These guys are talented, but like 4 years away from being actual. joepinetree posted:One of my favorite things in watching the world cup from the US is the absurd American media attempts to hype up the US team. Pusilic as the Lebron of soccer is cool. The Spanish announcers on Univision call him Captayn Amerrieca with a very pronounced hispanic accent and it's hilarious.

pool 'a sickG-Hawk posted:i strongly disagree with not starting Reyna, he is easily our best player at breaking down defenses which wales is gonna be difficult to break down. Him and Aaronson should be in there. I can't remember one good game from Robinson. Which means he'll either score or give up a pen.

joepinetree posted:My uncle was at the win. Then that night the BYU basketball team was touring South America and was playing the local club America, where this uncle played. My father did not attend the soccer game, but was at the basketball game, and the US team was there too, apparently intoxicated and very popular with local ladies. I've seen film of that match and it was stupid how many point-blank chances England had that either the goalie stuffed or they missed. And the U.S. had the one shot on goal total, maybe 2. I think they'd had a few friendlies against the U.S. squad as a run-up and they were both around 9-0 England.

skasion posted:Next World Cup we’ll probably bring Ricardo Pepi unless he’s injured or burns out. I was surprised they didn’t bring him to this one tbh, he’s not great but he’s the best young forward we have and the older players picked instead are uninspiring to say the least. Leaving Pepi off, including Wright and Morris was a big mistake. Pepi's been scoring for his club team, a thing this 1 goal in 2 matches side could definitely use.

t a s t e posted:His finish on the offside chance was quite nice I thought it was close enough for a review. He basically played like crap, but scored what would have been a wonderful goal, which is a striker's only job really. Play like poo poo, stay the gently caress onside, score, reap profits. [Dest was man of the match, imo. This is prime Serge Dest, dangerous whenever he had the ball at his feet, two-way all over the pitch until he ran out of gas. Carter-Vickers was a massive improvement over Zimmerman, who should be a last 10 minute guy from now on. If at all. If only that bald fraud would give Reyna Jr. some minutes....

Shrapnig posted:In this case I guess the sword is bad substitutions that unbalance the team I think the defense are sorted now, it's the attack that lack. Obviously the Reyna hate is a -1, Pepi included and a fit Daryl Dike might have been a revelation. I think he's trying to mold the attack too much featuring Pulisic. Him taking set pieces has been a fail.

Wonton posted:Were the USA plays too simple or based on raw athleticism? The Dutch didn’t run as hard and were marking and pressing the American team. Dutch team made quite few nice looking passes They were busy respecting the Dutch players. The coach said we respect them so much leading up to the match. They actually should have pressed and used their raw athleticism. This coach also said the U.S. need a world-class striker. What it needs more is a coach that isn't mediocre trash dogshit who whines about what he doesn't have. I do not think this Dutch team is better or more skilled than the English side. It does have a better manager than either of those two.

Crazy Ted posted:To be fair to Roberto Martinez there's not a hell of a lot you can do with a squad when all of its notable players apparently absolutely loving hate the living poo poo out of each other. This is a big deal. Team chemistry. Psychology. Fitness, skill, tactics, psychology. It's always a mix, and in the past, US. teams that had inferior skill were able to compensate with fitness and team attitude. They've never, ever had comparable skill players. The 2014 side didn't have anywhere near the skill players in their group, but they played lights out vs. eventual champions Germany, advanced and Portugal and Ghana went home.... or compared to Belgium of 8 years ago, but they weren't embarrassed like today. <cough>Wondo<cough> Thamk for reading my ted talk.

G-Hawk posted:That is a very heroic re-telling of getting to the round of 16 and then relying on tim howard to prevent a several goal thrashing Absolutely true, lol. We had an average striker in Dempsey, but had a world-class keeper that night. Enough defense to make those dozen or so shots on goal heroically savable. And a sitter for Wondolowski in extra time that could have pushed it into penalties. It's a funny old game.

joepinetree posted:If I were to pick a coach for the USMNT, I'd pick Sebastián Beccacece. Would very likely say yes, and is best at making smaller teams punch way above their weight. Like people in the Sampaoli tradition, not great at handling stars or being favorites, but whenever he's worked at middle of the road teams he made them way overperform. That was my take on Perez coaching El Salvador this past cycle. They were very skilled, disciplined, yet played creatively. He's got vintage cred. too. Never heard of your guy.

Crazy Ted posted:Also lol at the fact that a not at all small amount of the USMNT sawker fandom thinks the fact that (reportedly) Greggg didn't respond to Gio (reportedly) being a li'l poo poo by caving in and treating him like an indispensable member of the team was actually a massive failure of leadership on Berhalter's part and yet another reason why he needs to be fired yesterday I thought it really odd that Berhalter started him against Netherlands when he'd had bare minutes in the knockouts. Like, what, is he your secret weapon or something? But, with all this fallout, it makes more sense. And he was pretty much invisible in that game. If he's an rear end in a top hat toward the rest of the side thinking he's Claudio's legacy Chosen One without putting in the work, he's not going to get respect or service or success with the team. to be continued...... t a s t e posted:While true he could probably be actually crying and seething his way up and down the pitch and be more effective than morris Not if no one passes to him
