Tea Light in the Dark Universe: Bobby Wood at Hamburg

It was nice while it lasted.

 

their Greek defender being one of those 4 right?

 

Was that a pass?

 

Nope. It was not. Not a chance in hell.

 

Deflected

Wasn't hit hard enough to be a shot

 

9th goal for the US against Honduras. Has a home match against Leipzig on Friday. Probably won't start, then again

 

Eh he was only a sub. He may start. But start or not hopeful he scores again.

 

We reckon it's because he's a glory hunter 😉 pic.twitter.com/hLZmQh1BBx

Any clue if Bobby is going to start? Gotta know if I should set the DVR, though I imagine they'll need him as a sub regardless.

 

Every game is a big one for HSV so I'd expect him to start. Remember he didn't start against Honduras.

Damn, you just beat me to it lol

 

Anyone know how I can tell if this game is nationally televised in Germany? Shouldn't the only Friday night game be on everywhere?

 

game is on NBC Universo (and not doing a gameday PBP thread).

24' put a beautiful thru ball to release a 2vs1, guy ends up shanking it but great threaded ball.

 

From a quick look on-line, I think it's pay-per-view on Eurosport? A bar should have it.

Wie sehe ich das Spiel im TV?
Das Heimspiel des HSV gegen Leipzig wird live und exklusiv im Eurosport Player auf dem Sender Eurosport 2 HD Xtra übertragen. Kommentator ist Marco Hagemann, als Experte steht Europameister Matthias Sammer zur Verfügung.

Wird HSV gegen Leipzig im Free-TV übertragen?
Nein, Eurosport hält die Exklusivrechte. Eine Zusammenfassung des Spiels des HSV gegen den RB Leipzig ist im Nachtmagazin der ARD um 1 Uhr zu sehen.

Gibt es einen Livestream?
Ja. Sollte man als Eurosport-Abonnent keinen Fernseher zur Verfügung haben, bietet der Sender eine Alternative. Im Internet per PC, Laptop, Tablet oder Smartphone kann man das Spiel via Eurosport Player sehen. Aber: Lediglich auf Smart-TVs der Marke Samsung, die mit dem Tizen-Betriebssystem ausgestattet sind, ist die Eurosport-App verfügbar.

0-0 btw, last I checked. I'm think FoxGo has it here so I'm gonna peek in between pretending to work.

Get a VPN and you might be able to watch on your computer.

 

Watched about 5 minutes and my early impression is that, while the midfield sucked much of last year, this year, it appears to continue to suck.

Early change for HSV dunno why. Gonna work for a minute then I'll update. 36 or so in.

 

HSV get first shoot since I put it on. After screwing around and losing the ball in midfield a bunch, HSV keeper punts one long, Wood screens well to allow it to go overhead, bounce, heads wide. Shot from too far out and easily smoothered.

 

Bad PK call against HSV.

 

checked video, reversed. Terrible initial call.

 

A wonderful case for VAR

 

Bobby had a great run early on the first half, slicing through defenders but in the end got surrounded and had the ball taken from him. His best moment today.

After a few minutes came the chance Kostic sent wide. He was replaced early, seemed to have a bit of a limp. One of the HSV defenders kept sending dangerous ball to the keeper, I think it's Jung. Almost provided an assist to Red Bull.

Overall ok for Bobby.

The penalty was a tough call, but Werner was tripped unintentionally and after he had lost the ball.

 

Red scores. Was only a matter of time. Some mickey mouse fouling, quick resart. HSV ball wataching, good, fairly unpressures shot.

Wood has laid off a few times playing a kind of McBride knock-down CF.

PK was not even close. If anything Werner came in careless/reckless as he had 0 possession. Only possible call was against Leipzig. Dunno what CR was thinking.

 

Hamburg just play too slow. Phyically and mentally.

 

HSV get cleared off teh line, and smoked on the counter. This is over.

 

I did not realize Werner was that fast or Hamburg that slow.
