Fabian down and coming out.

[Rex Buckingham]

Shoot... Fab going down is bad news

[shnsajax]

[expletive]. What is w the hamstring issues.

[scarey]

Did we know his hammy was already bothering him? He had kinesiology tape on it already.

[Rex Buckingham]

Almost wish they had moved Cameron to right back and brought in beckerman

[Guest]

Zusi's first touch has been a nightmare so far.

[USSoccer]

Yedlin's going to be a difference maker. Just wait. His pace is going to help immensely

[Rex Buckingham]

I never thought I would say this... But I think they are really missing Beckerman in the midfield

[USSoccer]

Zusi is garbage today.

[Guest]

Look at Yedlin running down Hazard, wow

[wolf stansson]

DeAndre Yedlin is a special player.

[USSoccer]

DeAndre Yedlin is a special player.

 

Yeah he is.

 

We absolutely have to sort the midfield out, because it's killing us right now. Every time Clint gets a touch good things happen, but he's not getting enough touches because our mids are doing a [expletive] job at linking up.

Just like against Portugal, I feel like that right side is waiting to be exploited. If we get one, it's going to start out wide right.

why cant we control the midfield against germany or belgium? honest question, I dont understand soccer well at all

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Because their midfielders are way better than ours.

 

It's about quick decisions, accurate passing and being able to control the ball with your first touch when it's coming in at speed.

Well, those two teams have better mids, but in this game it's because Cameron and Zusi are doing a really poor job maintaining possession.

so its more natural talent than coaching on either side? we just seem to suck in transitioning into offensive pressure

It is coaching, but coaching when these dudes were 6. Not today.

I see two choices:

 

Chandler for Zusi, and push Yedlin to the wing.

Mix for Zusi and actually have a link from midfield to Dempsey that doesn't require MB90 running himself into the ground.

 

If we stick with status quo we'll waste this chance, since this game is completely winnable. Belgium are exactly who I thought they were.

Jozy for Zusi, save the last sub in case he gets hurt or for Mix if we have to chase a goal late.

[USSoccer]

JK needs to make some changes before they score, because right now it's a matter of time. We can't absorb pressure all game and expect to pull it off.

[Guest]

Besler has made himself so much money in this tournament

[shnsajax]

Are we just beyond exhausted? Nothing going forward.

[USSoccer]

JK forgot he has other players he can play.
