On2whls Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 Since Mexico has a team competing at the O-limp-ics, who is playing in the gold cup finals? Can’t get too excited if Mexico is playing their B squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t get too excited if Mexico is playing their B squad. The Olympics is a U-23 tournament for the men. So this was their senior squad. To the contrary, we took a B-minus team and Mexico took mostly their A-team. Great win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is U23 applied only to Men’s soccer? I think they are allowed 4 players over the age of 23. Also, the Olympics are not FIFA sanctioned so the European teams do not have to allow their players to leave and go play in the Olympics.

Griff Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 8 El Tri selections from the Nations League final played last night, vs 3 for the US. This was the US's C team in many regards. And Tata was coaching. Don't let Mexico excuse their way out of this, this was a monumental loss for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxchoboian Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 Didn't see the game, and it sounds like it was an exciting one. For whoever watched, did Mexico seem to be as in control of the game as the stats suggest: Shots - 22-14 in favor of Mexico Possession - 66%-34% (advantage Mexico) Passes - 723-427 (advantage Mexico) Passing Accuracy - 80%-70% (advantage Mexico) Corners - 11-6 (advantage Mexico) I know in all sports the team that wins the stat battle doesn't always win the game, but having watched a ton of athletic games over the years (including more soccer than I probably had hoped to see), it seems to me soccer has a higher percentage of games than in other sports where the team controlling the game ends up on the losing end of a 1-0 type contest.

There are a lot of important FIFA tournaments that occur in the Summer and they made an agreement with the IOC that U-23 would be the standard for the men. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the US had any intention of winning the possession battle last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't shock me if Tata gets sacked by the Mexican Federation. That's his second loss against the Americans this year in a tournament final and World Cup qualifying is about to start in the fall (I think). They can't be too happy in Mexico City. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
