[Soccer] USMNT friendlies & beginning of WC 2014 Qualifying

It was a friendly.....

Although, being the last one should of had some push in it.

 

I think they sort of got all the info they needed out of Brazil and Scotland...and it was pretty clear by all those subs late that they wanted to just get some caps for guys that aren't really in their plans.

You're giving them too much credit. Klinsmann obviously is looking for a fit. Team USA and its players are still trying to change from Bradley ball to a long ball and it shows. The defenders are trash and The forwards aren't ready for the long ball yet. It's going to take time.

 

^^ How much longer?

It seems that the Klinstyle worked against the Sco'ish, but the Brasileiros had no part of that... much more solid. Their tough D will allow the least goals in the Olympics... book it.

They also heard it from a bunch of us in the parking lot, walking to their cars, passing by where we were... etc., etc. :grin: ¡Quieeeereeee lloraaaarrrr!

Some lady had the audacity to come and say " CONGRATULATIONS, You all beat a bunch of under-23 players..." so I said "Why play, then? Let's not play the game at all! What did you want our team to do, lie down and take it up the a$$?"

 

Yeah, the Olympics? Lmao.

 

They are creating a lot more chances, they could use some speed up front though and it would be nice to see Altidore a bit more....

And yeah, they are not good in the back....I think Gooch is done.

Heads up. Game at six in the afternoon.

¡VAMOS, EE.UU.!

I don't understand the "LMAO", REEKO... please elaborate.

 

Think he's talking about the fact that Olympics mean nothing in soccer(at least for the powerhouses) and that the US performance there won't mean anything looking at WC 2014. At least that's how I interpreted it.

 

True, but I think the USA failing to qualify is a major black eye to all the progress they have made since the early 90s...that was inexcusable, IMO.

Forgot that USA didn't qualify, my post should say "Brazil's performance".

 

Onyewu is awful... and is done WOW!

 

lol....ATG have terrible ball handling skills.

 

Onyewu is total trash now. He shouldn't be playing ever again.

 

Let me clarify my lmao post.

Not even qualifying for the Olympics is what I was laughing about.

 

ugly win.

 

Their keeper played well, we dominated possession, and had by far the most chances.

Hopefully Torres is ok, because Gooch is horrible now, also getting Boyd a cap was smart.

USA got the 3 points, on to Guatemala.

I was about to post LOL at EE.UU, but then I didn't. both defenses are sucking more than my X girlfriend. :grin:

 

If your ex girlfriend sucked so much, why is she your EX?

She even sucked at sucking, Mister DD.

 

That sucks !
