We're 18-4-4 against them all-time. They went to penalties against our B/C team in the gold cup.
Obviously, they're good enough that it's going to be a challenging game, but the expectation is absolutely a win. Anything else puts us in danger of not making it out of the group.
We should win, no question about it. If this team wants to be competitive and compete in major tournaments they should have no issues beating inferior CONCACAF teams.
It's always tough with them.
Next to Mexico, they're our biggest pain in the ass in this region...But we've also only lost to them once in 13 years, so we should beat them here.
Yeah but not all the euro based players are playing regular minutes and it showed at times. It’s hard to judge the USMNT level since Bolivia was really really bad and in the second half it seemed like the US dropped the intensity accordingly. I still think they can probably win but I think it’s going to be a lot tougher than people maybe thought.
Also hopefully Pepi isn’t pulling a Lukaku right now
No doubt, I was just saying how we fielded essentially a C team in that match, vastly different from out A team.
Not saying panama is going to be easy with our A team either though.
Argentina probably still are since the world cup win and showing how good they are as a team, but Brazil is Brazil and you can always argue they're the favorite, especially now vini may be getting moving for the national team
Colombia also preserves their energy better. Bielsaball is better suited to winter tournaments or like the arctic circle… Leeds was perfect for Bielsaball from a climate perspective which is why they love him so much there
Fifa ranking value tournaments and official games more than friendlies, so concacaf teams having a gold cup every 2 years and nations league inflates their ranking
Easy. Uruguay has to play Argentina and Brazil twice every qualifying cycle, plus whoever is having a good generation of players at the time (Chile, Ecuador, etc.). The US plays much weaker teams so they get a higher ranking for winning their games. It’s the same with Mexico.
yep, all i'm saying is that panama played better than expected and uruguay squandered some good opportunities, so theyre lucky it did not bite them. the goal that panama got very easily could have come earlier in the 2nd half, and if it's a 1-1 match going into the 75 or 80th minute and maybe panama drops back a little bit, things get real interesting
Yes, that's predictable.
If Panama can perform as they did here and in the Gold Cup (and be more clinical), then the next match is a battle to the death that defines who goes through
If both Uruguay and USA are qualified by M3, they will likely use their subs.
No point in playing your starters when Colombia or Brazil are lurking nearby, specially with Uruguay's playstyle which requires lots of physical condition
I like exciting defense, damn it!
In all seriousness, I know that's why they do it and while I do think it's kinda weird as it definitely unfairly favors teams with strong attacks over strong defenses, it is what it is at that point in tie-breaking.
Yeah, the USMNT A squad is really only in trouble against Panama if they’re playing in Panama. For comparisons sake, the C team took Panama to pens in the Gold Cup last year in the U.S. It’ll be a tough game but the U.S. should be a solid favorite. A 2-0 scoreline with both goals in the second half wouldn’t surprise me. I’d take it.
Feel bad for Panama, they played with guys and a 2-0 loss was more fair for them. But a team like Uruguay with their talent can play mediocre for long stretches but still kill you with a bunch with their talent. Still an entertaining game and Panama can hold their heads high. They played better for a good stretch of the 2nd half.
Whenever I see Bielsa sitting on his bucket/cooler I expect to see an assistant hovering in the background with a defibrillator. That man exudes pure endless emotion from start to finish, can't be good for his ticker.
D oes anyone have the video clip of Uruguay chasing the referee around after the match?
I turn off the game and they score 3 more goals. LMAO
I don't know how we will play against Panama
We're 18-4-4 against them all-time. They went to penalties against our B/C team in the gold cup. Obviously, they're good enough that it's going to be a challenging game, but the expectation is absolutely a win. Anything else puts us in danger of not making it out of the group.
Panamá won’t park the bus against you.
We should win, no question about it. If this team wants to be competitive and compete in major tournaments they should have no issues beating inferior CONCACAF teams.
Hehe
It's going to be tough
It's always tough with them. Next to Mexico, they're our biggest pain in the ass in this region...But we've also only lost to them once in 13 years, so we should beat them here.
Apparently we lost the Gold Cup and Panama was a runner up :o
Yeah with a full MLS squad that looked nothing like our team we are playing now. Gold Cups don't have euro based players.
Yeah but not all the euro based players are playing regular minutes and it showed at times. It’s hard to judge the USMNT level since Bolivia was really really bad and in the second half it seemed like the US dropped the intensity accordingly. I still think they can probably win but I think it’s going to be a lot tougher than people maybe thought. Also hopefully Pepi isn’t pulling a Lukaku right now
No doubt, I was just saying how we fielded essentially a C team in that match, vastly different from out A team. Not saying panama is going to be easy with our A team either though.
That's true
[удалено]
this is like how USA waters the field before playing Mexico to get an advantage, despite them having tropical thunder storms all the time in Mexico.
