Retired US Soccer / World Cup Thread (RIP)

[BillBrasky]

Forgot about Gatt for some reason, and I've thought that Gyau was more an ACM type. But I could be wrong.

Grant Wahl ‏ @GrantWahl
Italy lineup: Buffon; Maggio, Barzagli, Ogbonna, Criscito; Nocerino, Pirlo, Marchisio; Motta; Giovinco, Matri.

 

[Screamindemon3]

@GrantWahl: USA subs: Rimando, Cameron, Parkhurst, Spector, Kljestan, Boyd, Buddle. (Guzan not in uniform.)

 

[gsterp]

I'm guessing we use only 2 subs. No real basis for that, just a hunch.

Don't we get six? I'd say we use at least four with Cameron, Spector, Kljestan, Buddle and/or Boyd, coming on.

WTF is up with the white sleeves on the kits? They just look stupid.

Ugly, though the long sleeves are far better than short.

 

[tintinisahottie]

Jerseys look amateur hour

 

[ToughLoveDeac]

I think I've calculated around 1,387 scoring chances for Italy in the first few minutes. Hectic pace. Still 0-0.

 

[tintinisahottie]

TT sounds like he's about to throw up in the booth. Relax dude everyone expects you to suck at your job already, so there's no pressure to perform

 

[BillBrasky]

Yeah our defense looks bad. Boca and Goodson are just too slow to pair together.

 

[HuskyDeac]

Italy is making beautiful runs behind our CBs. We're actually defending well, these are just great balls.

Shea continues to piss me off.

 

[deacvision7]

That was just a terrible dive by Jozy

 

[HuskyDeac]

Brek is not ready. Every attack dies with him.

 

[Manifest Destiny]

Altidore is the worst player on the field IMO.

 

[HuskyDeac]

He knew it. Got up immediately and didn't complain. I think he expected more contact. Should have looked to continue.

 

[NoVaDeac]

pass the ranch, I like the shirts. Much more so with the long sleeves than I anticipate liking the short sleeves.

 

[HuskyDeac]

Altidore is the worst player on the field IMO.

It's Shea and it's not close. Williams and jozy haven't impressed. Everyone else I'm content with.

 

[deacvision7]

Bradley, Deuce and the LB good

Shea and Jozy bad
