COMMENTARY: Amid the Gold Cup final festival: Mexico's fans celebrate, cope and hope

COMMENTARY

Amid the Gold Cup final festival: Mexico's fans celebrate, cope and hope

by Andrea Canales Twitter: @soccercanales

While visiting Spain for a summer years ago, I attended a bullfight. Beyond having read Ernest Hemingway, I didn’t know much about bullfighting. I watched and listened as the crowd cheered the matadors and the event finally closed with the defeated bulls being dragged out of the arena. Between the swords, horses and the elaborate costumes, the bullfight felt like an ancient art. That spell was broken somewhat when the woman sitting next to me pulled out her cell phone to update her husband. “Torearon bien, pero mataron muy mal,” she reported.

They fought well, but they killed very poorly. That’s the basic translation. All the excellent capework and the elegant stances even as the bull’s horns passed by with mere inches to spare didn’t matter in the end if the climax of the event was sloppy and prolonged because of hesitation or lack of strength or discipline to hold the sword steady and accurate for a clean, killing blow.

Watching Mexico vs. the USA in the Gold Cup final in Las Vegas' sold-out (61,514) Allegiant Stadium on Sunday night, I was reminded of that description. Time and again, El Tri, which controled the majority of the run of play, would build up nicely for a shot, but either the U.S. defense and goalkeeper Matt Turner would come up big or the final Mexico shot would be off target.

“Faltaron contundencia.” Another phrase that came to mind was one that has cropped up in the past with Mexico before. This one translates generally to lack of forcefulness, or concluding energy and finishing strength. Indeed, even when the USA had passes going awry in the final and was off target in their few counterattacking chances, they seemed energetic against Mexico all game long, though that often involved rather frantically defending much of the time.

It’s not necessarily a fair assessment of Mexico to consider it an aged team when their best young players are contending for an Olympic medal in Tokyo and therefore not at the Gold Cup. It’s also interesting to note that the star player many El Tri fans longed for Mexico coach Tata Martino to bring into this roster, Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez, wouldn’t have, at age 33, turned the dial more to youth and the team’s future.

COMMENTARY

Amid the Gold Cup final festival: Mexico's fans celebrate, cope and hopeby Andrea Canales @soccercanales, Yesterday

The passion of Mexico fans is evident hours before a match actually begins. For many El Tri supporters, game day is an all-day event of costuming, food and mutual celebration of family, friends and fans. The fact that a global pandemic is still ongoing puts a dent in even the most fervent festival of futbol. There were other negative elements factoring in as well for Mexico.

Though he hasn’t been called into the team in over a year, Hernandez, Mexico’s top all-time goalscorer, was by far the most popular jersey name on the many Mexico shirts being worn in Vegas. Hernandez’s absence, beloved player that he is, cast a bit of a pall on the Gold Cup squad partly because his lack of selection hasn’t really been explained by Martino, other than to say, “Javier Hernandez wasn’t in this roster because I picked other players.” Hernandez, in the midst of a stellar season with his club team, the Los Angeles Galaxy, suffered a calf injury early in July, which alleviated some of the pressure on Martino’s decision to not call him.

El Tri players also had to deal with the pressure of their own fans becoming a liability during the Gold Cup, when the recurrence of the homophobic chant by some in the crowds during the group stage and other matches, including very briefly in the final, threatened the squad with FIFA sanctions that could affect whether fan crowds are present at upcoming World Cup qualifying games.

There was also a sorrowful burden placed on the Mexican team both early and late in the Gold Cup tournament. In the debut match for Mexico, plucky Hirving “Chucky” Lozano suffered head and neck injuries in a collision with Trinidad & Tobago goalkeeper Marvin Phillip, required facial surgery, and was obviously ruled out of the tournament. Another blow hit the team last week when Zizinho, the father of midfielder Jonathan Dos Santos, died at age 59, reportedly of Covid-19 complications.

Mexico soldiered on after a dour draw in the opening game of the tournament, but never seemed to be firing on all cylinders as a team, even as it advanced. It took a moment of individual magic against Canada by Hector Herrera late in injury time for El Tri to escape that game with a victory.

