NFT: USMNT vs Martinique tonight - 9p - FoxSports1

B in ALB : 7/12/2017 5:48 pm
Where is Martinique you say?



Martinique has a population of 336,000. Its chief exports are fruits, beverages and refined petroleum products. There are approximately 260,000 native Martinicans living in mainland France, mostly around the Paris region. Most of the emigration occurred in the 1970s. The official language on the island is French but many residents also speak Martiniquan Creole.

Music is particularly popular in on Martinique where Zouk music gained tremendous popularity and became particularly famous in France during the late 20th Century.

Paul Gauguin lived on Martinique in the late 19th Century and in the movie Assassins Creed III, Benjamin Church was trying to escape to the island. Its main airport, Martinique Aimé Césaire International Airport, serves flights to Europe, Venezuela, Canada, the Caribbean and the US. Lizards, snakes and Mongooses are all indigenous to the island.


Should be a blowout.

Last "cycle" there were two gold cups. If there were two different winners they played each other. Winner went to confederations cup. Mexico beat ius in that playoff.
Made it thru

Yeah, Acosta was poor.

Excited to see Lichaj back in the mix and what Roldan can do.

Very different team today.

I'll keep an eye on it but it's kind of the "C" team tonight, at least at several positions. Which is fine - let's see these guys play.
Why is Guzan starting  
Joey from GlenCove : 7/12/2017 9:27 pm : link
Waste

Bill hamid should start
Ummm, Zardes...  
Mr. Bungle : 7/12/2017 9:27 pm : link
...try to keep it in the stadium?

Jeff Agoos' best friend. Puke.
Martinique just hit the fuckin post  
B in ALB : 7/12/2017 9:39 pm : link
This is a pathetic performance by the us.

C team or not. Defending is terrible. Possession is terrible. Finishing is terrible.
Jesus..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 7/12/2017 9:41 pm : link
we look bad
We could be up..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 7/12/2017 9:46 pm : link
3-0 if we could pass worth a damn of if Zardes would stop shooting.
we could also be down, frankly.  
Del Shofner : 7/12/2017 9:49 pm : link
.
Especially..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 7/12/2017 9:50 pm : link
in the last 90 seconds. Two excellent chances for Martinique
Wow, really weak finish to the half  
PatersonPlank : 7/12/2017 9:50 pm : link
Might Martinique has had two great chances.
This is embarrassing  
B in ALB : 7/12/2017 9:50 pm : link
Martinique clearly having the better chances. US looks like shit.

Excuses galore from Landy Cakes.
If Jurgey was still coaching  
B in ALB : 7/12/2017 9:52 pm : link
Landy Cakes would be murdering the team.
That half was incredible!!!  
Mr. Bungle : 7/12/2017 9:56 pm : link
Bring on the second act!!!

P☆U☆M☆P☆E☆D.
finally  
SHO'NUFF : 7/12/2017 10:16 pm : link
after so many missed opportunities
Garbage goal. I'll take it.  
B in ALB : 7/12/2017 10:16 pm : link
Still need to bring in the subs.
Very Mediocre  
Jeffrey : 7/12/2017 10:23 pm : link
Despite domination there is little evidence that this collection can function effectively as a unit against quality opposition. Not to say that certain indiduals have not flashed, like Zardes and Lichaz.
Arriola is not  
section125 : 7/12/2017 10:24 pm : link
very good. Continuously makes poor passes or poor decisions to not shoot.
Really  
Jon in NYC : 7/12/2017 10:25 pm : link
disappointing evening. The only two players I can really say acquitted themselves well are Lichaj and Agudelo.

Arriola, Zardes and Morris keep botching chances. Roldan has brought nothing. Ugh.

That's what I'm seeing too.

Guzan..

blows
Brad Guzon  
B in ALB : 7/12/2017 10:29 pm : link
Ladies and gents.

He had to make some absurd saves for this awful defense tonight and against Panama. Then he let's that trash in.
Guzan  
Jon in NYC : 7/12/2017 10:29 pm : link
really is bad.
These guys look hungover.  
Mr. Bungle : 7/12/2017 10:29 pm : link
Good Lord. I could have saved that shot.
that should've been a routine stop  
SHO'NUFF : 7/12/2017 10:30 pm : link
for a goalie at that level.
That  
AcidTest : 7/12/2017 10:31 pm : link
was very poor by Guzan.

Despite the 2-1 lead, our performance has been desultory and uninspiring. We look lethargic.
everyone has  
SHO'NUFF : 7/12/2017 10:31 pm : link
spoon feet tonight.
So uninspiring  
B in ALB : 7/12/2017 10:32 pm : link
These guys are terrible.
Pretty obviously the thread starter's fault

terrible, terrible job.
Was just thinking the same thing  
B in ALB : 7/12/2017 10:36 pm : link
Tried to offer some history and factual info. Maps and whatnot.

And the team plays like ass hair.
Good

Lord.

shitty performance tonight.
Fuck this team  
B in ALB : 7/12/2017 10:37 pm : link
Matt Hedges, whoever that is, is horrific.
Omg.  
Mr. Bungle : 7/12/2017 10:37 pm : link
This is craptacular.
Flukey  
AcidTest : 7/12/2017 10:38 pm : link
goal, but they all count.

And just like that, we're back ahead.
haha -  
Del Shofner : 7/12/2017 10:38 pm : link
Morris!
And Zardes and Morris  
B in ALB : 7/12/2017 10:38 pm : link
Save the day. For now.
Morris..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 7/12/2017 10:39 pm : link
is winning this game with his finishing skills
welp  
SHO'NUFF : 7/12/2017 10:39 pm : link
just as I typed that
Everytime the US  
section125 : 7/12/2017 10:40 pm : link
attacks hard, they get chances. This shit passing back to the goalkeeper is giving Martinique a chance and taking the pressure off Martinique.
What a shit performance by this team  
B in ALB : 7/12/2017 10:44 pm : link
Just awful.

No disrespect to Martinique. But it's Martinique.
