Why is it seen as negative that some of would like to engage in international football discussion with what is, no offence, a somewhat insular thread.

Part of this wine companies comedy bit is to have yellow cards announced as the Yellow Tail Yellow Card. I do not believe it is linked to large flags or childrens cartoons, but maybe you could research it a bit further to find the ties.

CubanMissile posted:Is Pissflaps still here to tell me what to call things and how to value friendlies? I need to get out of this insular thread and learn how to be a proper world football fan but I'm not sure how. So far I think it just boils down to saying "Jozy is poo poo" alot and making USTMNT jokes, but I need help with the finer points, tia. Jozy are poo poo. It's Jozy our poo poo. Jozy hour poo poo Anyway, great match, from my vantage point on the ESPN live chat! Can't stream it at work. Ahhhh well. I don't think I yelled TOO loud when Altidore scored that free kick.

Makes sense that a wine would be involved with our beautiful sport considering how whiny a lot of my fellow Americans are! Just a little joke for ya there I hope you enjoyed it.

CubanMissile posted:And you need to realize that kissing Pissflap's rear end doesn't make you Pissflaps. There is no need for baseless accusations and personal attacks. I feel the forums would be enriched if everyone would participate in areas where we could all learn from each other. I'm not Pissflaps, don't want to be Pissflaps, and have a posting style I would say is diametrically opposed to his. But I also have come to understand that the man has a very deep understanding of the game, as well as countless other posters that you would never encounter while staying within the confines on this insular thread. I've played, observed, and studied this game for over 35 years and I find it refreshing to learn nuanced subtleties from others that have done the same thing from different parts of the world. The American soccer experience is unique; this is a good and bad thing. I think we could all learn from each other and would love to see more interaction between those that post exclusively in this thread with those that eschew it. The choice is ultimately yours, but to ignore an opportunity to learn something is a chance I don't think anyone should pass up.

So, uh, what'd everyone think of that Kevin Bacon-looking kid? Think he goes to San Jose in three weeks? (Note: Herc's knee is messed up; he probably won't see club action until October)

He had some really good runs off the ball and some creativity on it, I definitely want to see him get a little more than 30 minutes in another game.

...because he has two really good goalkeepers and confidence in both? What the hell is there to experiment with? Has there been one game in the past, hell, four years anyone can legitimately argue would've turned out differently (in our favor) had Guzan or somebody else been in goal? I'm not putting down Guzan and Co. and I realize that Howard has long since peaked, but he's done absolutely nothing to warrant taking the job away from him.

Let me share some unique US soccer experience with you, in this very thread, because you are missing the subtlety. Instead of following the ball, follow the off ball movement. Look for triangles to appear, dissolve and then reappear right before your eyes. Watch as player's heads swivel to find the man making the run for the second pass, not the first. Watch the tight control and decision making. Don't appreciate the pass that was made, appreciate the pass that wasn't because it was more difficult and less likely to be successful. Watch the instant pressure applied once the ball is lost. Appreciate the monumental patience and discipline required to maintain possession without making foolish passes for long stretches. Realize that they are making things that are incredibly difficult to do both physically and tactically look so easy that it becomes boring. Or you can just say lol US friendlies are boring and hate them.

I was finally able to watch it, unspoiled. That was pretty cool and I yelled holy poo poo way more than I usually do during friendlies. This thread is the best except for when people post in it. I love all of you soccer fans, especially the super cool ones from real footballing nations who endeavor to teach us the ways of this mysterious game that none of us have been exposed to until a week ago. *hugs* Anukis fucked around with this message at 01:43 on Aug 16, 2013 |

Friedel finally started to show his age for Spurs last season, Guzan is the solid #2 at this point and I think you can make the same argument for him. When the defense is making GBS threads it up Howard starts trying to do everything and you end up with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Roc2lf6Zek e: You could make the argument, but I'd still take Howard just wanted to clear that up.

Oh hell, there was also the Swede, Thomas Ravelli? , he was a riot too.

I think Deadspin has been trying to overhype soccer for a while to try to get more people interested in the run up to Brazil. Not that you can't hype up the USMNT in a way that isn't crap.

I can't either but can say with a good amount of confidence that this was the first he scored off one. I can't recall a spot kick taken in recent years by a member of the "A" team other than Landon, Bradley, Dempsey, Herc, Torres or Zusi. I think Jones took one once, too.

All of his stuff is awful. it seems like a full 1/3rd of his articles are a single .gif or a brief video of a goal with no context or explanation. let me know if this counts as off-topic but what's with the American Outlaws? I've recently met a few and they seem farther up their own rear end than the Timbers Army (which I didn't think was possible)
