Retired US Soccer / World Cup Thread (RIP)

Gorgeous strike + a keeper that moves like a glacier = goal.
 
Shit keeping all around in that game. An above-average keeper saves both of Brazil's run of play goals.

I have not been convinced by Brazil at all today and Julio Cesar is at the top of the reasons for that.

Agree. Good games from Oscar and Neymar. But David Luis also could have had an own goal. I had expected their back line to be better than it was. And in addition to the defense, they got nothing out of Hulk and Fred. Wonder if we'll see some line-up changes.

They don't have anyone that can replace Fred, unless they make Neymar a false-9...

Hulk has to be sweating his position as Bernard looked a lot better than him in his short time on the pitch.

Don't be hating on the awesome that is Jo
 
Willian should start over Hulk, simple as. He's just a much better player, and Scolari's support of Hulk has become ridiculous. He simply cannot link up with either of their fullbacks well thanks to his poor touch and overall technique, so what purpose does he serve as a wide forward with the way they play?
 
Watch the goals. If Croatia has a world class keeper, they win 1-0. If they have an average keeper, they force a draw

He's terrible. It's amazing how many shit goalkeepers are in this tournament (and even the "good" ones are old and secretly dodgy these days ... *cough* Casillas and Buffon *cough*)
 
Just saw the highlights. Pletsikova (sp?) is hot garbage. He maybe should of let in one of those. And that definitely wasn't a penalty. Should of been a yellow on Fred for embellishment. Yes the defender brushed his shoulders for a second. Come on.
 
Can ESPN put at least one poor bastard on this round table that can speak English?
 
Jorge Ramos of ESPN reporting that FIFA has told the US to be ready in case Qatar stripped of 2022 World Cup.

MAKE IT HAPPEN.