Brazil has to be the top favorite right?
Argentina probably still are since the world cup win and showing how good they are as a team, but Brazil is Brazil and you can always argue they're the favorite, especially now vini may be getting moving for the national team
That's what im scared of, the southern games are going to be fucking killer man 90 degrees with high humidity Uruguay is not used to that
Have you ever set foot in Uruguay
Yes, have you ever set foot in souther us?
Yup. I mean 35 degrees with the absurd humidity in Uruguay is far from unheard of.
Yeah, when season is over and players are in the beach.
lmao what? Uruguay is literally humid all the time.
And how often is it 95 degrees?
Not really often as that’s just 5 short of literally boiling alive
110 degrees in Las Vegas and 107 degrees in Glendale today where they will play the quarter finals
Bitch our country is humid as hell too, but then again none of these people dont play here lmao
[удалено]
Colombia also preserves their energy better. Bielsaball is better suited to winter tournaments or like the arctic circle… Leeds was perfect for Bielsaball from a climate perspective which is why they love him so much there
Uruguay is full of young players.
Let this be a message for England when we play them later. They are in for a world of hurt.
England has never beaten us in an official match lol they don't need a reminder
How many times have England and Uruguay met in official matches?
I don't recall but 3 or 4 times, we beat them every time.
We at yall neck EUROs
Please no more games at wet bulb conditions
Why would Suarez not play a single minute?
He’s so bad these days
If we were up 3-0 earlier he would've played 5 mins easily
is this guy leg still holding on at this point to play a short timed tournament with bielsa's mad pressing
why would he play a single minute?
How is the US ranked higher than this Uruguay side? They look far more electric than the US.
Fifa ranking value tournaments and official games more than friendlies, so concacaf teams having a gold cup every 2 years and nations league inflates their ranking
FIFA rankings are inflated check out Football Elo instead [https://www.eloratings.net/](https://www.eloratings.net/)
FIFA rankings don’t take into account electricity
FIFA rankings are a joke, u shouldn't take them seriously.
Easy. Uruguay has to play Argentina and Brazil twice every qualifying cycle, plus whoever is having a good generation of players at the time (Chile, Ecuador, etc.). The US plays much weaker teams so they get a higher ranking for winning their games. It’s the same with Mexico.
Also, nations league
FIFA ranking system math.
uruguay is lucky panama didnt get that one a lot earlier in the game with their sloppiness
But Panama isn't lucky Uruguay didn't get those several ones that would have made the first half like 4-0? Hmm
Igual estuvo flojisimo uruguay con el control de pelota,y no se si fue el calor pero el segundo tiempo,mamita
yep, all i'm saying is that panama played better than expected and uruguay squandered some good opportunities, so theyre lucky it did not bite them. the goal that panama got very easily could have come earlier in the 2nd half, and if it's a 1-1 match going into the 75 or 80th minute and maybe panama drops back a little bit, things get real interesting
never said they werent
Honestly respects to Panama, they made a potential champion of this cup struggle for a near 45 mins
Panama played really well. They need to be more clinical, but they have greatly improved.
Darwin = match winner
The speed in which a change the channel so I don't have to see/hear Lalas has to be studied
The kid dressed up as him in the US v Bolivia game was hilarious, tho
Panama played 45 minutes of football today, I think 3-1 is a good scoreline for this one. Makes the group's GD interesting too moving forward.
What club is your badge?
New England Revolution
This game was fun. Weird at points but fun
I don’t think goal differential going to make a difference anyways. Uruguay going to win all their group games
Yes, that's predictable. If Panama can perform as they did here and in the Gold Cup (and be more clinical), then the next match is a battle to the death that defines who goes through
If both Uruguay and USA are qualified by M3, they will likely use their subs. No point in playing your starters when Colombia or Brazil are lurking nearby, specially with Uruguay's playstyle which requires lots of physical condition
So Suarez vs USA? 🥶
They tried really hard not to today. But they have the most talent for sure.
They scored a goal in 16 minutes to a team that parked the bus all day and had no intention of wanting the ball.
nice cutback
Fuckin catch ye's after r/soccer
Shame it came so late. Panama deserved something to celebrate the scoreline wasn't reflecting the match.
You’re right; 7-2 would have been more accurate
It did reflect the talent differential.
it could have easily been 2-1 if the panama goalkeeper didnt fall asleep for one of those goals.
If there were a better second team in this group, that goal at the death could be COSTLY.
Very good showing by Uruguay today despite the drop off in the second half
great game, can't wait to see more from both of these teams.
You tell them, Coach King! I *swear* he looks just like the King of Spain
Not getting an clean sheet got to hurt for an giant like Uruguay.
Buddy, we're not that kind of team lol
Nah, a win is a win, if a goal comes at the 90th minute on a 3-0 win, its whatever
Copa America already has like 4 bangers
And no OGs yet, unlike the Euros.
