[Gene]

Tillman (16', 41'), Agyemang (44'), Aaronson (82'), Wright (84').
Freese with the clean sheet.


Costa Rica v Suriname getting ready to start their match.
AMart in the Starting XI for Costa Rica, so I'm going to watch this match for a bit on FS1.

 

[Gene]

Alonso gets a 5th minute yellow for a flop in the area!

 

[Gene]

Alonso puts Costa Rica up 1-0 in the 14'!

 

[Kenny]

IDK how the competition works but might we see Alonso vs. Freese in a knockout game?

 

[Gene]

Didn't plan on staying up to watch the entire match, but it was too good to turn off.
Costa Rica took a 2-0 lead.
Suriname scores the next 3.
Costa Rica ties it in the 76' and wins it with a PK at 90' + 13'.

 

[Gene]

USA up 1-0 v Saudi Arabia.
Chris Richards in the 63'.
Freese in nets.

 

[mgarbowski]

No goals conceded but it sounds like Freese was very much unchallenged.

The soccer coverage in ESPN is usually trivial crap, but this article is very good IMHO

The USMNT is a mess. That's the price of the U.S. becoming a 'soccer country'

The more the U.S. cares about soccer and produces better players, the more dysfunctional the USMNT becomes. That's just how it is.

Good call. Very interesting analysis of why we are where we are.

 

[Gene]

Alonso puts one past Freese in the 71' to knot the match at 2-2.

Alonso will a curler that hits the post. This is looking like it's heading to penalties.

 

[BxLio91]

I expect some offers to come in for Alonso real soon.

I expect some offers to come in for Alonso real soon.

He's currently 26, which is the same age as Taty who has played a couple season in Europe already.

 

[Kenny]

Freese had a good game after his big blunder last game. Neither goal his fault. Good effort on the pen IMO.

But let’s see how the shootout goes…

 

[LionNYC]

Freese goes to the right, Martinez right down the middle. NYCFC on NYCFC penalty shootout action.

 

[BxLio91]

Red Bull DNA. Choker

 

[BxLio91]

MATTY FUCKING ICE. OFFERS COMING IN FOR HIM TOO.

 

[GratefulDawg]

One NYCFC goal.
One NYCFC penalty.
Three NYCFC penalty saves.
Two Red Bulls penalty misses.

Boys, it don't get no better than this.

 

[moogoo]

ice man solid in goal tonight. his shootout performance was about as good as you can ask for from a keeper. went the correct way 5 out of 6 times and was unlucky not to save more.

happy for him. sorry alonso, but we need you back to lead the line.

 

[Shwafta]

So will Alonso be in the lineup on thursday do you think?
