I really hope we don’t keep Berhalter.

He dresses like shit too. Looks like shirt from Goodwill.

I agree, I get the want for homegrown management but I think both sides would have benefited from managers with experience against European sides in high pressure situations

I don’t want to say that teams let both our sides control the pace and tempo of our matches and let us have majority of possession. I think it was probably a combination of our athleticism and tactics along with euro sides being content to sit back a bit and counter if we were going to expose our back lines like that. But there really has to be a better balance going forward for both teams. It’s really naive to only have that guns blazing tactic against superior sides.

Uses the last sub on Morris

Does Wright have like no muscle mass or something? Not impressed at all with him

It’s sad that USA is going to go out to this questionable Netherlands side on defensive coverage brains farts.

The coach needs to take heat for that.

Time to support Japan I guess

 

[Enron]

Musa is a tank

People like to praise bravery when clearly an inferior team tries to impose its game and go all out to attack. But how many times does it work in reality? Its easier to set up defensive block and hit those teams on counters. If Canada stayed back and rellied more on counter attacks, Croatia would have far more difficult time.

I don't think either the US or Canada can sit back and defend. That would be suicidal. Their game plan depends on being physically fit and going for it. Defend by attacking. They don't know what to do when a better team sits back and hits them on a counter.

Argentina have an easy road to the semis

None of the teams on their side of the bracket is very good

Someone like Musah would be more useful to us that Wes, he sets tempo.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but sitting back and inviting pressure when you have a shaky defense can very easily be suicide as well.

Why are they questionable? Defensively and tactically they look very good.

 

[AFL_ITALIA]

So wasteful with these chances here

I think his release clause is 26

Indeed this isn't the quality of past Dutch teams.

probably less big name taken than other years, mediocre midfield

TBH that's just the going rate for someone of this level, and he's young. Shame we're up shit's creek for the time being.

Thought they looked pretty bad in all games so far tbh. They did sit back, but still looked shaky in the games prior to this one.

Edgar D still gotz dat stylez

Well, that ends that. Forza Japan now.
