    Unfortunately the USMNT style is meh…no personality or dynamics.

    Our attacking passing and forward movement is pretty good. We’re basically dominating. It’s just that crappy back pass from Acosta to the keeper that has screwed things up…

    Tied, they had multiple counters they decided to ‘pull up’ instead of playing a through ball. Worse, there was typically a forward in position and lookinh for the through ball…and they just wouldn’t play it.

    The US basically dominated. If Acosta hadn’t ********ed up it would have been a clean sheet!

    Well bummer for Sebastian Berhalter but there's hope this can still happen on the last kick.

  17. Calvo was saved. Ironically, Malik Tillman made his PK in the shootout.

    I KNEW IT! I was out of the room for that. I figured he'd be good for a whiff.

    Women's Euro begins today.

    Finland v. Iceland, watching at a pub in Porvoo, Finland. Decent crowd, but very subdued.

    I wanted to go to a Finnish Top Division match, but the local team was playing an away match tonight.

    In a dive bar in Helsinki, I saw a drunk Finnish girl absolutely take out an even more drunk old dude who was harassing her. She went after him, and every time he came back she would pound on him...then she fell face down on the sidewalk.

    The bar tender (who was Turk or Middle Eastern) commented that "Finnish women are bad ass!"

    The same can be said for the Icelanders.
