Bedoya is playing pretty well.

Bradley hasn't looked comfortable leading the counter.

That was a bad pass, but Zardes doesn't really seem to know where he's supposed to go on the break.

 

[xbhaskarx]

US looking decent just now... seems like Chandler decided to care today which is nice.

 

[Meier]

Playing very well. Need that final ball though.

Right after I post that they execute a wonderful counter. Thought Drmic would score there.

 

[Meier]

Shaqiri with all that space.. gulp.

 

[Cornballer]

Shaqiri with all that space.. gulp.

Might want to mark him!

 

[Mully]

Bradley has been the catalyst for US forward movement this half.

 

[Meier]

Bedoya has been excellent at recovering the ball and working in tight spaces. Very impressive game from him in the bit I've been able to watch.

Sitting at the back of the room in a big meeting, haha.

 

[The Culture Vulture]

Huh?!

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Goddamn that was beautiful

 

[TheChits]

WOW that was great

 

[Cornballer]

Sheeeeeaaaaaaaaaa

 

[Mully]

Holy shit. Beautiful.

 

[Meier]

BREKINHO!

 

[Cornballer]

BREKINHO!

Shea-mar!

 

[The Culture Vulture]

That shit came straight from the Orlando City training ground.

 

[Meier]

Shea-mar!

Hahaha, that's great. Let's make that trend on Twitter.

[Mully]

Hahaha, that's great. Let's make that trend on Twitter.

I'm trying. Just tweeted at him.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Forget the 1-0 scoreline, what is this whole playing so well vs the Swiss thing... not sure exactly how it's happening except that Bedoya is playing great.

 

[Cornballer]

Hahaha, that's great. Let's make that trend on Twitter.

Not mine, but I forget who used it first.

In any case, he's on fire.

 

[ActStriker]

Fox's scoreboard is a little better looking now but still looks a little off

 

[ZZMitch]

Not mine, but I forget who used it first.

In any case, he's on fire.

The goal of a true Southern gentleman.

 

[Cornballer]

William Yarbrough coming on.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Apparently U-23s vs Denmark starting in Copenhagen...

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Yarbrough in!

 

[Esch]

Sum up our play? Missed the first half boys

 

[Cornballer]

In 8.5 friendlies since WC, #USMNT has outscored opponents 11-3 in 1st half, but been outscored 11-1 in 2nd half.

.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Danny Williams in the first half - 15/16 passing. Keeping it simple

.

 

[ActStriker]

holy crap Zardes

 

[Cornballer]

US offense in the first half. Everything coming up the right side.

 

[xbhaskarx]

^ that pretty much confirms what all our eyes were telling us...

We are actually playing well, pretty much across the board. Swiss not doing much so the defense wasn't really tested. Weak points were probably Morales on the left (no surprise since he's out of position) and Chandler (don't criticize him too much at least he appears to be trying). Bedoya having a great game on the right side.

 

[Cornballer]

If Chandler gets his act together on defense and maybe F. Johnson slots in for Morales, there could be something to this 4-4-2.

Thanks a lot. Yeah, I haven't been too hot on Chandler. Just isn't good enough imo. He makes some good runs and is a decent distributor but...

 

[Cystm]

First time that one, Bradley.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Oh boy Chandler almost fucked up big time there.

edit with a handball to boot

 

[The Culture Vulture]

Timmy Chandler bringing rest holds into soccer.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Good job by Morales on Shaq

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Woah wait what

 

[Cystm]

 

[xbhaskarx]

WTF red card??

 

[ActStriker]

Jozy wut

 

[Mully]

Are you fucking kidding me?

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Even Jozy doesn't know

 

[Meier]

Oops. Can't say that to the ref, Jozy.

 

[The Culture Vulture]

Jozy has been aggravated all game, haven't seen why. He's put a damper on what has been a great day for the team.

 

[Lach]

Looked like he said fucker to the ref from the lip movement...

 

[Cornballer]

Seems a little overboard for Altidore to get that wound up in a friendly, and it also seems extreme to send him off for that in a friendly.

 

[Meier]

Looked like he said fucker to the ref from the lip movement...

Looked like "FUCK YOU!" in response to the foul call. Didn't catch the rest but he might have called him a fucker after that. Probably was going to be a yellow and then a red due to the dissent.

Would have liked to see the ref go over to Jurgen and say take him off immediately rather than give a red in a friendly.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Smart move by Jozy, that is just what the US needed, if they can hold on for the next 20 minutes with just ten men it will break the late game jinx.

You're all thinking in terms of checkers moves meanwhile Jozy is playing chess.
