I can't believe some people believed we could advance out of the group. I believed it for a while. But it's just a disgrace, this tournament.
Olsen's been spectacular. I have no idea where these performances have been coming from but I have no complaints.
Olsen's out so that means the U.S. should give up a goal with the attack stemming from the midfield in 5...4....3...2...1... Why Olsen?? Is Sasha doing something out there that I am not seeing.
EJ money? What game are you watching? All I see is a striker with low confidence. He doesn't take opposition on and would rather pass. He had an open header a sec ago and headed it down to Twellman. He even had a header right now which he headed wide of the goal. All I see is a guy who lacks confidence and because of that doesn't put in a full effort. If I were EJ, I'd consider moving to winger or SS. I think if he could pick up his confidence he could be something there, however at striker against stronger opposition he tends to seem very intimidated. EDIT: for instance look at the difference between Mapp and EJ, one attacks with confidence like he did just now (even though he may mess up) and the other is intimidated therefore doesn't give what he could be capable of.
DAVIS DAVIS! He actually runs for the ball and he's got some wheels on him too. A great johnson subsitute
