Chile can't keep up their pace for much longer, but I don't think we'll go much longer without giving up a gol playing like we are. Chile are outplaying us. Simple as that. Like others, I think Duvan would give us much needed physicality...
Yeah we need Duvan and Cardona. Also Frodo may need to be switched so that his yellow card doesn't stress him into not being daring in this match.
we lost momentum there... thank god the offside call was made... lets go boys, we need to act better and get hungry with fire in your bellies, come on!!! no PKs!!!
this team is struggling with the pace of the game and we are having a hard time matching the rhythm they're imposing. At times, they let us have the ball a bit as a way to lure the players in only to have 2/3 dudes rush forward instantly to win the ball back, as soon as they get the ball back the whole team charges forward leaving our side in a vulnerable position.
Medina is in there specifically to play Sanchez, and has done a fairly decent job. That ruled-off goal was easily handled by Ospina. That said, we need explosiveness that Arias could offer. Badly. James has nobody to play off of so far.
Not sure if we tired out that back line... not enough attacks nor anyone really posing their physical threat on them whether its size or speed.... Duvan's 60-65 mins in this game had to outweigh and cause more damage than what we've done so far... come on, lets go!
After an impressive group stage win, missing Quintero in this type of game shows.... add him to James and we'd be more lethal with the passing.
heh, I didn't even notice it was Falcao who shot that. He had a very nice play at the very beginning of the game before the assault happened