Until last night, U.S. men’s national team coach Gregg Berhalter had never won against El Tri in a Gold Cup final, either as an unused player in 1998 or as coach in 2019. Both those games, the USA lost 1-0. With the youngest roster in the tournament and some questioning his tactical nous all during the tournament, Berhalter and his players finally silenced many doubters. The fact that the victory came on his 48th birthday made the triumph extra sweet.

The USA displayed an odd consistency in all their games, winning each one, 1-0, except for their game against Martinique, where they surrendered their only goal of the tournament in a 6-1 victory. Most U.S. players improved not only as the tournament went on, but in the final against Mexico, it was interesting to see some of them adjusting in real time to the skill and ability of their opponents. Though at times the U.S. players looked overwhelmed, they did just enough to prevent goals, and eventually worked well enough together to create chances. It’s likely that the American team, with less expectation to win than Mexico, played with more freedom as a result.

Walking out of the stadium almost an hour after the match concluded, I wasn’t surprised to see that the throngs of people still mingling in the parking lots were exclusively Mexico fans. Some were coordinating rides or plans, but most were sharing their own somber debriefs of the game with each other, many hands still clutching Tricolor flags.

“I’ve never seen the team play so tired.”

“We played well, though. We were really aggressive early on, weren’t we? I kept thinking the next chance was going to score.”

“Matt Turner was the difference. How does the U.S. always produce such good keepers? Maybe it’s because they play basketball.”

“We need our killer instinct back. We need Chicharito to return.”

“Don’t worry. We’ll get the USA in qualifying. Tata’s going to regroup, the best players will be back together, and El Tri will come back stronger than ever.”

I couldn’t help but smile, picking up these bits of conversation. Even in the disappointment over a close loss, the passion of the Mexico supporters was always at the forefront. Long live the rivalry.

Los Angeles Giltinis: 2021 Major League Rugby Champions

In front of 7,000 fans at the LA Memorial Coliseum, the LA Giltinis won the Major League Rugby Shield in their inaugural season with a 31-17 win over Rugby ATL.

Following a tight start on Sunday afternoon, both of Rugby ATL and the LA Giltinis registered a penalty each, but it was after the water break that the home team took control of the game.

Quickfire tries for hulking wing John Ryberg allowed for his team to take a 12-point lead. The first score came after the 29-year-old drifted off his wing, connecting with Matt Giteau in the midfield to score his first, the second the result of running a good supporting line for Adam Ashley-Cooper.

At the break there would be just five points in the game, ATL rallying to plant themselves on their hosts’ 5m line. Using their lineout, Atlanta hooker Marko Janse van Rensburg latched onto the ball after having thrown it in from the touchline and was driven over from the driving maul.

After the break, LA marched down the field with dominant carry after dominant carry, eventually winning a penalty that Matt Giteau struck over with 36 minutes still to play.

LA’s third try came through DTH van der Merwe, space created out wide as ATL brought in bodies to defend a Giltinis maul, the subsequent strong carries from the hosts disorganizing their visitors before the ball found the 35-year-old who dotted down in the corner, Giteau adding another two points with the conversion.

It was after the hour mark that the players efforts could be clearly seen, each group of players getting running repairs, the allure of the Shield well worth the pain.

With the clock ticking over the 70-minute mark, Giteau struck yet another penalty to keep his team in the ascendency after more good work at the ruck. Leaving the field not long after, the legendary Australia international embraced his former international teammate Ashley-Cooper, the last act the two will have on the rugby field together.

Luke Burton assumed kicking responsibilities soon after Giteau has left the field, settling his nerves with a penalty. A Rowan Gouws break contributed gave good field position to ATL, who eventually scored through substitute back-row Ross Deacon.

USA international Luke Carty struck the ball into the stands with the clock in the red, ending the game and confirming that the LA Giltinis were first-time MLR champions.

United States: 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup Champions

LAS VEGAS, Nevada – The United States are champions of the 2021 Concacaf Gold Cup after downing Mexico 1-0 in extra time in the Final on Sunday night at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Miles Robinson scored the decisive goal deep into extra time to earn the U.S. a seventh Gold Cup title.

