[Smoke Van Gundy]

This sum bullshit

 

[SIDESHOW]

Oh my fucking God

Welp......

 

[TIMEISMONEY]

you can see the ball coming and still can't stop it

 

[DJCandle]

Can't be mad at that freekick. He's the best for a reason.

 

[PJN]

Goal keeper is trash along with the midfield. Such a stupid foul to give

 

[DJCandle]

Yedlin's drive took 35 mins to muster.. Christ

 

[HisFlyness]

Fuck it. I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy how ill this dude is, cuz it's lookin real bleek for us.

No goalkeeper was stopping THAT kick

Midfield is def trash tho

 

[DJCandle]

None.

 

[PJN]

How many Italians are playing for Argentina?

 

[DJCandle]

If we can pull one back before the half, we're back in it.

Agreed, I'm still mad about the 1st goal

 

[Smoke Van Gundy]

DJ

We cant even get a shot on goal

Brah, they already worn out from chasing Argentina the entire game

Nevermind the goal, we can't get the damn ball..

Bradley needs to subbed for Nagbe and Wondo for Pulisic. I expect nothing from those two, so why not give those kids some amazing playing experience.

This nigga Bradley

 

[DJCandle]

This is the definition of a clinic.

 

[DJCandle]

Argentina are simply smarter with the ball through every facet of play. They don't just have it, but cherish it at every interval.

This is what we in this country need to learn.

There's no strategy when the US has the ball. As soon as someone gets the ball, they're looking to get rid of it because they don't want to be the one that gives it up.

It's night/day how Argentina and the US pass the ball.

 

[SmoothD]

Our weak midfield game (in particular, the center) is killing us.

The latter comes from youth. It's that simple.

As for what we call English football or "long ball city..." they're simply too tired to pass and move. There's a certain sharpness that's missing from this US team right now.

Klinsmann will gamble now because this is the last 45 mins of this tournament if he doesn't.

It can either kill us or bear fruit. We'll see.

 

[Smoke Van Gundy]

They just called out Bradley and Wondolowski on the halftime show

This foo Bradley a legacy or something? Why is it even a discussion. Snatch his ass up outta there

He's the face of US soccer. Quintessential poster boy CAC.

That's why he's out there. Going forward to Russia in 2018, I'd personally leave him off the roster.

@DJCandle

Whats the word on Pullsic?

Yeah, as I've watched America play over the years, we just don't have that hyper accurate crispness to our ball movement that you see from the elite clubs. I agree that it's something to where you have to grow up with the ball in your crib. You develop a touch from kicking that ball around as a young child, that can never be reclaimed once that initial window is closed. Just as young kids brains can soak up sooo much information at a young age(it's easier to learn multiple languages, learn an instrument(s), etc), I believe the same applies to certain motor skills.

The kid has big game experience playing for Dortmund in Germany. He'll be comfortable out there and should look miles better than Wondo.

Couldn't have said it better. No worries.. The futures bright for us here once this old guard vacates.
