U.S. vs. Argentina In-Game Thread Part 2 [R]

that was the same play by arg again!

 

Chip the wall. Keller can't move.

 

Holy jeez, Keller moved for that floating free kick like a statute!!!

 

I wish something would happen to make this game get a little chippy. We need something to get our guys fired up. They're sleep walking out there.

 

15 minutes to go

 

They try the same play on Keller. Smart Argentina.

 

they just get shut down - 2 touches before such a thing would happen.

Though as i type that we threw another "lob" at Abondozzeri

 

I don't think anybody gets a hand to that shot. Maybe a foot.

 

Sorry, but you're wrong.

 

nice dive messi. I 'm starting to dislike Messi.

 

There are varities of 1v1s, its not just "1v1, automatic goal".

In this case, Crespo received the ball at an angle and was drifting to an even more accute angle when he struck the ball.

When a keeper is dealing with such a situation, his strategy must be to cut down the attacker's angle and make him beat him with a top class shot.

In this case, Keller overplayed the near post and let Crespo pretty much roll a shot to where he should have been positioned.

Poor keeping, not a weak goal, but one you'd like to see Crespo have to work a little harder for in that situation.

 

DeMeritt is a better player. He has worked his ass off to get where he is now.

 

Wyne is having a bad game

 

we look a little tire. keep it up guys

 

I agree. I thought this was going to be a butt-whipping.

 

God, this reminds me of the old days. Italia '90 old days.

 

Our only attacking player, Johnson, is already done for the game. He's tired and he cant play alone anymore.

 

Why is the telefutura announcer calling Marvell Wynne "Chico Maravilla" (wonder kid)....did I miss something???

 

And he came out to make the play. He read it right.

 

i'd told you ... his quickness is almost completely gone. his leaping ability is almost gone.

and worst: he's thinking/reacting very slow. and sometimes hestitantly. Keller is DONE.

 

Dang, Ray Hudson is fired up. If I were just listening to him, I'd think we were up 5-0.

 

This half has been the polar opposite of the 1st.

 

we can't even put any passes together and let alone putting a ball forward or connecting for that matter. WE are sucking. We needed better and experienced players. Arges now killing the time.

 

they will get another one and is 3-1 not a whooping? we have had like 1 shot on goal

 

Come on...that's a bit audacious...
