Costa Rica plays dirty and for once I'm glad. But I still have doubts on the US in general; Klinsmann's reusing the same starting lineup for the opening.
Are they even trying to contest the middle of the field? Seems like the Ticos are just setting up in the circle and trying shit.
Well, this is going well for the USA. A good result for the tournament as well. You don't want the hosts losing in the group stage.
Great first half for USA. At first, it seemed that costa rica was the better side, but, omg, USA really took advantage of their chances. The ticos started acting desperate there at some point, they were just disoriented Very entretainig match to watch
Costa Rica was playing much better than the USA but then it all went down hill after that PK. Zardes ruined a lot of chances for the USA with silly play. I really don't like him starting. Jones has shown great hustle and I love the Fabian moving forward more.
Good decision on the penalty. If you let people get away with those dirty fouls they will keep doing them.
Why isn't Dempsey captain? He's taking the role of both a #9 and #10 and is bossing the game like a general. Bradley's been absent throughout the game- even Jones is out shining him... oh great, Deuce out for Wondo.
CR just giving the ball to USA. they are like "come, here is the ball, score, ill give it to you" I dont think i ever seen a team play THAT bad. Its kinda sad
