USA-Cuba and Canada-CR Game Threads [R]

About 70 minutes to game time in Seattle. We should have no difficulty with Cuba, but this is soccer so you can't take anything for granted.

The Cuba coach has already said he will be playing for a tie. Expect their entire eleven behind the ball.

Canada-Costa Rica underway, nearing the half. Costa Rica up 1-0.

Whew, it's lonely in here.

Oh well, must charge on.

In the 54th minute, CR still up 1-0.

:tumblewee

And still the Canadians fight on. Now in the 75th minute and another free kick goes nowhere. Down 0-1 and things not looking good.

Hope we have a few more fans show up for our game.

Five straight posts!

This must really be a lousy thread.

No matter--I'm in this to the bitter end.

Red card on Canada with eight minutes to go and down 0-1. It's finally looking good for the hockeyjocks!

Oh wait, that's just RSL and the CRapids who play better a man down.

Keep it up, Rover! We still love you even if you ARE a lunatic who talks to himself.

Looks like Canada lost.

No, wait!! Ohhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! Wait....never mind. Yeah, they lost.

Er . . . thanks.

And yes, the Fighting Canucks go down despite, what, ten minutes of stoppage time? OK, more like five.

Next up--USA!

Over to you . . . anyone?

OK, the main event is about to start.

See you after the game. 👍

Don't worry. I think there are more people posting in this thread than are at the game.

Seattle looks like a real soccer town, doesn't it?
