Gold Cup: USA vs. Costa Rica

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

What: USA vs. Costa Rica (Final Group Stage Match)

When: 8:00 P.M.

Where: Fox Soccer Channel

Tonight the USA takes an eight match unbeaten streak into a game with a pretty good Costa Rican team that is still fuming from their denied protest in their 1-0 loss to the U.S. in the Snow Bowl.

Costa Rica believes that they would have won the game if they weren't out of their element.

However, Klinsmann sees is differently and is quoted as saying that if it wasn't for the snow the U.S. would have beaten Costa Rica by three goals.

Tonight the 22nd ranked U.S. Men's National Team and the 39th ranked Costa Rican Men's National Team are fighting for the top spot in Group C in what is anticipated to be the best game of all the group stage games.

Both teams have already advanced and are now fighting for seeding. With a win or a draw the U.S. will advance as the first place team in Group C, with a loss Costa Rica will advance as the first place team in group C.

[Doc Holiday]

anywhere that we can watch thats not on fox sports soccer?? pm me if need be

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Not 100% sure. O'm sure there is some sites you can stream it from.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

No one has really stepped up so far...

 

Goodson is playing well in the back, but besides that there isn't much going for us.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I will also say this, that is a sh*tty crowd in Connecticut, they need to bring a game to Charlotte. 

 

When the Mexican men's national team played a game at BofA they sold out the whole damn stadium.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

With the way this game is being called, you might want to bring in some more physical players like Beckerman, Shea, or Onyewu.

poo donovan missed an easy chance off that rebound.  He rushed it and tapped it right to the keeper

Obvious red card...

 

I had the privileged of being a ref for five years and one of the 5 send off offenses is denying a goal scoring opportunity by hand.

 

I'd love to know how a Fifa ref get's this wrong.
