OT: (edit) COPA Finals - Argentina vs Chile !!!

[IcyPatriot]

Klinsman opting for a defensive look straight 4-4-2 ...
funny how that is considered defensive in today's game.
I cannot stand Wondo ... wtf is Klinsman thinking.

Brad Guzan,

DeAndre Yedlin, Geoff Cameron, John Brooks, Fabian Johnson,

Gyasi Zardes, Kyle Beckerman, Michael Bradley, Graham Zusi,

Clint Dempsey, Chris Wondolowski,

Well that didn't take long ... Beckerman sucks.

USA had 3 players containing 2 above the 18 and Beckerman was ready to joing them to make it 4 v 2 ... and Argentina took advantage ... what a dope. Beckerman just lost a 50/50 while I type.

Messi is brilliant. From here on out I just want the US to play their balls off and make Argentina earn the win.

 

[IcyPatriot]

Hopefully sooner rather than later Klinsman puts Pulisic in ... get Wondo out of there he is hacking.

About all he is good at when playing above MLS level.

3 v 1 and Messi blisters a shot on guzan ... amazing how he constantly changes speed with the ball in his feet.

Bradley is so unremarkable…and he's the best midfielder from a nation of 330 million?

USA Youth Soccer wants everyone playing a 4-4-2 and all the play is up the sides.
If we ever create a real midfielder it will be by chance ... they are constantly in search of strikers.
If they let the kids play in a 4-1-3-2 things would be better IMO as it would create more defensive mids and center mid fielders.

The US needs to slow the game down. Get a rhythm going in MF. More short passes.

Idiot Klinsman is playing long ball tonight ... long ball is so 80's.
that is his strategy and it's leaving huge space in the midfield for Argentina.

There's a huge donut in the midfield ... sigh.

 

[wolverinejoe80]

we are just not there yet. we are like atlanta falcons.

 

[IcyPatriot]

Wondo gets a yellow ... hate that I had to be right in my first post ... he sucks ass.

 

[AzorianPats]

Messi just spent more time tying his shoes than US time of possession

 

[borg]

The greatest

 

[IcyPatriot]

2-0 ... Messi on fire.

 

[AzorianPats]
