    They should be numb to it by now with as many youth as they have lost for free.

    I feel for Fiorentina fans. Comisso is a nut.

    Pisa-Triestina 2-2 in the first leg of the playoff final. Away goals and final position in the regular season don't count. Triestina was a much better team today, even if Pisa had a lot more occasions. Sunday it's going to be really difficult because it's on their field, the only thing that gives me hope is that this season we have won 11 times away in 17 games, and once more in the playoffs. But we really need everything to go the right way.

    USA vs Jamaica - yeah - Steffen (from Beerholder's Crew team) picked as goalie because he plays the ball out of the back - a horrid give away that nearly resulted in a goal

    I am happy I didn't go to AF tonight... I kind of glanced at the game while I was doing other stuff (dinner) and it did not look good. I read around very negative comments, including some saying that half of Jamaica is composed by USL players.

    U20s fall to Ecuador.

    Our guy Durkin had a terrible game. If DCU was betting on him increasing his value during this tournament they won’t be taking that ticket back to the window.

    Durkin was put out of position in a system he isn't used to. Against Ecuador and their mid-field, Ramos should have put in Ledezma, and either gone with a 4-4-2 and drop Fuentes, or with a 4-3-3 with Mendez out.

    Sorry for the US getting eliminated.
    Yesterday I watched Italy getting rid of Mali 4-2 (a little more difficult than what the final score says), now we have Ukraine in the semi.
    This afternoon I also watche the Italy A team scoring 3 goals in 32 minutes in Athens (0-3 final)

    Thanks, I just looked up the score as well. Hopefully I'll get to see a few matches in Stadio Porta Elisa this September.

    Durkin getting killed on the internets. I didn't see a second of that tourney, but generally where there's smoke, there's fire.

    Anyone have any specific criticisms? Too slow, bad giveaways, I've heard that, but was he really the weak link?

    He didn't have the best game, but he was slow in attack and defense. He had some bad turnovers, but no more than anyone else. Once we were behind, he was the sole DM while everyone was pushed up, and was simply overrun. Ecuador had more strength, speed, and talent. Even at that, it was still close on the scoreboard.

    If he's going to improve as a player, he needs to play more than he is with DC now
