Re: Beasley/Russel PSV vs Rosenborg 11/2 (R) 49' beas looking in control, works through 3 then gets tripped up a bit, no call. rosenborg ball goes long on the break, goal kick farfan back on
Re: Beasley/Russel PSV vs Rosenborg 11/2 (R) 51' rosenborg looking more settled, but game still being played in their half. psv finding a bit more rythem, but give away
Re: Beasley/Russel PSV vs Rosenborg 11/2 (R) The link didn't work for me either. I got the dreaded... "This page cannot be displayed" message. Thanks though... I'm sure it will get worked out
Re: Beasley/Russel PSV vs Rosenborg 11/2 (R) Worked for me. Long pass, Beasley outran three defenders (he's as fast as ten men!) and dribbled the keeper.
Re: Beasley/Russel PSV vs Rosenborg 11/2 (R) i dont think he linked it right, delete the / thanks for putting up the goal!, Bease took it well.
Re: Beasley/Russel PSV vs Rosenborg 11/2 (R) Thanks, Johan. Superb control by Bease on that great long ball from Cocu.
Re: Beasley/Russel PSV vs Rosenborg 11/2 (R) 55' back and forth. cross in by farfan, not overly dangerous flow has moved up the field a bit into the psv end, corner to rosenborg, comes to nothing
Re: Beasley/Russel PSV vs Rosenborg 11/2 (R) Thanks for the movie clips folks... really appreciate it. Nice goal by Beasley. In the short time he's been at PSV, it seems his first touch, crossing, and shot have all improved... maybe it's because he's enjoying himself. Beasley looks like he's absolutely loving life at PSV. He always seems to be smiling when he is on the field. I'd vote for him as the happiest yank abroad
Re: Beasley/Russel PSV vs Rosenborg 11/2 (R) Watching the goal clip: That is the absolute best way to play to Beasley's strengths. High balls over the top, let Beasley outrun opposition. What is impressive: Usually DMB needs more space- this time, he made an excellent trap while being approached. He's learning over there. It is always best for DMB to have a simpler shot- simply because his accuracy is not so great. But he did a great job keeping his head, and had the wide open goal. Looks like the entire backline of Rosenberg got caught napping, including Russell, but a fine play by DMB......for US Nats, our outside fullbacks should look for that play (and Casey or McBride should clear the space sometimes for such a move) Way to go DMB....
Re: Beasley/Russel PSV vs Rosenborg 11/2 (R) Anyone know if Beasely is going to be called up for the Jamaica game? I would rather he stay with PSV till the next round.
Re: Beasley/Russel PSV vs Rosenborg 11/2 (R) Wasn't Russel sitting on the bench (unavailable as a sub though) for the Denmark match?
Re: Beasley/Russel PSV vs Rosenborg 11/2 (R) 60' psv holding the ball a little more, floated ball into forward, gets pushed over, free kick to psv from 30m alex takes, blocked by wall, falls to farfan for rocket nicely saved by keeper parry goes wide to beas, nicely dispossesed by russell, beas chases to win it back, fouled by midfielder
Re: Beasley/Russel PSV vs Rosenborg 11/2 (R) 61' sustained pressure by psv, nice passing in the final third. nice lay-off by van bommel, just does not sit down for oncoming player, shot goes wide
Re: Beasley/Russel PSV vs Rosenborg 11/2 (R) and yeah...i think we can now say with authority, that Russell was definately one of the aforementioned 75% of the RBK defense which was smoked
Re: Beasley/Russel PSV vs Rosenborg 11/2 (R) 63' psv continues to settle into the second half, very nice possession & build-up, weak final ball to put farfan through much too heavy and goes out for gk
Re: Beasley/Russel PSV vs Rosenborg 11/2 (R) 64' beas with phenomenal run, takes 3 players one-on-one then cuts it back along the 6, just misses onrunning player. absolutely gorgeous run "deserved someone to be on the end of it, another sintilating run by beasley"
Re: Beasley/Russel PSV vs Rosenborg 11/2 (R) ...as I watch the reaction of the crowd I just blows my mind what an incredible privilege it must be to play in front of such passionate fans. I'm imagining Beasley as a young, and small kid, getting hassled for playing soccer but being determined to succeed. (and not a 'real' sport, like b-ball maybe, he's from Indiana,right?) this is totally unnecessary but, I just can't imagine LD not wanting to experience that for himself, but to each his own,
Re: Beasley/Russel PSV vs Rosenborg 11/2 (R) just showed it again, could have been more selfish and shot it, but lovely ball, unlucky for noone to find it on the other end 66' another dangerous chance, great ball by cocu to slip vofh through, but just offsides
Re: Beasley/Russel PSV vs Rosenborg 11/2 (R) Hmmm I don't know. I didn't think so based on his comments when Bruce called him up.
Re: Beasley/Russel PSV vs Rosenborg 11/2 (R) 63' Beasley dances past four Norwegian players before cutting inside the area and attempting to find Vennegoor of Hesselink with the outside of his foot - but Mikael Dorsin is there to clear. Breathtaking play by the American winger.
