US looking pretty poor so far

NEED BRADLEY

 

[andycapps]

What happened to Donovan's eye anyway?

 

[The_Inquisitor]

That was a fucking awful dive.

 

[timetokill]

Mexico picking up some Costa Rican tips

 

[CRS]

Anyone else with poor sound on the Univision stream?

Sound is fine over here.

Edit: Watching the channel, Univision. I think I misunderstood your question.

Not sure if Uni has an internet stream or not.

 

[Cornballer]

What happened to Donovan's eye anyway?

Pink eye

 

[andycapps]

These halfhearted attempts to clear are going to end up biting us at some point tonight.

 

[CobbFC09]

We're losing possession way too easily.

 

[Oozer3993]

Fabian Johnson looks terrible so far. Constantly losing the ball and his passing has been woeful.

Yeah I mean the online stream on their website.

 

[yellow submarine]

Ian Darke is fine, the other two are just awful at commentating. Interrupting each other like a bunch of 5 year olds...

 

[methodman]

Getting better

 

[Clydefrog]

Fabian Johnson looks terrible so far. Constantly losing the ball and his passing has been woeful.

yeah he is having a nightmare game so far

oh man almost landycakes magic

 

[CRS]

Finally. Ball movement.

 

[Cornballer]

Argh. Free header.

 

[Clydefrog]

daaaaaamnit

 

[CRS]

What a saveeeeeeeeee

 

[The_Inquisitor]

FUCK

 

[CobbFC09]

Thought EJ had that for sure.

 

[Cornballer]

Nice bear hug on Jones during that corner.

 

[Judderman]

Guy just had Jones in a goddamn vice.

 

[Cellbomber]

Guy just had Jones in a goddamn vice.

I wonder if the header went into Jones would they have called a penalty. He had no way to even move.

 

[El_Presidente]

Fabian looking like a shit sandwich tonight.... he looks like hes never seen a ball before

 

[NoRéN]

Mexico controlling the game in Columbus. Sad to see.

 

[Cornballer]

Mexico controlling the game in Columbus. Sad to see.

Eh, to be fair, we've usually sat back a fair bit and used the counter & set pieces to beat Mexico in these games. Not that we're playing well right now, and the expectations are higher than they used to be.

 

[CRS]

Anyone know the humidity there?

 

[andycapps]

I expect some good substitutions at the half. Johannsen hopefully. Fabian Johnson has been rough.

 

[Judderman]

Aw man, beautiful stuff from Fabian.

 

[timetokill]

Fabian looking suddenly good momentarily, lol

 

[CRS]

Holy shit.

 

[Cornballer]

Nice grab from Howard. These counterattacks with F Johnson drifting too high are alarming.

 

[Frank the Great]

This game is being played at a snail's pace, really boring.

 

[methodman]

Jones is awful lol

 

[Judderman]

This game is being played at a snail's pace, really boring.

This is the longest half I've ever experienced.

 

[andycapps]

This game is being played at a snail's pace, really boring.

Both teams seem really cautious to me.

 

[Cornballer]

Jones is awful lol

He's played a solid half so far. Much better than in Costa Rica.

 

[CRS]

Another good save.

 

[dalVlatko]

This game is being played at a snail's pace, really boring.

Yeah, not sure why US is being so defensive

Both sides can't do anything with the ball

 

[Cellbomber]

Jones is awful lol

He's actually an enforcer in these type of games. He's the player that the opposition can't push around. I'd say he's the most physical (dirtiest as well) player we have. All teams need a player like this.

 

[Cornballer]

Welp, I'll take the 0-0 after that half.

Maybe Klinsmann is prepping another US rope-a-dope, since that's been our MO recently.

 

[timetokill]

US has no midfield control at all

I hope the Mexicans are tired and we can push a bit more next half

 

[NobleGreenBeast]

It was an ok half. I feel like the US needs a lot of more movement. A lot of the time when the defenders have the ball, they cannot get the ball forward and lose possession. I guess this is where Bradley is missed as he can switch the ball from one side to the other or link the defenders withe the midfielders. Hopefully the second half goes better.

 

[Nesotenso]

FJ is struggling at RB but he is not playing at his favored position. Ball needs to move faster. EJ played well.

 

[Cornballer]

Yup, US using the wings....

 

[Cornballer]

I’d like to see Parkhurst in for Bedoya. Put Donovan at RW and F Johnson to LW. Save Johannsson for a little bit later in the game.

 

[Cornballer]

Ugh. F Johnson is hurt, so Parkhurst is coming on at RB.

 

[Judderman]

Aww come on.

 

[NoRéN]

Yup, US using the wings....

Playing like a damn guest hoping for counters.

Come on, guys!

Yes!

 

[Cornballer]

Woooooooooooooo
