PBP: United States vs Canada; 7/18; 5pm ET

Hoppe very good with the ball for a big guy.

 

Hoppe has skills. He lacks teammates with skills.

 

that is why roldan is a mls lifer. absolutely embarassing speed of thought there.

 

Roldan dang

 

Weak performance Roldan, fortifying he shouldn't be part of the team going fw.

 

He's on the field so Canada has to be slightly honest.

 

Youre not allowed to be objective, stop it.

 

2 brutal turnovers by Roldan

Great job Beerholder

 

Schalke was so bade Hoppe never got to show off these dribbles he has.

 

Screw that Laryea guy.

 

Outplayed, but won.

 

Karma that bad pass for a goal kick from Laryea to end the game!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Possibly the worst US game I've ever seen

 

I love that that was the final play for Canada from Laryea!

O Canada...

******** Canada

USA wins 1-0

3 points. Top of the group.

 

Yeesh, a complete clhusterflutch of mistakes in injury time. Yikes.

 

this is one of those "we won, but..." games for sure

 

Now we get to hear Lalas tell us that up is down and black is white

 

What a terrible match

but we won . . . so, yay

 

The US won. You joined BS in 2000.

 

Glad you agree. Your team lacks the je ne sais quoi that makes a good team. Lacks the cutting edge, guile, and creativity that turns an advantage into goals and results.

 

That’s what this tournament is gonna wind up being. A showcase in who’s not ready for prime time.

 

Pines was AWFUL in the 2nd half.

 

Almost feels like a loss

What a BRUTAL performance. Not one great performer on the pitch (maybe Hoppe or Sands?)

 

I don't know how to feel about this. At least it allowed some impressive defensive performances to be displayed - Robinson, Sands, Turner.

Those are the highlights. Hoppe showed some initiative & skill off the bench. That's what we gained, 3 pts, and an easier road.
