What others call "grit" has always been stamina. The USMNT can run the full 90. It's what made us pesky rivals. That's something that comes from...
Thing about Mexico is that they were the one C-CAF team to show against strong rivals outside the region. 2002 they beat Croatia and Ecuador,...
There would be if we had a DM and a CM with mainly defensive duties.
[ATTACH] How can you evacuate when all the roads leading out are blocked? Background:...
The game has grown more physical, specially in defending. That was bound to hit some countries hard, specially Mexico, and most of South America...
Claudio and Gregg were immense in Jeonju.
He'll be ok. I rather have him playing 10 minutes each other game than getting broken in those legendary savage EPL releg battles.
The ironic thing is that now, for us, with our so-so CB pair, weaker GK, and lack of lethal strikers, our kryptonite will be teams that defend...
They get more money having it in the USA. Bet they're the ones pressuring C-CAF to have everything in the USA.
We don't have international quality strikers but Haji may be as close as we get.
Will Ream last two more years? It went as expected. I knew Mexico would be easier than Jamaica, they could not bunker. I expected a 2-1 or 3-1,...
The Mexicans won't bunker, they come to play. Our defense is likely to concede one, but they don't have enough to go at it against our players for...
Jedi is better defensively than Dest, but we all saw him against Jamaica. We're going to need two mids covering the defense, if we're playing...
The keeper is the guy organizing the defense too, and not just in set pieces. The defenders have to respect the guy. Getting a bunch of...
I rather have the forward scoring goals than the one running around a lot and not scoring anything.
They should be capable of beating Palace at home, while Luton travels to meet the Spuds.
Also, hold your horses on Adams. At least wait until he's played a few games, he may not be the same.
Jedi and Dest are praised for their attacking chops, not their defensive ones.
It's a second cycle. Coaches seldom do as well in their second cycle, they get married to the ideas that made them keep the job in the first place...
Trusty/Scally are playing in Europe because God smiles on His little children. Balogun seems to play for us with about the same enthusiasm...
Jamaica took out Canada. So they're nothing to scoff at. We were a tad "unlucky" --which is expected, lacking top level goalscorers and facing a...
They had 3 shots on goal. I typed 1 and saw it as a 3, guess I need bigger fonts.
Mexico is coming to play so they're more likely to get smacked.
Jamaica came to defend and we have a fairly strong team with no imagination to break bunkering rivals. 75% possession and 10 shots on goal for...
If Nuno hates him enough, he'll continue riding pine no matter what.
