Bradley has been invisible, and the U.S. is content to counter-attack apparently. Look how many crosses and shots Ghana had because the U.S. just lets them pass the midfield likes it's all good.

ah man you know landon donovan is FUMING
like they have to turn the A/C on in the studio otherwise the equipment would burn up in there while he's talking right now.

Especially considering he could have been a great replacement for Altidore.
Maybe if they try to keep the ball longer they wont need to take that approach, Ghana has had most of the ball in this half.
i mean the African countries have comparable athletes to our Black athletes and they generally don't do that well in the World Cup. Athleticism isn't the be all end all in the soccer
Exactly what I've been saying. Naija in the final 3rd......horrible. The long balls were poor, no one could finish. They are a decent side but I an very suspicious on who will finish for them.
Hell Moses' form was really that good that last few months anyway.
I don't know if that was their mindset going into the game, or they only took that approach because of the early goal.
Yo.....we got a brother in goal?
Possession is out the window with the US at the moment. JK needs to fix this stat, cause keeping this up for another 45 isn't gonna work.
Bradley is winning them back, but is lost in transition giving up lazy passes.
And Beasley is super suspect on that wing with Ayew whipping everything in. Wonder if Yedlin gets a go to finish.
No US fan should be content with this score though. We need another one.

yea i guess, altidore with them bad hamstrings need to get on a plane and go home. 1st game and you out? smh
To be fair, Almeida and Coentrao went through this very thing this morning.
That humidity is zapping players that don't play in Brazil.
see, don't go in that direction.
I'm asking about the athleticism obviously they would have the technical skill if they grew up playing it. It's not asking if that is the end all be all it's about how shook would you be if a.p. is coming at you full speed with westbrook on one side and percy harvin on the other.. as a defender.
One of the best keepers in the world... I don't even follow soccer like that but I know who he is

US has got to try and apply some pressure. They can sit back... Not the way Ghana is attacking. That one goal ain't gonna hold up.

U.S. should've been training in nothing but the swamps of the south then.
Agreed :shrugs:
Exactly
Because they are more interested in personal glory. There is no cohesion, coordination and the coaching is also suspect. Many of these players play for bug clubs in europe, you don't see them making lazy passes or poor crosses, yet when they play for their national teams they forget the fundamentals. The Nigeria game was an abomination and Ghana so far isn't doing too well either.
Jozi
Still think Eddie Johnson needed to be on this team. And feel it coming, Beasley is about to get burnt on these through balls/counters soon.
Beas is ok, some help from Jermaine is vital. Still got Chandler and Yedlin behind em though, so rotation is key.
yikes
Wow that was close
