Yep, a lot of it is perception. Matt's had games where he's done really well, and only let in one goal, but the goal was an embarrassing one, and...
I wish every big soccer thread had a post making fun of Mat Millen.:inlove:
Wes starts, Timmy on bench, where is everybody?? Just tuned in to see Wes launch himself in the box to try to meet a too-high cross with no regard...
Johnny starts, no Luca, so I'm on team Real Betis today :thumbsup:
Not fit enough yet: Speaking in his pre-match press conference a short time ago, Claudio Giráldez confirmed that all of Luca de la Torre, Carlos...
I am just enjoying your status: "New Member" Feb. 14, 2002 Never seen that before :D
You knew it would be his foot skills that got him in trouble.
Perfect result, just good enough to keep them safe, not good enough to keep Luca off the field :D
I'd call that a dagger to the heart if they had played like they had one.
Yeah, he's definitely a core player. And he sort of gets to play the same role/position every game, so that's a nice change from his Germany days....
He was certainly better than his last game with PSV, where he completely whiffed on the game-winning sitter so that Pepi could grab the glory...
That was the hardest I've seen Gio work on defense, ever. Loved that Matt played safe in the back. Loved that the most technically skilled...
That was fun. Goals were great. And my God, seeing the ref take away the penalty and pull out the card for diving, that was sublime. Dos a Cero?...
Dest has to hustle back, geez. There's a reason I liked him better as a wing with a back 3 at Barcelona than as an outside back in a back 4. Well...
It's not the best, but Puli's "man in the mirror" goal may be my favorite. Mmm febrile. Have some rep.
I'm a little shocked we're not rolling with a more defensive midfield against Mexico.
This man begs to differ.:D [MEDIA]
Sarcasm my friend, sarcasm. Man of the Match vs Mexico, shut out, one goal conceded in a draw, shut out. That's his last 4 games for the Nats.
Since his absurdly awesome sub appearance vs Mexico, Ethan has shut out Costa Rica shut out Oman given up one goal to El Salvador and not a lost...
Gotta feel for Jamaica. I'm not sure I've ever seen a team lead for 95 minutes straight of regulation and yet not win in regulation. That's gut...
Lol, Haji and Gio just rubbing Gregg's nose in it now.
It would look sexy.
I think you're being a bit harsh. The BJ era was intoxicating :D
Well the kits are nice :whistling: I wouldn't mind seeing Timmy at RB for the second half. He's not great there for Juve, but "not great" would...
Well, I'd have started Horvath, Johnny, Pepi, and myself. We're still gonna romp though. Where's that pbp thread?
