PBP: Battle for 3 points: USA @ Honduras; 4:00 pm EST

Williams and Chandler have looked poor.

 

half time.
Gonz doesn't look comfortable. he is the weakest link in the back 4 next weakest is Chandler. It could be our boys are feeling the heat.

 

But it is much more fun to blame JK and say we need new center backs.

 

Jones played the ball to Dempsey for the goal

Jones also played the ball to Johnson that led to the Altidore attempt

So basically Jones has created pretty much all of our attack, yet people are saying he has been bad

 

Will Dempsey try maintaining possession, where we've actually looked decent, instead of taking terrible low percentage shots?

 

As if Boca has the legs.

 

Well that was a fun first half of Football(soccer) I wonder what the 2nd half will bring us.

 

We gotta feed jozy

 

Reminds me of when I play FIFA. All my goals are well earned classy finishes, 99% of the other teams are fuggin bull****

 

The field is like playing at the local park.

 

Playing Gonzo in a game like this TBF was a risky move that is not looking very good right now. We don't know how well Boca would do, but its fair to say that Gonzo is struggling right now (and I'm a big Gonzo fan). He looks absolutely terrified when he gets the ball.

 

No wide play at all, except for that last play by EJ. If we had any sort of wide play in this game, we would definitely be winning, might even be 2-0. We have looked good offensively, but the full backs have been really bad and lazy. Danny Williams is out of form. Otherwise, I thought we were okay.

 

Like I said I am shocked we didn't start Boca... I think we need his veteran presence along the back line

 

Guys stop bitching. That was a world class goal from both players. I'm having a great time watching this match we are tied at half time for an away match by most accounts we should be losing. The goal from Honduras could not have been defended.

 

Waaaaay too many turnovers in the back. Starting to look better offensively, but I still think we're lucky not to be down. It looks like our guys are running in molasses.

 

And you scored off a bicycle kick as a defender? How'd you do that? I'm not even mad, that's amazing.

 

Fourth time in a row in WCQ that the US has scored the first goal on the road. It has given it back every single time -- usually quickly. This team has played exceptionally poorly with a 1-0 lead.

 

He's been one of Roma's best player this season which is why he's stuck in the lineup consistently even over guys like De Rossi...


It's worrisome how gassed some of our guys look, especially Chandler and Jones. That was a great touch by Dempsey for the goal but the Honduran goal was amazing. Momentum is on their side.

 

Boca has no speed, but he is tireless in pressuring the ball. What are you talking about?

 

Also, Cameron looked good in the back, Chandler and Omar's side is looking disastrous. Omar's clearances are garbage, and Chandler isn't pressing because he's apparently shitfaced or exhausted already.

 

I would certainly be happy if this game ended 1-1. Our Germans look like they have never seen the sun before, especially Chandler

 

I really regret turning away before that mishit clearance, as I only saw the end where Chandler was over there and the ball ended up going out. I missed the setup, and the way sentiment in this thread changed on Bradley it must have been very, very bad.

 

The way it's going I'd be happy with a draw. Our mids look tired. Chandler all over the place.

 

This match we've seen the best and worst of Dempsey. Great finish but apart from that he's either been selfish or too slow to distribute the ball.

Jozy has also struggled. He can beat his man in aerial battles but when it comes to having lay a pass off it is either too hard or too sluggish for his teammates. Also there really is no connection between him and EJ to win knock downs for each other. They are way to far apart.
