"Look, I like Kyle Beckerman. I think it’s chill that he’s going for it with his hair like that. But Kyle Beckerman should be the guy watching the World Cup at a bar in Nashville with his chill hair telling stories to his bros like “Yeah man, I played youth soccer with Kobe. He was unreal man, unreal. Even back then. Another level.”

Ghana and/or Portugal vs Belgium would have been a better match

The technical gulf in quality between the teams was comical. One team looked like pro's who could trap and pass a ball, whilst the other team looked like a bunch of amateurs playing their first game. There's no point having a physical athlete if he can't dribble properly or instantly control a football.

This. The US need one or two players with technical ability to hold onto the ball/take one or two defenders off the dribble. It was hard to watch guys playing hot potato with the ball and not being able to set 4-5 consecutive passes

agreed. even lukaku's big ass was stylin' on niccas WHILE bowling them over. he came in and took over

I breathed a sigh of relief when he came on and Origi when out. But he had his way with our backline. To be fair though he was going at a tired defense that had been defending constantly for 90 mins

 

[altruicsense]

definitely not... 2010 we lose to an inferior Ghana team and had a Uruguay cupcake team in the QF possible... we could've legit made the Semifinals.

2014 we get out of the group of death and lose to a Belgian golden generation

nothing to feel bad about at all.

Seriously.. u calling a 2010 Forlan, Suarez, Cavani, Lugano, Godin, Gargano, Muslera a cupcake team? You do know Forlan won the golden ball in 2010 right?

Sometimes the words I hear from americans just baffles me.

they were only defending for about 45 total mins. them boys were letting everybody thru in the second half, if i'm not mistaken

despite this, USA were a few bad bounces away from being the first team in World Cup history to come back from 2 goals in Extra Time in the World Cup

Keep giving them "athleticism doesn't matter/ is trivial" folks that work. They need to set up a soccer camp in harlem or the south bronx, too many fast athletic kids around 5'11-6'1 that are too damn busy thinking they have a chance at making the NBA, they need to start playing soccer.

There's no reason that USSF shouldn't have blacks kids in Texas, Florida, and California playing soccer in the masses.

 

[Big Boss]

@ 6-3 220 pound lukaku pushing our frail players out of the way like

and blowing right past them.

Black athleticism

Bedoya, Zusi and Davis all terrible. I remember when I criticized Bedoya and Zusi someone told me I needed to fall back. Zusi was awful he can't compete at this level no speed, constantly getting dispossessed and he basically fukked up every attack we had today. Bedoya was a little better going forward and he did well defensively. But the US basically got nothing from their wide men.

Hindsight is 20/20 but maybe Juergen should have used Mix as an inverted winger. Such shame we did not see him this world cup
