A part of me would still love to see an MLS left back emerge from the Robbie Rogers, Brek Shea, Jorge Villafana ether or somewhere in Europe to move Fab up to the midfield and use Pulisic off the bench as a change of pace/style sub. That's pretty much beyond hope at this point though.

 

Isn't Kellyn Acosta in that mix too? He just got called in as a defender, right?

 

I have no doubt JK called him in as a fullback, since that's what the idiot in charge of the U23's did, but Kellyn Acosta is a Dmid or at best, a B2B central mid. He's a terrible fullback.

Let's talk about what a bad job Fox has done marketing Copa America.

[wolf stansson]

What's that?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

10 minutes in and the gamesmanship is already beyond tedious.

[USSoccer]

Ramos was offside there

[USSoccer]

What's that?

 

Because the tournament starts in 6 days and the general level of causal awareness is below a Gold Cup.

10 minutes in and the gamesmanship is already beyond tedious.

 

I almost hope Clattenburg loses control because these two sets of players will absolutely be ridiculous in their hysteria and cynicism.

[USSoccer]

Really, Griezmann?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

welp Atletico, Pepe tried to give you a goal and you didn't want it

[USSoccer]

Watching Torres stand around relatively static makes me remember the US plays tonight too

[USSoccer]

Pepe is and always will be the worst

[soccer10k]

LOL Pepe. Idiot.

[USSoccer]

This game has been turgid crap

[soccer10k]

Well that's a unique celebration.

[USSoccer]

Yeah that might have been a red there on Sergio Ramos

[Transmogrified Tiger]

LOL Pepe. Idiot.

[USSoccer]

Hopefully that guy helps orphans or puppies or something in his spare time because otherwise he's just the worst

I imagine the puppies would lick him and he'd reflexively recoil in horror and start rolling on the ground, holding his face.

Ugh.

[USSoccer]

I just don't get his love affair with Guasi Zardes at all.

 

Matt Besler isn't a left back but whatever JK.

Well, they looked better than Bolivia in that first half.

[bukie]

It's a friendly, and it's the CONMEBOL minnow, but that's the best they've looked against a South American team in, like, ever.

[wolf stansson]

I don't know if you remember the bad 90's film adaptation of Carl Hiaasen's "Strip Tease" but the scene where Burt Reynolds is drunk in his boxers and cowboy boots and he's covered his entire body in Vaseline cuz he's ready for action? That's me after that Nagbe to Pulisic goal.

The US has been fun to watch for three consecutive halves. What is this? The 2009 confed cup? Also I'm glad it happened but did anyone else feel weird when MB90 got subbed? That's just unnatural.
