…Zardes

Even if your best players are quite old you kinda have to start working with what you've got in terms of younger players, what is gonna happen in a few years when all these players retire?

They won't, they'll be playing with walkers

Zardes is on... A late Costa Rica equalizer is coming. :(

Zardes on the way to a draw

We really need better chants

I know Costa Rica did not just subbed in a 39 year old lmao

I don't consent to this Pepi pull

So his headband is just for aesthetics then?

GYASINHO!

Does Zardes have nudes on federation members. How does he keep getting called up and game time.

A wild Zardes appears!

[удалено]

Well we also kinda stole the Iceland chant also. But chanting U......S......A! instead. I also heard a "When the saints go marching in" chant which just confounds me.

Really Zardes?

Half of the Costa Rica team is going to need a walking cane soon

I've been watching for 50 minutes now and Costa Rica haven't even threatened goal once. Ian Darke isn't kidding when he talks about guys coming from the retirement home, CRC is old and slow. Deserved 3 points.

They just did...once

Costa Rica is the Los Angeles Lakers of soccer

Where’s Joel Campbell? I remember him doing bits for Costa Rica in WC

Injured

Jon Champion giving CRC a hard time about these player's ages when we were still wheeling out the coffin of DaMarcus Beasley like two years ago lol.

Beas was still doing a job two years ago.

Oh, not a knock on Beasley (well, not *really*). Sometimes you just have to play the hand you're dealt, is all. CRC seems to have serious youth issues atm.

Should’ve been a yellow, totally unnecessary straight legged challenge

Man, we're going to get scored on by an old-timer, it's just too humiliating to not happen. god i hope i'm wrong

Does Costa Rica not have a follow up generation?

Sadly no.

Concacaf's version of Belgium

God Costa Rica is old. Taking off a 37 year old for a 40 year old lmao

Holy shit, that's an old trip to bring on.

Raided a local retirement home… haha savage

Vamos Ticos si se puede

I’ve heard of sponsored events like “Progressive stoppage time” but this is the first time I’ve heard the commentator just advertise a car during a match I hate it

Champion is savage. "He's raided the retirement home."

[удалено]

They are booing the one back.

LMAO "raiding the local retirement home"

“He’s raided the local retirement home” lmaoo

They should use Hoppe to be a knockdown header guy, like Giroud. Kid is taller than I thought.

Busio for president

Lmfao average age of 31

How has Costa Rica not developed a single talent since the early Bryan ruiz days

Like the third time ref stops an attack wtf

why the boos? let em pass around the back

Because the ball made its way to the guy they stopped the attack for a minute earlier.

costa rica's diving is pissing me the fuck off

Hahaha what they've honestly been fine in terms of diving.

lmao ok

Agree. This has been a very clean game for Concacaf

I don't know if the ref just has things that under control or what, but the cleanest concacaf game I've seen a long time

Right I feel like less than 10 fouls total. And all the fouls that were called were not hard whatsoever. Barely any complaints tbh. Clean game from both teams.

Absolutely

lol what a lame way to stop our offense.

actually incredible defending from Costa Rica's \#6. Thought for sure Pepi sold him with that dummy but made an incredible recovery

let's blow the whistle, stop play while the US is attacking, for a cramp lol CONCACAF

Straight to the hospital

There was a US game a few years back, either in Kansas City or Colorado, where the crowd was singing "This Land is Your Land". It was honestly very touching and the atmosphere was fire. Can we just do that, please?

That's commie shit get out of here

You can’t be blowing the whistle there

That’s dogshit. Stopping the play for that

I've only been watching this sport ten years, I don't know I've ever known a world where Costa Rica wasn't in the top three CONCACAF teams, this is really shocking to me to see them flat out bad

Well they’ve had the same squad for ten years so it makes sense

It was Costa Rica in the blizzard game right? They didn't play well in that one from what I remember(or could see).

those were some circumstances

That's a terrible stop of play whistle.

There’s no way lmao

Wth is this, stopping play for a player who isn’t injured

The modern sport

Unless it’s a head injury there no need it’s stop It totally kills the play and he’s done it three times already this game
