Gold Cup Thread: USA vs Honduras....

[War Machine Dawg]

Kinda funny how the two guys assigned to a relegated team are sticking around.

No doubt. Hopefully Hull can bounce right back up to the EPL and only spend one season in the Championship. I did notice there have been several attempts from Norwich, I think, to buy Robbie Brady. Going to be interesting to see who Hull gets rid of between now and the transfer deadline to shed payroll. Personally, I'd move Huddlestone. He did nothing to impress me last season.

We got rid of Nigel Pearson.....so he's available. Fans are LIVID

Copa America and the Euros are high level, and the African Cup of Nations isn't bad? Other than that, every other continental championship is basically two/three average teams filled with average players beating up on a field of really poor teams until they play each other in the final.

Uh...ok...

Ouch. I just hope we hold onto Andy Robertson. There has been a ton of interest around him. Still don't know why Bruce didn't play him more last season. That's one of the only real gripes I have with how Bruce managed last season.

Wondolowski on for Altidore.

Chris Wondolowski in for Jozy Altidore

Good sub, IMO.

Yeah, before the season, my research showed that Huddlestone was supposed to be a star, but I think I saw while watching the final match of the season that he didn't score a single goal all year.

Really, the main reason we go relegated is because around the fifth game or so, after a pretty strong start, I think we had like three starters go down with injuries in the same game. I was receiving the updates on my phone. It was brutal.

No question about it, DX. Injuries absolutely gutted us. Lost Snodgrass, who we paid big money for in the summer transfer window, for the season in just the first game. Lost Jelavic for 6+ weeks twice. Lost Dawson for about 6 weeks. Same for Abel Hernandez. Ben Arfa never contributed and got cut midseason. Lost Mo Diame for the season about halfway through and he had been our best player to that point. It was brutal.

Hey...if you're in Starkville, Dave's is showing the match.

I am, but there is like 20 minutes remaining. Not quite worth it.

Dave's will be showing every match since they are the American Outlaws location for Starkville. So if there's a USA National Team match, you can watch it there.

If I'm Jurgen Kilnsmann after this match, I'm bringing out some whoopass to get this team back mentally. They are not mentally there and it's showing.
