So can we take Wondo off now?

 

[OCST]

Well, fuck a duck.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Incredible shot, but a goalie starting in that position needs to save that.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Beckerman great challenge on Messi. Great matchup.

Guzan leaned the wrong way.

 

[ifmanis5]

I'm just glad I saw that.

Wondo, if you're talking about the foul.

 

[SoxinSeattle]

It would be embarrassing if it wasn't expected.

 

[Saints Rest]

Like watching Picasso paint

 

[DJnVa]

I know that the US has to play the ball backwards from time to time, but since it seems we have an upper limit on passes that we can complete, I'd rather they just not.

FAKE EDIT: Nice play there.

 

[Jeff Van GULLY]

Bradley needs the sub

 

[OCST]

Incredible shot, but a goalie starting in that position needs to save that.

Dunno. Not many get that.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Starting Wondo was a Rico Clark against Ghana type move.

Rostering him itself was unforgivable.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Wondo, if you're talking about the foul.

Negative. Beckerman's wild lunge let him free and forced the desperate challenge.

 

[teddykgb]

Dunno. Not many get that.

I think a lot of actual world class internationals get that one. It was well placed but that was his side and he was in a good position.

 

[McBride11]

Incredible shot, but a goalie starting in that position needs to save that.

Howard saves that

Can we sub off Ashlyn harris now

 

[Soxfan in Fla]

Not sure what Guzan could do. Perfect placement.

 

[coremiller]

The Ashlyn Harris thing is too good. GJGE Fox.

 

[teddykgb]

i'd say that i'm going to call him Ashlyn Harris forever but I hope I never really watch him play ever again.

 

[Senator Donut]

"If you lose 2-0 or 6-0, it's all the same," quipped Mexico coach Landon Donovan.

 

[McBride11]

The Ashlyn Harris thing is too good. GJGE Fox.

Shed probably provide more explosiveness up top than Wondo

And has Clint come back after killing Mascheranno?

 

[teddykgb]

I know this is not a new complaint from me but whatever they're doing in Bradenton or at any MLS academy or wherever they had better be focusing on developing 6 midfielders who can actually play this game.

 

[Pesky Pole]

Ashlyn Harris is apparently the goalkeeper for the Orlando Pride. So she's likely better at soccer than Wondo.

 

[ifmanis5]

Bradley awful ball.

 

[djhb20]

Every Bradley touch is a give away.

 

[luckiestman]

Bradley......again

 

[McBride11]

I know this is not a new complaint from me but whatever they're doing in Bradenton or at any MLS academy or wherever they had better be focusing on developing 6 midfielders who can actually play this game.

I assume u mean big men with no touch or creativity who can run a lot?

 

[Soxfan in Fla]

Bradley absolutely sucks.

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

"If you lose 2-0 or 6-0, it's all the same," quipped Mexico coach Landon Donovan.

He has a valid point. This is not the group stage where goal differential matters. Be aggressive and go for the win. Who gives a fuck if you park the bus just to hold them to under 4 goals.

 

[McBride11]

Give me Nagbe for Bradley and CP17 for Wondo

 

[teddykgb]

I assume u mean big men with no touch or creativity who can run a lot?

YES. THE PROTOTYPE

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Zardes might be our only guy that doesn't look overwhelmed out there.

 

[Titans Bastard]

Bradley's really have a poor night passing.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Get up

 

[LuckyBen]

That fucker didn't get hurt

 

[teddykgb]

Zardes might be our only guy that doesn't look overwhelmed out there.

Yedlin has been OK-ish. He gets caught upfield/inside too much for my liking but he's not been completely overwhelmed. I have nothing to really say about Brooks/Cameron. They've been invisible, but I find it hard to blame them

 

[McBride11]

YES. THE PROTOTYPE

I laughed way to hard.

Zardes and Cameron seem only competent players out there.

 

[luckiestman]

DOWN GOES FRAZIER

 

[BigSoxFan]

RIP

 

[Cellar-Door]

That should be a yellow for Guzan at least.

 

[djhb20]

Also you can't have Donovan calling US games. He's friends and teammates with most everyone on the US and is obviously not comfortable calling them out, which is plenty deserved tonight.

 

[Dummy Hoy]

Having Donovan doing US games is terrible. He can't help himself.

 

[teddykgb]

I'll join TB's fire JK brigade if Harris comes out for the 2nd half.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Yedlin has been OK-ish. He gets caught upfield/inside too much for my liking but he's not been completely overwhelmed. I have nothing to really say about Brooks/Cameron. They've been invisible, but I find it hard to blame them

The speed and fearlessness is noticeable. Most of the rest of the team looks like they already know they're going to give it away before the ball even hits their leaden feet.

 

[djhb20]

Zardes, Yedlin, Cameron Brooks and Johnson all look capable of being on the same field as Argentina (to varying degrees).

The rest of them, not so much.

 

[Silverdude2167]

#1 team in the world should not play up there injuries so much. You know your the better team act like it.

 

[Soxfan in Fla]

Guzan is lucky to not get a card for that. What a dumbass.

 

[speedracer]

I know this is not a new complaint from me but whatever they're doing in Bradenton or at any MLS academy or wherever they had better be focusing on developing 6 midfielders who can actually play this game.

Every gym class in America should make all the kids do 30 minutes of rondo every day.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

He's not exactly Captain Personality to begin with.

Right. FJ has also had some giveaways, but they are coming from trying to do something reasonable and things not working out. (Often because Zusi, KB and Bradley are just standing around watching.)

As you said, everyone else is just panicking whenever they have a touch and not even trying to do anything without the ball.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Meh that last one probably hurt a lot. Also most refs it's a yellow or even red, going full speed and Guzan leaned out and clotheslined him.
