Same. I like Specs but I think for as many people who are being hypercritical of him for today's game there are as many (if not more) people who...
I beg to differ. I remember him getting turned at least twice in the run of play - due not to a KaKa-quality threaded ball but to terrible...
Is this last summer? Nope. Spector is obviously not performing at that level - and hasn't since last summer. People (not necessarily OP) need to...
Yeah, it's quite surprising his form is this different. It was a rough club season but I wonder if we saw Specs's potential at the Confed - not...
And maybe because Dolo didn't get turned and burned as much as Spector. And maybe because he shut down his mark. And maybe because he connected...

Night and day effort between halves. Better team defending - guys are rotating back for defenders moving forward. Dolo has so far been solid and...
These are fair points but as I'm posting this Spector is getting exposed by Turkey for his positioning and touch. Unfortunately neither of our...
I'm aware of the 'empty bucket' term and I also understand how our configuration works and that we're discussing the width of the mid as opposed...
Dolo will be fine, IMO. He's getting back into form with the Nats. When he's been healthy he's very reliable and great at getting forward. As for...
It 'worked' for a half against Brazil...in the second half it conceded 4 goals. While we beat Spain I think the Brazil game put all hope in...
Too bad this never happens. I've never really thought of our outside mids as being pinched in. If anything, I've always found our central mids to...
I don't understand the Cherundolo bashing. Was he perfect tonight? No, but he was fine - hardly worth that much concern. I see as many flaws in...
1. Switch Dolo with Spector. Specs ended his season in very poor form while Dolo is not only WC experienced but also is now healthy and ended his...
