Dwyer looking like a beast out there

[wolf stansson]

Schalke has a bunch of American youth prospects about to break through, one of which is Haji Wright. He apparently scored four goals in 15 minutes today.

Dwyer really has a nose for goal. It'd be nice if he could be the guy that Wondo never could be for the USMNT.

[wolf stansson]

They're really missing Cameron and MB out there. No organization, no assertive gritty defending.

Isn't that the one thing Bedoya is supposed to be good at

 

I'm biased but I'd love to see what a Roldan/Acosta partnership could do

[wolf stansson]

Trash performance by the center mids and outside backs. Roldan could've helped. Bedoya was invisible.

 

Really it's been Dax, Zusi, and Bedoya who have sucked the most.

I know Michael Bradley haters aren't watching because it's not the world cup, but this game is a perfect example of why they're horsefeathering stupid. MB controls these games against cynical, crafty opponents better than anyone since possibly Reyna.

[shnsajax]

What a shitty performance so far.

[wolf stansson]

We should all just take a moment to appreciate Geoff Cameron and Michael Bradley, because those guys make everything go in ways that are hard to see until you're watching the alternatives.

i don't know nothing, but i thought Lichag really impressed (one bad touch aside)

[wolf stansson]

I would very much like to see this lineup v Nicaragua:

 

----------------------Guzan

Lichaj------Gonzalez----Hedges-----Villafana

----------------------McCarty

Arriola---------------Acosta-------------Rowe

-----------------Morris--Dwyer

[wolf stansson]

Jozy, Deuce, MB, Howard, Nagbe, and Gonzalez are with the US for the knock outs.

Looks like USMNT is going to need to win by at least 3 to win the group.

[bukie]

And the starting lineup is...completely different from the last game, different starters at every position. That's new and different.

[wolf stansson]

Bruce truly dgaf. He cared more about cycling players to get a good look than tactics. This game is screaming for two forwards and even after the game Morris had he sticks to the cycling plan.

 

 

Many of these MLS players struggle with precision passing, touch, and movement. I don't know what his upside is, but Kelyn Rowe is not one of those players.

[wolf stansson]

There is a serious lack of skill on this roster. Can't wait for the reinforcements.

[wolf stansson]

Dudes from Seattle are masters of the outside right foot finish.

[wolf stansson]

You've got to be kidding me. Two pathetic weak penalties.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The difference in soccer intelligence and ability between Bradley, Jozy, Nagbe, & Deuce and the players they replaced is huuuuuuuge.

[wolf stansson]

The El Salvador defender gave jozy a very sensual nipple tweak from behind with a playful bite on the neck. Who amongst us hasn't? Maybe not on a soccer field, but still.

I'm just glad our beautiful son, Christian, isn't here to see this disgraceful behavior.

[bukie]

Well, the officiating was the worst I can remember, the El Sal team was shameless, the back line was suspect, the passing was off, the finishing was non existent, and it was still 2-0 at the end of the day.
