Gold Cup: USA vs. Costa Rica

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.

    • I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years. 
    • I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
