PBP: ¡HAVE AT IT!: United States vs Belgium in Brussels

"See, thats the point. When you get down to it, there aren't that many new faces. This is the same pool that the previous coach had at his disposal. There isn't anyone that has played that wasn't capped by the previous coach. "

ok, but to tact like we played these players in these positions would be false too. we're seeing new faces actually given an opportunity to play and produce with the first team. sure they're not all producing at a high level, but anyone paying attention sees what torres gives us.

bb wanted to scrap through games and hope to eek out a victory. klinsmann wants to win the right way. looking forward, that's what a lot of us want to, it gets boring watching the us claw and dig their ways through games. honestly, I was DONE with the USMNT after costa rica and here I am back on the bus because we're getting a good opportunity to see where the pool is.

beckerman, torres + shea have all emerged as serious players since klinsmann arrived. that has to do not with form, those players could all ball, it has to do with formation and tactics and bb was never going to let it roll

 

MLS guys who com into these games usually do really well.
They are used to having to work for their bread.

 

Stop the presses!!!!!!! Here is the post of the year.

 

agudelo is such a smart and dedicated lone striker.

very mature

 

\Harsh

 

lol at lucoocoo

 

Well that was a fast turnaround.

 

No, not really. He has had a lot of trouble with RBNY this year. Yes he has scored some goals and had some bright moments. Still has a long way to go.

 

you know, we could have kept Bob and taken the difference in salary between Bob and Jurgen and invested in youth development or something.

 

What the hell..PRESS!!!

Can someone explain to me what we were doing for the last 45 seconds there? At least TRY to score an equalizer.

 

Tremendous sense of urgency.

 

wow that was a horrible sequence

 

They are tired.

 

I hate that lack of urgency in the last 30 seconds. Don't care if it's a friendly, don't care if you're tired. Hate it hate it hate it.

 

WOW nothing towards the box to get a tying goal!!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

 

But, does he want to lose the right way?

 

More crisp midfield play from Edu.

Does that hurt your feelings, Sam?

 

Okay, that just pissed me off. Maurice - you play the FULL 90 minutes until the whistle blows. That half-assed pass at the end was terrible. Still seconds on the clock.

 

Wow, those last 20 seconds were just brutal. No ball into the box? Just pass out the clock why don't ya

 

Why knocking ball around?

 

We win by not scoring more than the other team. Got it.

 

What a terrible game.

 

yea because the ussf would really do that

they'd probably ban the bob bradley tifo, if anyone actually made that
