I don’t remember Jamaica away being THAT bad before. Must have had a bunch of rain the past few weeks.

Now if that was El Salvador or Guatemala, that would be par for the course trying to muddy the game up into a rock fight.

Shocked stuff like this happens when CONCACAF has just allowed trash throwing for years now. Mexico coach got beaned in the head with a full beer can and was gushing leaving the pitch.

3-0 at half vs. Jamaica. Carving them up.

Poch Ball >>>>>>> GGG Ball.

Had two or three of the better build up plays I have seen in years from this group.

Getting USMNT’d has to hurt…

Also of course when City finally sucks, Arsenal is having a down year :rage::rage::rage:

And you said the new big table won’t have meaningful games…

That was surreal, got volleyed by Weah to McKennie. I was all …

There is some voodoo curse type stuff going on with City. This run of poor play has been wild.

Had ManU locked down and then give up 2 on egregious errors in the last 10 minutes.

Don’t think it is voodoo as much as the players that made Man City work are either not available, not fit or not in form.

Even before the disastrous ending, it isn’t like Man City did anything particularly impressive for 88 minutes.

Fair, but between Feyenoord, Brighton and this one, these minutes past 80 have been spooky.

If you have to play Matheus Nunes at full back, you are getting spooky at some point regardless. It’s a matter of when not if.

City obviously struggle to function without Rodri at all but then you go:

Gundo is washed. De Bruyne isn’t fit. 1 CB healthy. Walker is washed. Nunes is not this caliber of player. Foden is out of form. Silva is playing way too much.

It isn’t close to a team that can be dangerous, which makes it impossible to think it’ll be fixed any time soon.

My son’s two favorite teams are Arsenal (passed down from me) and Sevilla (they trained at his clubs field two summers ago when they were I. Detroit for a friendly and he got all of their autographs). This Christmas we got him two “Mystery Kits”. It’s usually smaller clubs but sometimes you get a bigger club and it’s about a third the price of a replica kit.

He got Man City and Real Betis…. :man_facepalming:

and just for good measure to improve @umhoops day.

Which makes a lot of sense with the splurge this window and the EH extension. People are speculating maybe a transfer ban but who knows. Between City and our football team, feel like I am going to be reading from rivals about 115 and Stallions forever anyway though.

Ugh City can never catch a break. Why do bad things happen to good people.

They play Club Brugge in the league phase match. Assuming tie breaker is goal difference, they control their own destiny to advance as a win would at least secure them the spot above Brugge.

My bet, City lead 3-0 and then lose 4-3.

Turns out that having an entire midfield in its 30s isn’t sustainable.

Is it interesting yet?
