next soccer question

[pdub]

Still, it’s the Gold Cup.
Is it not gonna sell out?
Kinda disappointed if it’s not packed.

England scores in 2nd minute

For England, it must be nice to play most of your games at home.

[NewtonHawk11]

Italy was the better team all tournament.

Glad England still sucks.

Saw this on Twitter and it made me laugh.

It’s coming Rome!

I have to think if you are a professional soccer player, it takes more skill to miss a PK than it does to make one. I just don't get the ineptitude.

[pdub]

Just watched on replay.
You knew when it went to penalties England wouldn't have the fortitude.

Meanwhile moving on to USAs B squad in KC. They look pretty shitty so far.

Place looks hopping though...good on KC.

[pdub]

USA scores.
Pdub just a bit tipsy.

For England, it must suck to be Black and have the "fans" you do.

[pdub]

Southgate gotta be second guessing the late subs for the penalties...lotta pressure on guys so young.

[NewtonHawk11]

I think it becomes this scenario...

Either those young guys take the confidence in them and go and do some great things from that experience.

Or

They buckle under that pressure, don't really become the same guys and confidence in them is lost and England is back to being in purgatory.

Busio and Dike starting tonight.
Dont think either make the WC squad.

[NewtonHawk11]

They won’t. But still fun to see.

[pdub]

They both had great games.

[NewtonHawk11]

Dike is very intriguing. He’ll have to produce more to be a serious player for the national team, but he was impressive last night.

[pdub]

He dominated those dudes.
But it's a country the size of Omaha - so you'd hope he'd dominate those dudes.

[NewtonHawk11]

True. Although Iceland and their country the size of Corpus Christi has done some work previously.

Is US v Canada going to be a good game? Canada bringing their A squad, US bringing their B- squad. Should be fun!

[pdub]

For 1st place in the group I think ( not that it matters all that much, I think we're already through to the next round ).

[NewtonHawk11]

Busio signs with Venezia of Serie A. SKC gets approx $4M and other add ons.
