**OFFICIAL CONCACAF PRE-WORLD CUP THREAD USA, MEXICO, HONDURAS ARE IN. DISCUSS FRIENDLIES, NEWS ECT

[socluis90]

Fo sho.

Yeah it sucks for me because I like watching all the games. I think the good thing about playing TnT is their fans aren't intimidating. It's easier toget an away result there than anywhere else in Concacaf. Road points would be huge for ES since only CR has won away so far.


I predict:
Honduras 1 Costa Rica 0
Mexico 1 United States 1
TnT 0 El Salvador 1

Also Dish Network and Directv will make MUN2 available that day to everyone so no need to subscribe to another package.


With mun2 holding its exclusive English-language rights to the Aug. 12 World Cup qualifier between the U.S. and Mexico, NBC Universal will make the bicultural youth service available as a free preview to all its distribution partners that day.

NBCU officials said mun2, which counts some 31 million subscribers, has already received commitments from distributors for the preview at this stage that will put it before 56 million households. To that end, satellite leaders DirecTV and Dish Network plan to open up the network to their entire subscriber base that day.

I think this is pretty cool. You can plug in your predictions for the hex and see how it will all end up.

I'm now 100% if El Salvador doesn't win at TNT it's game over and Mexico must pick up some points on the road somehow or they'll be stuck inthe 4th spot.

i still do not get how conor casey gets called up, hopefully he doesnt see the field on wednesday.

 

[krispacinla]

Connor Casey is a bum Where is Orozco???

Bob always playing favorite with his boy Bornstein smh!

Hopefully el Gringo Torres get to see the field.

Let's Go USA!!!!

 

[craftsy21]

Glad to see Torres and Holden included... upset to see Ching and Casey getting burn. Otherwise, pretty much what I'd like to see, depending on who hestarts.

 

[marionthebarberian]

I would LOVE to see the same starting line up we had in the spain game.

 

[elpurepecha]

well looks like i got afine a way to get the day off work.

 

[socluis90]

Sup guys.

Anyways someone else brought this up but Connor Casey plays for Colorado (high altitude) and could it be possible BB brought him in because of his familiaritywith altitude more than anything else?

Glad there is no Sasha and that Holden got bumped up. I wish freddy was in there but ehh.I agree with Marion, play the Spain starters!

I leave tomorrow night to Mexico City, I don't know how often/if I'll post while I'm out there but I'll see if I can keep yal updated with whatthe medias take is on all things and if I can somehow pull a fine lil fresita from a club out there

 

[socluis90]

Alrite yal I'm out

Hopefully my hotel's internet works and I'll post from there.

Amarus, hit up my pm box to exchange contact info. I'll buy you a beer (or tequila shot if you get down like that) if you go to Yuppies Tuesday night.

 

[krispacinla]

Luis,

Please keep us updated. Good luck down there and stay safe. Take plenty of pictures. History will be made there.

 

[sc415]

[ezln1]

some ES news....the federation is awaiting written authorization, but Arturo Alvarez looks like he is a go for Wed's match. He's already with the teamin trinidad

Like everyone said, the game is a do or die...hopefully the US and CR get points too to keep Mex and Hon from pulling away from the last 2 spots

 

[niketalker23]

Should be an awesome game. Mexico is hard to beat at home and the US is the best team in. CONCACAF. I get butterflies thinking about it. I do honestly thinkthough that if the US is to ever beat Mexico in Mexico, it would be this time.

Whats happpennningggggg hahaha. Just got back from some bar out here, met about 12 people from the US who are out here for the match and they're sayingit's going to be about 400 people total. Everywhere you look it's all about the match, TV, radio, newspapers. Mexico is going to freeze for 2 hours onWednesday.

This country is dope as hell though. People are hella nice, food and beer are cheap and taste good, weather is nice and there is BEAUTIFUL %$$%$%! WOMENeverywhere! I've walked all over the city today and never felt threatened. Visited estadio azul, universitario, and a few other landmarks with no problemsat all. Get back to yal later with pics.
