another team, another championship

[nerd]

except in philly. what a fucking shitty city sports organization in total. all the owners should get the full metal jacket treatment.

sigh...tired of wearing "pride on our sleeve"...would rather win some championships.

for sports, pretty much the butthole of "big" sports cities.

Honestly, even though I dislike the Penguins, I think that Nashville winning would have pissed me off more.

Living in Pittsburgh made the reaction worse. My neighborhood literally had horns going off and stuff like that.

There was a hockey game last night?

I watched the USMNT tie Mexico at Azetca.

[Susquehanna Birder]

I see the fans are celebrating by berating the Nashville fan base (by abusing catfish and the like), as well. Those chodes just can't be happy with success unless they shit on everbody else.

It's disgusting to say the least. My only saving grace living in the Pittsburgh area is watching the Pirates choke each fall. But that's all I got.... and pointing out that nobody cares about hockey

I made the mistake of pointing that out to my fiancé (who is from Pittsburgh) last night. Needless to say I got a tongue lashing.

She literally didn't start watching hockey till the playoffs this year.

Like I said earlier, one of my neighbors has a goal horn and would literally set it off every time the Pens scored in the playoffs. It made my skin crawl.

[BigSlizz]

I got my boss one of those that was set to go off when the Blues scored. I forgot he had it.

It would go off and then all the dogs in the neighborhood would start barking. At least I knew when they scored though.

I was trying to figure out how many championships Pittsburgh teams have one a championship since I met my wife. It's pretty depressing.

[McCarthy12]

Me too. Thought it was a pretty good result considering Mexico dominated the ball for most of the game. The Mexico goal was kind of a bummer - Beasley got smoked (he is like 50 after all) and, maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like a top flight keeper has a good chance at making that save. Not a huge Guzan fan. USMNT is starting to look a lot better, though.

[slag]

Definitely ... they actually had opportunities to win the game but considering the time of possession, the free kick off the crossbar that Guzan was stone beat on, and the venue, that was found money.

Speaking of possession ... I almost threw something at the TV when the US had a throw in ... and for the 27th fucking time could have thrown it back to an open defender and tried to control a move forward ... but instead threw into a mixed crowd of marked players for an instant loss of possession.

and Pulisic almost wins it towards the end

He didn't have many chances, but it's nice to see the kid play the game right and get back on defense.


Imagine if he had buried that chance with a few minutes left in the game.

[Loki]

Oh. And Arena's excuse for not starting Howard...

was he believed that there would be a lot of goal kicks. He was spot on there. I guess TIMMAYYYYYY's leg is still bothering him a bit after the surgery.


That being said, I hope to God that there is a young goaltender in the pipeline, because after Howard there is utter crap at the moment.
