Really glad we scheduled a game vs a parked bus when none of our World Cup opponents are going to remotely do anything like that.

This whole game is just annoying the piss out of me. The crowd, the Dempsey thing, Wondo blowing two clear, free headers, the wind, the complete lack of quality that the opponent has. This is the opposite of a useful test.

I bet a bunch of subs come in and destroy just to further muddy the waters.

[USSoccer]

I really don't like Wondolowski at all.

Jon Champion just laid waste to US fan denial. "You expect Altidore to bully the likes of Mertesacker, Hummels or Pepe?"

No, Jon. No we do not.

Bradley as CAM just doesn't work without Dempsey pressure valve to demand attention and combine.

Yeah, there's not enough attacking quality on the field to deal with a parked bus like this.

 

Wondo and his Eckstein-like hustle aren't helping link play worth a damn.

ArJo is the Deuce clone in a meaningful game. Jurgen knows that.

He's hurt too at the moment and out of form, so that's good.

Bedoya is getting too much love on the broadcast. He's grinding but he's not making anything happen.

[wolf stansson]

Gonzo, Chandler and Davis in. Beasley, Zusi & Cameron out.

I don't see how anything than happened on that field warrants even remote praise. That half was garbage for multiple reasons. Wondo is useless unless he's finishing, and his try-hard crap isn't going to work when all the other players on the other team start playing hard in June. Jozy is just bereft of confidence, MB has nobody to combine with, Bedoya has nobody to pass to, Besler and Cam haven't remotely been challenged.

 

Its been a total waste. I don't care if JK uses his 6 subs and we win 4-0; we're not getting 6 subs next month. Just ugh.

[wolf stansson]

Alexi acting like having possession vs Azerbaijan is a meaningful accomplishment.

[USSoccer]

How much more of Orangey McHustle am I going to have to sit through this half?

[wolf stansson]

Would've been curious to see who took that pk without LD. Should be 3-0.

The poor referee is the best World Cup prep about this game

[wolf stansson]

Bradley is flat. All that beep test domination.

[wolf stansson]

Love these subs. Energy.

[USSoccer]

Yedlin and AJ in for FJ and Wondo Theriot.

[wolf stansson]

I skipped Fargo for this.

[USSoccer]

This is a turgid death march. Turkey will at least be an entertaining test.

[wolf stansson]

Mix plz.

[Guest]

Yedlin plays like he's holding down the turbo button.

[USSoccer]

Yedlin just wrecked that LB

[wolf stansson]

#10 on the score sheet, #1 in line to appear in a head and shoulders commercial with Troy Polomalu...
