Zip_ME87 Posted July 24, 2017 Report Posted July 24, 2017 So awesome that the only two former Zips on 2017 Gold Cup squads have both made it to the finals. Zips' and Timbers' teammates, incredible. USA all the way, of course!!! 4 Quote
ZipsVoice Posted July 26, 2017 Report Posted July 26, 2017 This is great, and a good reason to watch what should be a snoozer...but we all know the red white and blue can botch up a sure thing at times...but ME87 is right...USA all the way! Quote

Jamaica have the best GK in CONCACAF. And they are speedy up top. I do not anticipate a cake walk at all. This will be a tight match. Jamaica are very confident right now. They are better than Costa Rica. 1 Quote
Zip_ME87 Posted July 26, 2017 Author Report Posted July 26, 2017 Big Deal. LOL... Nagbe and Mattocks are Timbers teammates, but they were also Zips teammates. 1 Quote

ZipsVoice Posted July 27, 2017 Report Posted July 27, 2017 After an entertaining match last night, D-Nags is getting lots of praise. This from Grapham Parker at The Guardian, Britain's Daily football articles, Midfield We’ve mentioned Bradley and Acosta, but the link-up play of Darlington Nagbe got a sustained airing in this tournament, and of all the players in this US roster he may have done the most to solidify his claim. Clever, great on the ball, and always capable of driving at the box and earning dangerous free kicks, Nagbe also has a range of subtle movement in midfield that can be very effective for combining with Bradley when he’s making himself available for the ball further forward. Nagbe’s occasional diffidence is the knock against him – his positioning in the El Salvador quarter final threatened to make him anonymous. But then again he was quiet in the final before his smart run forward started the move that won the free kick Altidore scored from, while the more visible Arriola did plenty of conspicuous work without being noticeably more effective. 2 Quote
Zip_ME87 Posted July 27, 2017 Author Report Posted July 27, 2017 USA !!! Congrats to Darlington on winning another Cup... College Cup, MLS Cup, Gold Cup. Quote
