This is the first time I have seen this thread, and even though the World Cup was last year, I went through it page by page and read every word of it (and MAYBE I looked at some of the pictures
)
I will keep on checking this thread for photo updates
Just like Father's Day should be every day of the year, the same goes for the WORLD CUP!
Good news for the 'US&A', they beat Jamaica'Mon' 2-0 yesterday so they will be facing Panama (who beat them earlier in this tourney) for a place in the Gold Cup final. I didn't watch the game, so I have no clue how they played.
Mexico unconvincingly beat Guatemala 2-1 @ the Meadowlands on Saturday. What made the 1st half entertainment was all the fights going on in the stands, one very close to me, a flying mexican missed us by a few rows. It looked like LUCHA LIBRE. It took a good 5 mins for security to show up so a few other 'bigger' fans had to take matters into their own hands to try and break up the fight. Eventually the State Troopers showed up and took my Compadre handcuffed. I gotta say, the Honduran guy took that round. 3 people were escorted out from that scuffle. I saw at least 5 fights close to my section, I imagine it was the same all around the stadium. Not surprisingly, since doors opened at 2pm and the Mexico match was the 2nd of the doubleheader. There is a good amount of hatred between these 4 teams, speaking in soccer terms, Costa Rica, Honduras, Mex and Guatemala. So by having 78,000+ peeps drinking their brains out in a confined environment, well a few fights were to be expected.
A dude from work told me he stayed in the parking lot until 12:30 am drinking and eating and it was a big party all over the place....I guess in soccer you tailgate before and afterwards...I didn't know there is no curfew or time limit for people to stay at the stadium lots after a game.
Mexico is facing Honduras in the semifinals.
On WORLD CUP news...the U17...The USA beat CZECH Republic yesterday 3-0. Mexico beat North Korea 3-1 on Saturday. I gotta say, the fans for the U17 World Cup are nowhere to be found.
Soooo, back to Copa America news....The results for Match 3 (Argentina) are still not in...
In the Meantime, a preview of the Chile match....
