PBP: 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup: USA vs. Colombia, 6/10 3:30 AM EST

Rubin making a lot of grown man plays.

 

62' 1-0 Zelalem chases and fouls with a hook-slide. Colombia fk trick play: five guys huddle around this ref, all asking for a card -- and behind ref's back, Colombia take a quick fk backpass

64' 1-0 Rubin blasts right foot from 25m mid-right, high wide right.

 

We still look pressured. New players coming in for Colombia.

 

good try Rubin.

 

CCV is the man

 

Bad, bad final pass

 

Darn it. That sequence was almost great. Too heavy final pass.

 

I am worried about these linesmen as well. I don't want to get concacaf'd.

 

I still don't like this.

 

Payne is a beast, sooo much better than Moore

 

gotta like Payne as a f b

 

US has done well to create chaos in this game. Preferably we could take control. On a sidenote its a positive sign that we were able to work through the Colombian onslaught to start the half without burning any subs.

 

That's some good shit from Payne. Tackle that mofo hard and clean.

 

Question: is this the style of play we've been using all tournament long? First game I am watching due to craY work hours , not to mention crazy New Zealand time

 

lol zelalem tired

 

Zelalem draws a foul. He's been suffering these fouls all game, it's just that the ref's calling it now.

 

They whistled a foul on Giddy!!!!! Hallelujah

 

Great play from Zelelam and Rubin. Space opening up as the Colombians seem to tire and our passing improves.

 

Zelalem draws the foul and makes sure to take as much as time to recover.

 

We've got them by the throat. One more goal and it's over.

 

Botched pull back and attemped nutmeg not unnoticed, Zelalem's confidence and creativity sure is refreshing

 

66' 1-0 Allen(?) or Acosta one-touch pass up wide left, hits their guy in the shins. Colombia backpass to Tello, we swarm him 2-v-1 with close pressure -- and he coughs it up. Hyndman pokes it free, counters to box top mid-left -- doesn't shoot, continues to center, then overhits a diagonal pass through 10m box right.

1. We press effectively.
2. It bothers them!
3. We're defending the lead by ... attacking more

 

Nail biting time ....please don't be like Hungary

 

Yeah, that foul is not going to be given with this ref. Good luck with that.