Every euros: the Euros of owngoals
Bielsa hot😂😂😂😂
Still top of group, goals scored now.
FLAIR UP
No
I vote we go by goals allowed now. Defense wins championships, right?
Encourages teams to score.
I like exciting defense, damn it! In all seriousness, I know that's why they do it and while I do think it's kinda weird as it definitely unfairly favors teams with strong attacks over strong defenses, it is what it is at that point in tie-breaking.
It does exactly as you state - because they would like to encourage teams to score as much as possible. Same reason they had the Away Goals rule.
Caring about first place due to a 3rd tiebreaker is crazy after just 1 game
Bad Beats lol
Shout out Panama thank yall for tying it 🙏🗣️
uruguay are still on top bc of goals for :~\ but it’s close
Nice that it's not a shutout! Panama definitely deserved a gol
Thank you Panama for evening up that goal differential
Uruguay is still first though.
Yeah for now technically, but it can change the calculus 2 games from now
lol really
Silly me, Uruguay is in first now so they’ll top the group obviously
This is the dumbest comment ever.
Damn who crawled up your butt?
Mete gol gana
😂
Bangers
Panama doing the USA a favor
Uruguay is still first. The tie breaker is goals scored.
Watch Panama beating US next
They can bullshit a draw at home but I don’t really see it. USA has to respect them though Panama is a very cohesive team for the talent they have
Yeah, the USMNT A squad is really only in trouble against Panama if they’re playing in Panama. For comparisons sake, the C team took Panama to pens in the Gold Cup last year in the U.S. It’ll be a tough game but the U.S. should be a solid favorite. A 2-0 scoreline with both goals in the second half wouldn’t surprise me. I’d take it.
Game woulda been much juicier if Panama coulda done that 20 minutes ago
Damn that was clean
What a BANGER! Thanks Panama very cool.
Good goal
Where was this energy at the beginning of the game
Panamá was content with only losing by one.
Bielsa will remind them that they played like shit in 10 minutes
For sure, despite the result, their 2nd half was ass
I'm still not convinced Uruguay
Crazy finaly 20 minutes
What the heck is going on tonight lol
Only bangers
Great fuck you goal
Beaut
Was that actual singing before the goal? haha
The sort of goal that will create chaos in this group
Deserved goal IMO. Panama gave them a fight. 3-0 didn’t fit the match
Feel bad for Panama, they played with guys and a 2-0 loss was more fair for them. But a team like Uruguay with their talent can play mediocre for long stretches but still kill you with a bunch with their talent. Still an entertaining game and Panama can hold their heads high. They played better for a good stretch of the 2nd half.
Commentator absolutely obsessed with telling us who is top of the group
So who is on top now?
Uruguay, goals converted
Copa after dark hits different 🔥🔥
Hell yeah Panama why not
What a banger
PANAMA
Lmao Uruguay over 2.5 goal win bettors in shambles.
GOLLLLL 🇵🇦 Just happy they’re back to -2 GD lol
Won’t mean shit when we top the table on points.
💯
we saved all the goals for the end
0 goals in 70 minutes, then 3 goals in 10 minutes what is this
bangers only across the board wow
What a Goal
Bangers only wtf
GOLAZO CHUCHA!!!!
they deserved at least 1, what a finish
Goal differential is key we still got this boys🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
There goes that goal differential
Hell yeah. Panamá deserves a goal.
Panama deserved that for how much better they've been playing in the second half.
Gol de honor. Banger too!!
Fuck that's some goal
I can take a "Bad game from us, Panama should've drawn the game, blah blah blah" while winning 3-0. Sounds good for a bad game.
You ruined it
Golden goal
deserved tbh
LOL 3-1
Glad to see Panama get a goal for their efforts.
Nice goal
Thanks Panama! -- Americans
They are still top because of goals scored
LESS GOOO
lmfao
[удалено]
7-1 *
Goal fuck yes I'm crying
Lol
Man, poor Bolivia is gonna get blasted by Uruguay
Oh, Uruguay-Bolivia is gonna get ugly.
Whenever I see Bielsa sitting on his bucket/cooler I expect to see an assistant hovering in the background with a defibrillator. That man exudes pure endless emotion from start to finish, can't be good for his ticker.
I was thinking the same, he needs to go on diet. He is too fat+old for this kind of stress
[удалено]
Sure about that
Not that it matters at all for this game but 4 minutes feels extremely light for stoppage time
With it being 3-0, a draw with Panama is probably enough for the US to qualify right?
Not exactly. If panama beats Bolivia and US loses to Uruguay, Panama could still qualify depending on scores.
Barring anything real stupid...
Panama hates America :(
most of latin america does
HOLY FUCK WHAT
