USMNT - World Cup qualifying - The Hexagonal

[tim_redd]

So we have 8 players on yellow cards, and there will be a Mexican referee tonight. Then we play Mexico on Tuesday. Give me a break CONCACAF...

Surely you're not saying that a Mexican official would act in a shady manner to help ensure a Mexican victory? That would be crazy.

Ouch. I could see 2-3 yellows dished out.

Only can shake my head at this one.

This on top of the horrible idea that you only get two yellows before disqualification during the Hex. It is stupid, needs to be changed. 2 over a 4 game period or something like that would work, but what hard working player isn't going to pick up at least one yellow card at some point in this competition.

WEAK! I hate the yellow card rule in the first place, and putting a Mexican ref the game before we play mexico makes it real dumb.

This did give me a LOL:

It's over. U.S 2, Costa Rica 0. Klinsmann is carried off the field like a pharaoh, and he doesn't even mind getting ploinked by a urine-filled balloon as he heads to the locker room, the press conference, and Columbus.

This game is going to be physical... and with a Mexican referee... allowed. I hope our guys come home injury free as the CR team won't be restrained.

Personnally, this one did it for me. Only because its true. Not the fro part, the yellow card part.


"All across America inebriated U.S. supporters will think about Jermaine Jones’ SnoFro. And then Jones will surprise no one by drawing the first yellow card of the contest."

Anyone going to a sports bar in Ames to watch the game tonight or know which bar will carry it? Thanks in advance!

Said, woman, take it slow. It'll work itself out fine. All we need is just a little pation.
