Yeah lol.
I don't get these dudes. They criticize the ref because of the red, and then they citicize him for not giving a yellow. Like fuck, the ref probably feels bad that if he gives the player another yellow, it'll be a double, therefore red. That leaves Honduras with 9 players and a bad position really early on. If he calls the foul and doesn't give the yellow he saves Honduras from playing with less players, for now, he can calm things down and keep it from getting hot-headed players. Even if he would've given a second yellow, the commentators would still criticize the poor ref.

Uruguay beat Bolivia 0-2 in La Paz. Seems like not even the 4000 metres above sea level will help Bolivia this time around.

Apparently, that's what my dad told me. Good thing I can watch two things at once with PIP.

I'm so happy I got a new job and I get out early now.

Somehow CONCACAF have managed to hide their own U-23 Championship behind a playoff for a competition over 18 months away and a friendly against Panama. It deserved better, really.

It was like the Pan American Games, no one cared about it. It's a shame really, as it is potentially the combined Americas tournament (with 60+ years of history) that people are calling for.

Yeah :/ the thing is that not even telemundo/ nbc has been big on marketing the game :/ the previous Pan-American games (before this year's) had a big push. I'd think that they'd be pushing this championship as a result of Mexico winning the last Olympics but nope. Nothing.

Eh, Nigeria gave us a 6-1 when we faced them two years ago. It's not unnatural to see this type of scores with them at this level.
 
They were far and away the best team in the last U17 world cup. They totally owned Mexico in the final. Their wingers are incredibly fast. They usually play with a 4-3-3 and their wide players usually tend to cut inside. They hardly ever send in crosses. They have their style down at this level. Kudos to their youth program.

I'm very surprised at the size of the score. Chile, at home, getting wrecked 1-5. Wow.
