72' Good Edu tackle leads to fruitless counter. Ruiz dances around FAbian but blasted cross knocked over end line.
We should have tons of opportunity on the counter now that they are pushing up. Donovan needs to take someone on because he's blowing chances in space.
For those who can't watch here is a recap In 2nd grade I was really fast, so the coach told me to stand close to the defenders and my teammates were told to kick the ball as hard as they could toward the opposition goal and I would use my speed to chase ater it and hopefully score In 3rd grade we learned how to pass to each other and stopped playing kickball The US looks like my 2nd grade team
73' 0-1 GUA dump into right corner, #20(c) Ruiz gathers. He does 3 cutbacks at box right, finally crosses, 2 Guats find a crevice at 6m center, but can't get neck angle -- weak shot bounces and rolls wide right, as #1 Howard lets it go. 74' 0-1 USA up box right, possess at box top. 75' 0-1 #13 Jones holds at box top right, tries to burst past, loses it. #19 Avila gathers, Jones gets conked, stays down. Guatemala play it out.
77' 0-1 USA free kick from center circle back left. #3 Bocanegra sends it up to box left, Guatemala head it out.
I think there is a reluctance to dribble hard to the end line due to how fast the ball is moving on the pitch. Too easy for it to go over the endline or not be in good control to make a decent cross.
