    Oh I know he can't, but he needs to come in at half and work with the 1s.

    Edu trumps Clark in the midfield.



    Clark can't hold the ball in the midfield

    Benny and Landon switched on the last corner, Dempsey drops to an AM behind Jozy and they will flip also.

    From the looks of it, it looked like only one guy was up top for Turkey and they hit him. That's definitely DeMerit sliding over and Goodson covering behind DeMerit. I don't think Clark or Fielhaber were in position to cover for Spector. I'll have to rewatch how quick Turkey broke out though.

    As i'm typing, same play just some cover on the right...

    If Turkey could finish this game would be 4-0

    I know there were bodies in the box, but Boca CANNOT just boot that ball in like that.

    1) We have 1 big body to aim at
    2) It sets us up for a big time counter, just like what happened. One defender heads it out to a midfielder who releases another midfielder and boom, there's a breakaway.

    I don't understand why he doesn't give it to dempsey on the wing who just crossed it in...

    do you give a goal to turkey every time they possess the ball near the 18 yard box? they didnt even get a shot on goal.

    He's an American fan 2nd and picks apart the team and hides behind it. Claims he wants us to do well, but bashes when we struggle.

    They have 1 goal already

    And they just missed high

    And before you claim that I'm a homer. We're not playing good at all and deserve to be down and maybe even down 2

    was going to say, looked like the keeper got himself slightly out of position where is alti kept it he had room to get it in by the keeper

    Benny is getting too far in the middle, leaving the wing wide open. They get it to the wing and we commit to it and that's how they've broke us down outside the counter attack

    Pretty sure most of the people watching this game will agree with all of my points.

    You really can't let that thread go.

    I am glad someone on the internet made such a impression on you. And you literally hold a grudge against someone from a message board.

    Congrats with every post you make you show how much of a faggit you are

    Benny needs to be in the middle but if Bradley starts him he'll put him on the wing because he is obsessed with having Bradley and Clark in the middle doing the same thing.

    He could of let one lose as well.

    being greedy in that situation is not bad. All he had was the keeper in front.

    Very good either way.

    1 nill at half. Could have easily been 2 or 3. 1 real good chance for the US.



    Need to tighten up on defense. This team is not inspiring great confidence for any type of run in the WC.

    yeah, I really hope Clark doesn't start...he should come off the bench after Torres, Edu or Holden imo. just not a huge fan of what he adds.

    I'd have Benny in the middle with Bradley, Donovan and Dempsey on the wing.

    Yes you did.

    I clearly said earlier we sucked and deserved to be down. You're just too caught up in your little world to realize it.

    I thought we looked pretty good on offense, but our defense is quite porous.

    Arda Turan looks quite good. As a Spurs fan, that made me very happy.

    theories on why our MF gets overran(is that the right word? lol) so often? I guess my question is why is there so much space in the central midfield? Happened at the Confederations Cup, against Mexico at Azteca and a few other times in other games

    PleaseDontBanme Well-Known Member

    Ok which in turn put a lot of pressure on the defense since we don't have anyone that really posses the ball in the central midfield, Benny is too inconsistent imo which is why I've been dying see Holden and/or Torres get a legit shot in at CM with another DM.

    jozy's move was as good as ive ever seen by an american. To bad he couldnt make the pass. But dempsey could have gotten there. Terrible half by dempsey.

    because the rest probably don't affect Donovan or Altidore, who ESPN treats as the only 3 that matter

    This, but I think Holden will play wing

    How could he have gotten there, he ran, stayed onside and then laid out for it...

    He struggled but that wasn't on him at all...

    He's the guy American fans really love to pick on.
