lol 4-2-2

also don't necessarily hate it but I know i'll probs be disappointed by the end of it.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Wood is starting and listed as a sub lol

Why not Johannsson up top instead of Wood? Why not Cameron at RB instead of Orozco?
Nothing about that lineup excites me, there's no player I particularly want to watch... it's just so blah.

When the most interesting things to watch out for are the CB pairing, and maybe seeing Andrew Wooten make his debut off the bench... not a great sign.

Oh well let's at least see if Klinsmann's emphasis on possession amounts to anything... any bets given that uninspiring 4-4-2 formation? lol

 

[Cystm]

This whole match seems so bootleg.


From the stadium, to Jozy wearing the captain's armband, and this 4-4-2.

Gold Cup victory tour.

edit: Is it really that hard to make a small part of the stadium that's visible on television not look like a dump?

 

[xbhaskarx]

Well we're only two friendlies away from the most important game the US will play since the World Cup so...

 

[Cystm]

Pretty great to see the USMNT participating in the Wounded Warrior Project.

 

[NH Apache]

Bobby wood! Excited to see him play. Also interested to see Farfan play as at one point, he was the future for Peru.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

camera quality is complete ass

 

[Cystm]

The American Outlaws better be careful jumping up and down on those stands. Looks like the whole thing could come down.

 

[The Chosen One]

Is this a home or away game? Can't tell by the crowd noise....

 

[xbhaskarx]

Canada playing Belize right now... here's a bingo card for anyone watching that one:

 

[smokeandmirrors]

wow that deflection

 

[Lunar FC]

I ain't even surprised by these things anymore.

 

[NH Apache]

Would Tim have saved that? Probably not but that discussion will be had.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Is this a home or away game? Can't tell by the crowd noise....

I guess the deafening roar after the Peru goal answers that question...

 

[The Chosen One]

Boooo

 

[Meier]

Passing has been very very poor. Peru's pressing is obviously affecting that, but we've got to tighten up.

 

[Cystm]

John Brooks really Wondo'd that one.

 

[Lunar FC]

Brooks almost got that one in the asthenosphere. Maybe next time.

edit: Altidore couldn't put a soft touch on the ball if you begged him.

 

[The Chosen One]

Brooks Wondo'd that one

Edit: Beaten, haha

 

[Meier]

Well done by Jozy there after fucking up that first touch. Think his cross was going in if the keeper hadn't got a touch to it.

 

[The Chosen One]

I love how Jozy got back on his feet instead of going for the penalty.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Nice few minutes for the US...

Klinsmann: "Alvarado and Brooks are my two best center backs"

Okay then.

 

[Cystm]

We get counter attacked so easily. It's disgusting.

 

[B-Dubs]

Well done by Jozy there after fucking up that first touch. Think his cross was going in if the keeper hadn't got a touch to it.

That would have been hilarious. He's put in some good work so far. Like night and day compared to his Gold Cup performance.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

we're kinda playing awfully.

Jozy continues to have the touch of a tractor trailer going 65 mph.

 

[The Chosen One]

we're kinda playing awfully.

Jozy continues to have the touch of a tractor trailer going 65 mph.

That goes for pretty much our entire US offense.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Oh well let's at least see if Klinsmann's emphasis on possession amounts to anything...

First half posssession 40.8% for US and 59.2% for Peru... 81% pass accuracy to 90%.

 

[Cystm]

we're kinda playing awfully.

Jozy continues to have the touch of a tractor trailer going 65 mph.

Yeah, and everyone else to be honest. Like they are all hungover.

Edit: Wynalda and Lalas. Save us, Stu.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Is Bobby Wood playing?

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Is Bobby Wood playing?

allegedly

 

[Cystm]

Go on then, Geoff.

 

[B-Dubs]

allegedly

That sounds about right.

He Klinsmann real with bringing Alvarado on to play with Brooks? Called Mix coming on, shocked Wood isn't being taken off.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Alvarado for Gonzalez
Cameron for Orozco
Diskerud for Bedoya


Not sure how Jones and Wood aren't the first two subbed out....

 

[Meier]

Ream is having a great game.

 

[Meier]

No question that was a penalty.

Predicted he'd have it saved but at least he cleaned it up. Definitely should not be our penalty taker even if Dempsey and Bradley aren't playing.

 

[B-Dubs]

Ream is having a great game.

He really is.

Good on Jozy winning that penalty.

Thank god he got that rebound.

 

[methodman]

He really is.

Good on Jozy winning that penalty.

Thank god he got that rebound.

Ream has been dominating fools. Nice job Jozy

 

[Meier]

I wanna see the new dude from Germany.

 

[Cystm]

I wanna see the new dude from Germany.

Hopefully in the 70+

 

[Cystm]

Geoff Cameron is the fucking bessst.

Edit: Justica.

 

[Meier]

What a ball from Farfan. Unbelievable saves by Guzan.

 

[NH Apache]

Wooooo

 

[B-Dubs]

JOZY!!

YES!!

 

[Meier]

Loooooool, that was as jammy a goal as it gets.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

love the Attack in this 2nd half

 

[smokeandmirrors]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL

 

[xbhaskarx]

Wow what a few minutes, first Guzan comes up huge and then Altidore redeems himself...

 

[The Chosen One]

Big save by Guzan, allowed us to score a minute later.

 

[NH Apache]

Also, Peru is very lucky that didn't turn into a fight. Nobody touches the keep.
