Seeing all these injuries in the Gold Cup, multiple injuries to players from the US, Canada, Mexico, and now Honduras, I would hope quell the "why did we bring a B team to this tournament?" questions.

Because those injuries would for sure happen to the other player? Strange logic there. :-)

How was your trip to Austria? That's how long it has been since I have seen a post from you.

Mookie been a refugee, stuck in Florida since early May.
home country is closed to expats....

we are all depressed here.
 
Kind of surprised at the reaction from the USWNT, they’re all “well, we got our butts kicked so we need to move on to the next one”. A very understated response, something very atypical for them, especially in a major tournament.

Granted, Hope Solo’s not around anymore so maybe that’s it.

All the best sports commentators on social media are saying this is because they kneeled before the game. Something they surely never did in the previous 44 unbeaten.

As much as I disagree with the USWNT, I can’t stand those fucking people.

Between the conservatards and the WoSo Stans any discussion about them on social media turns stupid real quick.

Nothing a trip to Subway for a team meeting can't figure out.
 
Group B on the women's side had some crazy scores. Brazil 5-0 over China and Netherlands 10-3 over Zambia. Netherlands was expected to be a blowout, but not too often both teams have someone get a hat trick.

TIL that a) Marta is still playing and b) Pia Sundhage is the coach for Brazil.
 
Seattle, decimated by injuries and international call ups, are starting five teenagers against Austin. The first time in MLS history.

Obed Vargas (who is from Anchorage BTW) is 15. Probably the youngest ever starter in years.

Edit: Third youngest starter ever. Freddy Adu and Alphonso Davies are the only ones younger.

Good for the kid from Anchorage. That is a hell of a leap to make to get developed that quick and far coming from there.

US Soccer has also annouced that Austin will host the Oct. 7th WC Qualifier against Jamaica.

Vargas is a lot of fun to watch with the Defiance. Never realized he grew up in Anchorage.

Yup, and his family still lives here. His dad still coaches (I actually just refereed his team Tuesday) and his sister (who's a year older I think, maybe two) is a better player I always felt. Kind of a sad contrast with two and the men's game vs the women's game, he got to move to the Sounders Academy at 14 and his sister will be lucky to get on a DII team.

Refereeing his games it was pretty clear he was the best player on the field by miles, even if he was a PITA from a referee perspective. Crazy that in less than two years, he moved to Seattle and their academy in fall 2019, he went from playing in the Alaska State Cup to MLS.
 
Seattle gets to halftime 0-0.

That's a win in my book. I'm just happy they made it 15 minutes without one of the kids crapping their pants.
 
USWNT scores six in the first 45 minutes against New Zealand, but four are called back due to offsides. 2-0 at half.

Two were obvious. One was close, but still an easy call. One I thought might've actually been on, but a quick VAR check said it was still off.