There was an electricity in the building from the very start and it took a diving save from U.S. GK Matt Turner to keep Mexico FW Rogelio Funes Mori from finding an early goal in the 11’ via a header off a corner kick.

The best chance for the U.S. in the first 45 minutes came in the 26’ when Sebastian Lletget recovered a Mexico giveaway and fed Paul Arriola, whose shot glanced off the post.

Funes Mori continued to be a pest for the U.S. defense and Turner was called on another two times to deny the Monterrey man in the 31’ and 38’.

Mexico came out flying to start the second half and had a trio of chances in the first seven minutes after the re-start through Hector Herrera and twice from Orbelin Pineda, but were unable to find the target.

The U.S. started to carve out some chances of their own, including a loose ball in front of the Mexico goal for Arriola that was blocked by Mexico GK Alfredo Talavera in the 74’.

The intensity grew as every minute passed, but no winner could be found, so on to extra time it went.

Just when it looked like the teams would have to decide matters in penalties, Robinson would strike for the title-winning goal by smacking in a header off a free kick in the 118’ to give the U.S. the 1-0 victory.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada – Almoez Ali of Qatar earned the 2021 Concacaf Gold Cup Top Scorer Award presented by Qatar Airways after finishing as the top scorer in the 2021 Gold Cup with four goals in five games.

Qatar was the guest nation of this year’s Gold Cup and didn’t disappoint, scoring 12 goals in five matches. Ali was a big part of that with his quartet of goals.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada – Jamaica FW Bobby Reid has been named the winner of the 2021 Concacaf Gold Cup Goal of the Tournament presented by Toyota.

Reid’s fantastic strike came in the 26’ of Jamaica’s 2-0 win over Suriname in the opening match of Group C at Exploria Stadium in Orlando, Florida.

With Jamaica holding a 1-0 lead and on the attack, a long ball was played forward, only for a Suriname defender to head the ball away in hopes of clearing danger.

Instead, it fell perfectly for Reid, who latched onto the ball and hammered a right-footed volley that went screaming past Suriname GK Warner Hahn and into net for the goal.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada – El Salvador DF Bryan Tamacas has won the 2021 Concacaf Gold Cup Fighting Spirit Award presented by Modelo for the fighting spirit shown in El Salvador’s quarterfinal match with Qatar.

Down 3-0 in the second half, El Salvador mounted a memorable comeback attempt beginning with a Joaquin Rivas goal in the 63’ to make it 3-1.

That was then followed by a play in the 66’ from Tamacas that brought the fans inside State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona to their feet.

A Qatar defender with the ball looked set to avoid any type of danger from the Salvadoran attack, but Tamacas never gave up on the play and won possession with a perfectly timed tackle, enabling him to feed Rivas for the second El Salvador goal of the night.

While El Salvador’s attempted comeback fell just short in a 3-2 final, the competitive spirit shown by Tamacas will be one of the lasting images of the 2021 Gold Cup.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada – Hector Herrera was Mexico’s midfield engine, powering the team to the 2021 Gold Cup Final. As a result of his excellent performances, he has earned the Scotiabank Best Player Award.

The midfielder appeared in all six matches for his side, scoring one goal and providing two assists. It was his winner against Canada that saw El Tricolor make it to the 2021 Final.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada – Matt Turner of the United States was named the winner of the 2021 Concacaf Gold Cup Best Goalkeeper Award presented by Allstate.

The 27-year-old appeared in all six matches for his side and was dominant for the Stars and Stripes, notching an unbelievable 26 saves, allowing just one goal, and racking up five clean sheets.

The U.S. wouldn’t have lifted the Gold Cup without his performances. Turner is a star goalkeeper for the New England Revolution in Major League Soccer.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada – United States has earned the 2021 Concacaf Gold Cup Fair Play Award presented by Scotiabank.

Stars and Stripes captain Paul Arriola accepted the award on the team’s behalf, a reward given to the most disciplined team in the tournament.
