    DLT is a player. Lennon impressed me and Sargent is a beast. Great team spirit. Problems in defense.

    No, he's atrocious.

    See all three goals, especially #3.

    Told you guys, De la Torre is good. Klinsmann is trash.

    You know, I could respond with a snarky reply to help my point that he kicked the ball into his own net, but I'm happy we got a good result. Arguing over this point is for another time.

    I wouldn't say that. We deserved the result completely and were at least their equals on the attack. Wen't toe to toe with a mid level CONMEBOL power and draw a shootout? Good result Fair Result,

    I wonder the guys that went back to bed after 7 minutes and down 2-0 will be kicking themselves when they hear about this game.

    Some great heart displayed out there. The group can still be won. Great opening test to start the tournament. Hopefully Gedion is alright.

    WTF was he doing on the first goal. Slide tackle leaves a wide open goal with an angle to shoot at. The second goal the ball went right through him. They weren't tap ins at the back post. He could've done something about both of them, and played both of them wrong.

    I don't think it was really robbery. We had chances and possession, they had chances and got their goals off terrible mistakes. We fought back and deserved the draw, we didn't steal anything.

    I felt dumb for that and that last goal was bullshit on Klinsmann's part but he came up big a few times and distributed well. And of course I respect you as a poster and appreciate your content and knowledge of the player backgrounds and whatnot. I am not above a little teasing tho.

    That Ecuador team had some players, damn.

    Game was a lot faster than Venezuela-Germany I watched.

    I was talking more about how we were constantly behind.

    I was talking more about how we were constantly behind, not that we were so badly outplayed.

    We deserved a point. Jones changed things for us. Sargent clinical.

    I would include Jones in that list. He is a monster in the midfield. Hard to knock him off the ball.

    He was put in bad situations. Im not saying hes a great keeper. Just think other guys were more at fault on the first 2.

    I loved where the Ecuador player at the end had a 1 on 1 chance against EPB.

    EPB was like Lebron rejecting a weak shot thrown up at the rim. Nah, not beating him 1v1, no one can.
