Don't mind either of those switches. Boyd couldn't sort his feet out in the 18 against Scotland. Fabian Johnson matching up against Hulk or Neymar on the wing worries me.

 

[StriKeVillain]

Go Yoosa. Haven't watched them in a while, hope it's a good performance.

 

[ZZMitch]

Got home in time to catch this game, super excited!

2-1 USA wins!

 

[NH Apache]

Good anthem. Good luck USMNT!

 

[nick nacc]

GO USA I love watching thi team. We are playing gOod sO far

 

[Pre]

These games always remind me how technically deficient we are. But we can still win -- just ask Spain.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Yeah well Brazil are not Scotland, we're not going to impose our will on these guys...

Fuck, penalty... lame

 

[Pre]

That's fucking bullshit.

 

[nick nacc]

Fuck that's a tough call

 

[Nesotenso]

Stupid penalty

 

[StriKeVillain]

His arms weren't even outstretched. He can't chop his damn arms off. :|

 

[Wes]

Tough call but the commentator is out of his mind if he thinks his arm was down by his side.

And a yellow for dissent? Looks like you got a nasty ref for a friendly.

 

[xbhaskarx]

At least from an entertainment perspective the US going down 1-0 early may have been a good thing.

What a save by Howard

 

[nick nacc]

C'mon gomez you had that

 

[Mobius 1]

I , for one, think the penalty kick was a little unfair.

 

[sneakypete]

Got home from work in time to see that BS penalty. Fuck.

 

[TheChits]

Still can't decide if I like the U.S. jerseys or not. And I think it is going to be a long night for USA

 

[leroidys]

Poor marking on that one.

 

[Mobius 1]

Wheeeeeeeeeee~

Edit: Poor marking, the defense left Tiago by himself where you should never leave anybody unmarked.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Damn how do we let them score so easily on a set piece...

 

[nick nacc]

USA , always breaking my heart early in the game. We're used to crawling back

 

[Nesotenso]

well lets play better and get possession more for the rest of the game.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Goal!

Great job there, Bradley to Johnson to Herc

 

[TheChits]

Most excellent goal

 

[StriKeVillain]

Great ball from Bradley there, Xavi-esque.

 

[NoRéN]

Much better. Gomez has been ignored for too long. About time he gets to play and repays it with a goal.

 

[ZZMitch]

Nice goal! Feel more confident going into the break.

 

[Nesotenso]

Bradley has been attempting those through balls all night. Got one to work.

 

[NH Apache]

At least we arent dead out. Penalty was bs and it should be 1-1.

Donovan time.

 

[sazabirules]

Fabian has done extremely well since the Italy game. Bradley still looks to be on top of his game. We were terrible with the ball at our feet in our own end.

 

[Gamecocks625]

initiate Confed Cup revenge 2nd half...

 

[daegan]

Great goal and I'm loving Bradley, Johnson, and Gomez but I want to see better from Boca, Gooch, Edu and Donovan. So frustrated on that second goal. Pretty ridiculous way to go down.

And even I'll say that was a handball. :/ Leave your damn arms down, Gooch, BECAUSE YOU WILL NEVER GET A CALL EVER

 

[nick nacc]

Bradley my bald god.

 

[Nesotenso]

need more possession.

 

[Oozer3993]

Dempsey should be coming in. Brazil should just give up now.

 

[kassatsu]

What is the point of diving in a friendly?

 

[NoRéN]

That looked too easy for Brazil.

 

[leroidys]

Marking, again. So bad. There were 4 USA jerseys right there.

 

[Nesotenso]

too easy. no effort at all.

 

[leroidys]

he got the ball. Wasn't that egregious TBH.

 

[kassatsu]

No possession =\

 

[Nesotenso]

what's sad is that the Brazil goals have looked effortless.

 

[xbhaskarx]

How did we not score there

 

[kassatsu]

Demsey nooooooo so close

 

[TheChits]

Wow. Should have had that

 

[NoRéN]

what's sad is that the Brazil goals have looked effortless.

They've been making it look like practice. Too do that while visiting is painful to watch at times.

 

[kassatsu]

Geez. No effort
