renaissance Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 According to my tv, they are showing college rugby Hm. Well I was just going by the US Soccer website: http://www.ussoccer.com/schedule-tickets/schedule.aspx Soccer Insider also says it's on NBC Sports (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/soccer-insider), so hopefully the tv guide is wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichmondRedskin88 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Pretty awesome news. Apparently USA is close to finishing negotiations on having the 2016 Copa America hosted by the USA. For those counting every 4 yrs and wondering what the hell 2016 is the 100th anniversary and apparently Conmebol wanted to do something special. Mexico will also be in the tourney.

That would be amazing. I've been hoping for years they stepped up the Copa America to include the USA and Mexico teams. Of course the next step is for Mexico and USA to send the A-Squad. Do you have a link to the story? ---------- Post added June-2nd-2012 at 11:04 AM ---------- PS....is the USA v Canada game on tv tonight? What channel? What time? NBC Sports, but it's tomorrow night.

We gotten invited every time since 1993(along with Mexico) yet we only went in 07. Bradley sent our B or C team which got destroyed. It made Conmebol so mad they didn't invite us to the next one. I'm sure Jurgen told them if we want to play better competition and establish relationships with major soccer nations we need to start reaching out. Conmebol just really wanted to do something big so they basically "said guys I know you've shot us down every year but how about we give it another shot?" Honestly I know the MLS schedule conflicts with Copa America but we need to find a way to address this issue. We can't keep having the MLS schedule interfere with international tourneys. Any kind of trophy whether it be Copa America, Confederation, Gold Cup,etc would be a great thing. It would be a major boost to our US soccer morale to grab a Copa America or even Copa Bolivia. Honestly the way things are looking for the Concacaf right now we should be making friends with Conmebol.

renaissance Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Honduras 3 - 0 El Sal tonight at RFK Also we can't even win the Gold Cup consistently. I don't think we'd come close to winning Copa American anytime soon. But the experience would be awesome if we took it seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichmondRedskin88 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Kickers played two games on the road in two days this weekend. They got a draw(probably would have won but the game got called way early because the home team plays on a island and the island was starting to flood) and handed Rochester their first home loss of the year. Really need those points. If a couple of the top teams slip up and Richmond can get some wins we'll be right back in the top 3 in no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knick Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Man, I'm losing my Central American roots day by day. Didn't know Honduras put a critical beatdown on El Salvador yet again. It's good to hear that Carlos Costly scored a goal. That dude had a steep decline since 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichmondRedskin88 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I found out I got British and French roots today along with my strong German and Irish ties. I plan on finding out where the British ties come from. If my ties come from Liverpool....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knick Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Sometimes I long for the 1990's-early 2000's Brazil teams. They were great and fun to watch. I don't know what the hell to Brazil in recent years. Heck, even the 1970's and 1980's were extremely good than today's. ---------- Post added June-3rd-2012 at 04:07 PM ---------- Wow 2-0 Mexico. That makes me feel really bad about our performance.

He took over a soccer program that needed a overhaul and was falling behind due to aging players. Sometimes we're gonna be out matched talent wise. The team we put on the field against Brazil has had a few months to gel. Those Brazil players have been through youth World Cups(and won them) and such together. This Mexican team is a result of Mexico overhauling and now reaping the rewards of it. Right now we have to take our lumps and enjoy what success(if really any) we might get. Until Klinsmann has some true resources its hard to judge him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) Considering this is a scratch Brazilian squad, with only 5 or 6 players out of the 22 that will probably be in their WC squad as of now; and their last but one friendly of a long season; I wouldn't put much 'wow' factor on them losing to Mexico in an exhibition game. Now a full strength Spanish side being currently held at H/T and out played at home to China in their final warm-up before the Nations Cup. That's a 'WOW'. Hail.

Willy Wonka Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Mexico is towards the top of the list of teams who hold the most wins against Brasil. While it is not much, they are still up there. Brasil is still a power house and a fun team to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visionary Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I had no idea that Bradley was coaching Egypt now. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/04/sports/soccer/for-bob-bradley-and-egypt-a-higher-purpose-after-violence.html?_r=1 His first match was a narrow loss to Brazil in the Qatari capital, Doha, in November. And yet Egypt has flourished since that defeat against Brazil last year, going unbeaten in 13 games, winning 11 times. There is a sense of a higher purpose now.
