Pre-match: PBP/Post: 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup; USA vs Saudi Arabia

Romain gall 2.0

 

Annoyed I woke up this early to see Saucedo starting. Not.a.fan.

Please prove me wrong Saucedo, you haven't yet.

 

Maybe so but I'd really love to see CCV, EPB and Glad all on the field and starting. Not doing so benches one of your best 11 IMO

 

He doesn't seem to be very good at soccer.

 

We are so predictable it's unreal

 

Bofo if you can't trap the ball youre no good to us

 

At the U20 level, NTs are so predictable results depend largely on how much has the rival coach studied you.

 

Patience

 

Oh God jones is out

 

Now we need to win to get new Zealand for sure

 

Card happy ref

 

Jones and Herrera have been a mess today. DLT is obviously playing tired. Tab is too conservative.

 

This ref is out of control

 

Jones started off badly, but he's been one of our better players since then imo

 

YOU get a yellow! And YOU get a yellow! And YOU get a yellow!

 

Both sides are going to have 10 guys on yellow by the time this one is done

 

He's been wild. A couple of nice forays but very poor defensively.

 

Brilliant. He shields this team.

 

With Jones out for R16, I think we see EPB at DM.

 

We need a winger or forward who can beat his man 1v1 and just dribble into the box.

Of course CCV has been flawless except for the fouls in the box.

 

can we stop with these lazy crosses? holy hell

 

Saudi defense moves as if with a ruler. Good offside trap play.
