The question is if we take both Cameron and Parkhurst (likely at this point), can we leave off a defender and take a more luxury guy like Shea or Green...

That's being pushed by a few people these days based on the fact that you're more likely to use an offensive sub from deep on the bench than a defensive one at the World Cup. There's usually a defender that goes and doesn't play.

 

[Cornballer]

No subs yet for the US.

Klinsmann says Green, Donovan, and Goodson in about 15 minutes.

 

[NoRéN]

I don't even understand what that means

I'm guessing the asshole wants them gone.

 

[Oozer3993]

No subs yet for the US.

Landon and Julian coming in soon per Jurgen.

 

[daoster]

Landon, and Julian coming on in 15 minutes per Klinsmann

Do people still want Shea? He's not getting any minutes and he's got a bad attitude it seems. I'd like to keep him as far away as possible.

Exactly my point, in the group of death we need to have subs who can be dynamic offensive sparks, run at defenders, provide a change of pace, etc.

He's left footed and can cause problems going forward. His club form isn't great, but he's done some damage just about every time he's come on as a sub for the US. His starts haven't been that good, though.

 

[Cornballer]

Shitty marking on the corner. I hate Marquez.

 

[NoRéN]

Defending once again the weak link.

 

[kassatsu]

wtf...

 

[daoster]

2-1, Rafa

 

[ActStriker]

oof he came wide open

 

[methodman]

Smfh

 

[Dartastic]

Zusi whyyyyyyu

 

[B-Dubs]

Always the defence with us

Same. Dempsey provides enough of a bad attitude for the team.

I would rather Torres get an opportunity before brazil.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Well Omar's one massive blunder per game cost is that time...

 

[NoRéN]

Finally, time for Donovan to tear it up!

 

[Meier]

Dangerous spot for this FK. Greeeeen!

 

[Cornballer]

I suppose you could plug either Goodson or Cameron in there for him. Maybe Vogts can convince Klinsmann to rethink the back line.

 

[Cornballer]

Donovan, Green, and Goodson coming on.

 

[NoRéN]

In for zusi? Why?

 

[daoster]

Green!!

 

[ActStriker]

he's here! he exists! he's real!

 

[CobbFC09]

Hope we don't do to Green what we did to poor Freddy Adu.

 

[Cornballer]

Johnson in for Wondo

 

[CobbFC09]

Also interesting that Green is wearing #9. Wonder if that's official?

 

[Meier]

Hope we don't do to Green what we did to poor Freddy Adu.

Adu just wasn't good enough. Green will keep developing over there in relative obscurity. With Adu, it didn't help that he was supposed to be the big new hope for MLS.

 

[Meier]

Thought Bradley had that one. Expected him to shoot prior to that last touch.

 

[Cornballer]

Dammit. Bad defense again.

 

[Subitai]

No! ;_;

 

[daoster]

2-2

 

[ActStriker]

fuuuuu

 

[Askani]

Fuck me. C'mon.

 

[kassatsu]

welp

 

[PopeReal]

Great adjustments by Mexico. We look terrible now.

 

[methodman]

Awful awful d

 

[daoster]

Tale of two halves

 

[NoRéN]

Embarrassing. All that swagger gone.

 

[CobbFC09]

Adu just wasn't good enough. Green will keep developing over there in relative obscurity. With Adu, it didn't help that he was supposed to be the big new hope for MLS.

While that is true, it didn't help that the media turned him into the face of U.S. Soccer.

 

[Toothpick]

Yedlin coming in. Man, US lost all control. Let's go boys!

 

[Meier]

Has there been a single foul called in the 2nd half? Sheesh.

 

[Cornballer]

Yedlin and Edu on

 

[Askani]

Dempsey starting to fold like a paper bag. Stand up and keep your run going, man.

 

[CobbFC09]

Dempsey starting to fold like a paper bag. Stand up and keep your run going, man.

Seriously. Very quiet game for him. Needs to get back into form.

 

[Nesotenso]

we took the wrong CB out.

 

[NoRéN]

Dempsey starting to fold like a paper bag. Stand up and keep your run going, man.

I'm loving it. Just proves that he's not captain material.

 

[TheChits]

That was a nice attempt

 

[methodman]

Dempsey falls over more than anyone ever lol
