But not the two before that. The guy seems to think each foul is an invitation to take a nap.

JK has a slow trigger outside of friendlies but he can't possibly leave Wondo in. Right?
It's not just that he's ineffective, but his presence messes up the structure of the team. If the forward line can pose more danger, Argentina may back off the press slightly. With a little breathing room, our midfield won't be so overwhelmed and shitty. Individuals in MF also need to play better.
Yeah, such a contrast from Argentina who always have 3 guys in position to give the ballcarrier an easy pass, as the pickup player in the SI article mentioned.
It's crazy but Wondo probably has to come off for a midfielder. Our only hope is to flood the midfield right now and see if we can deny the spaces Argentina are playing in. Dempsey can't lead the line alone but you probably ask him to for 20 minutes and then I really don't know what you do.
There is literally nothing to lose by playing CP17 or Nagbe right now. Lose by 2 or 20, see you Saturday
After seeing multiple replays, I can't name anyone beyond Neuer or Buffon stopping that. Maybe De Gea.
I think Argentina is likely to back off the press and just coast to an easy 3-0 win.
I'd take Wondo off but I don't think it really matters. Starting him was indefensible but the larger problem isn't tactics or Wondo so much as being completely outclassed and having many non-Wondo players shitting the bed.

De Gea can't even guard his near post. Did you see him today? It was a great free kick and it'll hardly make Guzan's blooper reel. But he hesitated and it went in on his side. I honestly believe Howard would make that save.
These two teams have not been playing the same sport so far. It's not even chess versus checkers, it's chess and taking a dump on the lawn. Hopefully this is the last time I have to watch Wondo. Ever.
Yup. He put that in the upper corner in about a one square foot window. If Guzan actually saved that we would have all been impressed.
He didn't really hesitate did he? He actually took an almost full hop step towards the other side of the net it looked like.
Nobody saves that. It's like the 2 Payet hit recently. Keeper basically has to cheat right, basically impossible to get back to the very top left corner.
I agree. You can't get beat to that side from 30 yards, even by a perfectly placed kick. Also, Messi's free kicks are incredibly well placed but he does not crush them.
I agrew. I think howard saves it. Talllwr and better judgement

I've always felt that Bradley does not degrade gracefully. He's awesome when he's within his comfort level, but once the speed of the game increases, he gets a very heavy foot.
2nd worst player to wear the shirt and get playing time in a major tournament in my experience. Jeff Agoos would be the worst.
That one I won't blame on Guzan.
Pulisic is getting an introduction to Javi Mascherano. At this point it's all about letting these kids learn what this is like.

if our crowd had any knowledge of this sport they'd have Ole'd the shit out of that Messi pass into touch
He did well to get the first one. You can blame him for giving up the rebound but it would have been nice to have a defender within 15 yards to help him out
The only thin about Pulisic is that he's a dead ringer for the kid who plays Norman Bated on the A&E show.
