terrible first touch on wing even worse finish

Ghana should've forced a save there, at the least

wonder if Savage was kicked into the co-commentary bcz of his 'argument' w/Henry last night.

US can't leave this space on the flanks vs Portugal surely?

ffs Jermaine Jones get it together man...

DeMarcus Beasley is quite terrible.
― Van Horn Street, Monday, 16 June 2014 22:53 (nine years ago) link
seems a bit mean keeping henry & seedorf up for this, more of a claridge & rosenior gig
― r|t|c, Monday, 16 June 2014 22:54 (nine years ago) link
well that turned into a whole lot of faffing about
hopefully things will tighten up in the 2nd half?

When was Beasley transformed into a left back anyway? Only know him as winger when at PSV.

that was great when Muntari almost punched Jones
― cajunsunday, Monday, 16 June 2014 22:54 (nine years ago) link
nothing more fun than watching the game with a bunch of maroons opining on how it's good that the US are doing so well since all the kids play soccer now
smdh

stfu everyone that was a great first half
v impressed with yank movement. drilled far better than England. Ghana wasteful, not calling it tbh.
ref excellent, Portuguese match official take note.

Beas has been playing there since JK came on board pretty much
― dan m, Monday, 16 June 2014 22:56 (nine years ago) link
And srsly if you think he's bad you should see the other left backs
*tries to remember other MLS left-backs*
Tony... Beltran?
― William Bloody Swygart, Monday, 16 June 2014 22:57 (nine years ago) link
I enjoyed that, wtf is going with US right hand side tho?

Ever heard of Heath Pearce? Right
― dan m, Monday, 16 June 2014 22:59 (nine years ago) link
Surely Donovan would have been a better choice than lightweight Danish kid, no?
― everyday sheeple (Michael B), Monday, 16 June 2014 22:59 (nine years ago) link
Thanks Dan, I didn't find him particularly bad tbh, that was someone else here iirc
― In the airplane over the .CSS (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 16 June 2014 22:59 (nine years ago) link
"Lightweight Danish kid" is actually Icelandic, and had a pretty good season at AZ. Promising striker.

If Altidore is toast could they bring in Lando? Srs question I don't know the rule.
― dan m, Monday, 16 June 2014 23:01 (nine years ago) link
lol I just saw the FIFA ad talking about how it fights match manipulation.

let me get a belated "lol pepe" in since i'm only now seeing the highlights
can't his wife just hit him with a frying pan every time he gets home

I'm guessing no

Perhaps Jurgen could suit up and play as a player coach
― 龜, Monday, 16 June 2014 23:04 (nine years ago) link
lando is probably at a sandals resort right now
― Sufjan Grafton, Monday, 16 June 2014 23:04 (nine years ago) link
Spots OK LBI, he just looks like the polar opposite of the Big Man Up Front threat of Altidore. Never heard of the guy before
― everyday sheeple (Michael B), Monday, 16 June 2014 23:04 (nine years ago) link
we need to call jack reacher.

Brooks for Besler, eeep
― dan m, Monday, 16 June 2014 23:05 (nine years ago) link
Brooks! He's horrible.
― pandemic, Monday, 16 June 2014 23:06 (nine years ago) link
lol @ Seedorf on Pepe "what would Ronaldo think of this?"
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 16 June 2014 23:06 (nine years ago) link
Each squad has seven named reserves that it can call up if one of the 23 gets injured, I believe. And I don't think Landon's one of the USA's.
― William Bloody Swygart, Monday, 16 June 2014 23:07 (nine years ago) link
lando's on espn doing halftime commentary

has bedoya been basically terrible all game or do i just happen to be paying attention whenever he fucks up?
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Monday, 16 June 2014 23:09 (nine years ago) link
looked threatening to me tbh
― dn/ac (darraghmac), Monday, 16 June 2014 23:10 (nine years ago) link
So far, goals of african teams without Didi Drogba on pitch: 0?
All these unforced long balls/sloppiness... Put down a 2-1 for this earlier which imo should be -still- entirely reasonable given what Ghana looks capable of and the state of US defense but on the other hand the consistency for two goals at once seems impossibly far away.
― the europan nikon is here (grauschleier), Monday, 16 June 2014 23:10 (nine years ago) link
No, hang on, Donovan would be a reserve as he was in the 30-man squad. Unless I've badly misunderstood how the 30-man thing works. Which I suspect I probably have.
― William Bloody Swygart, Monday, 16 June 2014 23:10 (nine years ago) link
lol, the USA have had to bring an actual linebacker on to man central defence

As soon as the tournament starts, you are allowed to bring in fresh players, regardless of injuries etc
