The Soccer Thread

From Jurgen's scribblings:

 

Would suggest Bradley as fulcrum, Jones pivoting up and providing cover for Chandler, Deuce roaming and cutting up the right channel and Jozy playing back to goal to lay off balls to him.

[wolf stansson]

Grant Wahl disagrees with my assessment and is probably correct.

 

@GrantWahl

Look for Jones to pinch in at midfield and leave most of the right side for Chandler to cover. Big test in his 1st official US game.

 

I plan on posting lots of nonsensical reactions to something I'm not watching today, so I'll lose the sig pic.

Lampard scores for England, 2-1

Ball is bouncing like it's on astroturf.

[Guest]

Maybe it's just the camera angle but the field looks a little narrow.

Got lucky there. Honduras butchered that 2 on 1.

[wolf stansson]

This is a little stressful. I might have to stop following live.

Reading the gamecast. Everytime I see Costly I think something bad happened. What kind of Honderian last name is that anyway.

Honduras' coach: That dad who had to coach because no one else volunteered

Sounds like Jozy and EJ are getting chances.

Eddie had an open header off a corner but couldn't get it down and Jozy tried to volley a cross but it went just over the crossbar.

 

We're picking it up a little now.

F Johnson just saved a goal by cutting in front of his mark that had an empty net.

[Guest]

Wouldn't matter even if we did have a TV. We just lost power. Twitter it is.

DEUCE DEUCE DEUCE DEUCE

CLINT!!!

 

Awesome pass from Jones, great finish by Clint.

[Guest]

I assume the goal was more exciting on TV than on Twitter.

Ball over the top by Jones from around 35 yards out in the center of the field and Clint volleyed it into the corner.

[wolf stansson]

Now it's time for some Wilson Phillips all up in this piece. JUST HOLD ON.

[Guest]

Lazy defending and ball watching.

Dempsey gets barreled into, no call.
