The difference is that mix's hair is free flowing while Zusi ties his hair back
So many dives.

Really embarrassing by Chandler. He just gave up.

Dammit, Chandler.

Dempsey looks like he's dead out there
Yeah Dempsey is clearly just not trying to get reinjured this close to the WC.
Not a great performance by anyone but I felt like the US was just trying to cruise in the second half.
He always looks dead out there...

that's actually a good point.
Yeah. I just talked him up to a friend on Facebook and his case over Beasley, but after that...no thanks.
no he is still better than Beasley.
Chandler was bad for the first half and then had a great second half until the last 15 or so minutes.

wasn't a bad game, a lot better than the azerbaijin one.

It is finally time for the LA Galaxy. Hopefully we get our third straight win.

I'm not sure I understand the hype around Julian Green.
The level of how bad it was just floors me. Lack of concentration, where it happened on the field, and how it was completely irrecoverable for him. He had to drop back and let Guzan take it while he tried to stop a play/pass towards the middle.
I can handle a breakdown or a mistake, but I can't handle it at the corner of the 18 yard box where you look flat, lost, can't catch up to the guy who beat you, and you have to leave him 1v1 with the keeper.

You don't like how he steps on the ball?
He's Jurgen's project. Might be of use in training but his cleats won't touch the pitch in Brazil.
It's a pretty amateurish play.
On the Claudio Reyna scale of plays no high schooler should be giving up (which goes from 1 to 10 - 10 being Reyna giving away the ball ten feet from the box in the World Cup), it was a solid 9.
Wasted chances are troubling and the defense looks like they've played together for only 20 days... Which they have since 3/4 are different from the guys Klinsmann regularly used.
I still think the needed change is Chandler at RB / Johnson at LB, but of course there's no excusing that horrific play by Chandler.
Would you prefer "zygotic"

He looks to have more potential than any prospect the US has had in a long time.
That's about it.
When I see him play now, all I can think is "what would landon do?" #stillbitter
Only saw the 2nd half but I liked seeing the defense getting tested. I dont think we are going to see strong/risky defensive challenges during these friendlies. No one wants to pick up an injury so close to the world cup.
Aaaand Germany v Cameroon just tied 2-2, always good to hear
Looks like he has a lot of raw potential. Could be great in 4 years, maybe not.
You let prospects develop. Not throw them into high profile games...
Same :/
Same here, very very bitter. Smfh
I'm confused... Has Jurgen thrown Julian into a high profile game yet?
How was this a high profile game?
World Cup friendlies like these are high profile games. The kid was a mess out there. He's also going to the big show.
Eh, these friendlies are just that. Friendlies. I guess its close proximity to the world cup allows the manager to tinker with the lineup and more attention is paid to these friendlies, but I wouldn't call it high profile
I'm a big fan of Jozy's fight. He just can't seem to put it behind the net...

The US team didn't look great, and if they play like this in 2 weeks they gonna be going home after 2 games...
Well he did have that one goal the ref took away. From where I was sitting I have no idea why it didn't count, I'm going to watch that part of the game again later. No one in my section, or anyone near the goal, saw what the ref saw.
How were the concourses? Apparently there were 1000 more people there than there are seats in the stadium

A goal for Donovan to tie the game up.
The stadium was pretty crowded. Everything was absolutely packed, I've never seen it like this before.

Lol at comments like this. It's not like Ghanna or Portugal never have shit games. You never know how something will turn out until it happens.
