Gold Cup Thread: USA vs Honduras....
US Starting 11: Guzan, Chandler, Brooks, Alvarado, Johnson, Beckerman, Yedlin, Zardes, Bradley, Dempsey, Altidore.
Guzman with a nice save early to keep the game level. Tied at nil, 5:30 into the game.
It's the roller coaster of hope that this program keeps us on that makes it hell being a State fan. - CadaverDawg, 10/15/22

Honduras is pushing and playing the counter. Gotta keep control and not make silly turnovers if we want to have hope tonight. It's group stage, but we are the heavy favorite.

Also, a reminder. Mexico and Honduras played a friendly in Houston that almost turned into a brawl towards the end of the game. They also broke the collarbone of Mexico's best player Chicharito. They play quick and dirty.

Very light officiating....SUPER light officiating. You touch a guy and he blows the whistle. Not the way to officiate a match.

Wow....totally not yellow card worthy and horrible officiating. If you're going to call a foul on one end, you need to call it on the other.

This guy is a completely clown. Why the **** is someone so inexperienced assigned to this game? Honduras is kicking our ass so far. Much more aggressive. We look slow and lazy.

Hell yeah, nice effort there. Good cross in from Bradley, solid attempt by Altidore saved, then Dempsey heads in the rebound. Time to pick up the pace now. We've got to start playing faster on the whole.

Amazing what scoring a goal can do. We look a whole lot better now. Faster, more aggressive, more confident and decisive. Wish we could learn how to play like this before we score.

Actually it's for a guaranteed spot in the Olympics and possibly a guaranteed bid for the World Cup if we win it two years in a row.

And no foul/penalty. This official suuuuuuucks.
Damn, I thought Yedlin had a goal there. Nice save from the Honduras keeper, though.

Honduras is good, no doubt. They just play Central American football and we play USA soccer. Two different styles of play.

A guaranteed spot in the World Cup? Come again buddy, thats what World Cup Qualifiers are for. Also, Olympic soccer is also meaningless.

Uhhhh.....only if you fail to win the Gold Cup two years in a row. Qualifiers are the hard way to get in.
ETA: Any time you put the "USA" on your chest, it means something. Especially when Olympic medals are on the line. I'd be ecstatic if we could medal in soccer at the Olympics, because we'd have to finish ahead of one of the "big 3" in Germany, Spain, and Brazil.

Sorry...the FIFA Confederations Cup is the bid I was speaking of. Which is basically a World Cup primer tournament on location of the World Cup. So if we win the Gold Cup this year, then we will have an automatic bid to the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup.
