The GOLD GUP 2005 Thread

[#1 Stunna]

Mexico eliminated in the quarters...
Panama in the final...
Honduras blowing the game in 5 mins...
Refs allowing such dirty tackles...

Gotta love CONCACAF!!!

For the next Copa America the 2 CONCACAF teams will be USA and Panama. For Mexico to be in it they either have to hope USA pulls out again or get that final "invite" spot from CONMEBOL.

And the winner of this Gold Cup will play the winner of the next Gold Cup to see who plays in the next Confederations Cup.

All of this according to Carlos Warner.

Congrats to Panama who played a very impressive & clean game. Had it not been a final a draw would have been the fair result.

Keller is THE man Kept us in the game so many times. We owe the champioship to him.

good game by panama

 

[10Ruud]

Panama has a great GK.....the players let him down in the shootout...

Both of the goalkeepers were amazing in this game.

Beasley was amazing the whole cup.

 

[Vagegast]

At times it looked like Beasley was the only one who tried. He's on form but gotta question the impact of a long-ass season, lots of travel and almost no vacation... we'll see.

 

[Caponedawg]

anyone see Chris Armas's PK? It was sad. He should've been yellow carded for it.

John O'brien, who probably still isn't 100%, is the most complete player we have ever had. Better than Donovan, better than Reyna.

God, i hope he just stays healthy for 06.

O'Brien was unlocking defenses better than anyone else on the team, at times made players look stupid.

 

[Vagegast]

Great to see him back and he'll have less pressure on him and there will be less expected of him at ADO Den Haag.

 

[Siawash]

IMO, that move was pretty retarted, just a step backwards in his career. But it's his own choice.
