To see where we are currently in the world...or at least in the Americas, we've come a long way. Sure...many of the great players are playing in that other tourny but I mean shit, we're in the final 4!! Winning our group and playing a more aggressive style compared to that 100% defensive which we used to play just a few years ago and used to fukin frustrate me!! Either way..it's been fun... June 21st USA vs ARG ..Gonna be hard playing Arg down 3 players! but still gonna be good. http://www.ca2016.com/bracket
US did come a long way, but this is the end of the road on Tuesday Argentina is too good. I liked Lalas' optimism at the post game... who know the ball is round , weird shit happens. This is a great measuring stick though.
Messi is awesome ! If the USA can hold Messi to only one goal, they will have done well. If the USA beats Argentina, it will be a major upset.
One of the commentators said that somebody from Mexico, some official I gather, was going off along the lineso of "America for Mexicans" as a promo for this game. Hope they are enjoying every fucking second of their home field. BTW, the cheapest tickers for the final game at the Meadowlands is $250 face value. Not quite SuperBowl, but still...
Brilliance of Messi is that he assists as much, if not more, as he scores. His goal earlier today was an afterthought. What really set the tone is his pass for the 1st goal. If you didn't see it, take a look. Threading the needle between 2 defenseman into just the right spot. Stopping Messi from scoring is good, but not enough
