Stock market just dropped 8K on the news that Biden is President

 

[AAABatteries]

Dammit - this REALLY hurts our chances at advancing.

Biggest issue for me is that it costs us a sub this game. I honestly don't think Jozy is so much better than our other options that it's a huge downgrade. He's got a different skill set, but not necessarily a better skill set.

Jozy is our best striker. Holds the ball up better than anyone else we have by far. IMO It's a huge blow.

 

[TenTimes]

Biden sitting next to Ghanan VP.. wish there were a camera on them after that 30 second goal.

 

[ffldrew]

Now JJ limping

Yes, he is our best holdup striker, but there are other ways to play the position.

 

[otello]

nice save!!

 

[Mario Kart]

Did USA change formation at all due to Jozy? Pull a forward back for an extra midfielder or anything like that?

 

[dparker713]

Way to go Timmay!

 

[ffldrew]

WTF?

 

[The Gator]

Need more pressure when they're 30/40 yards out.....allowing them too much time to pick out their passes

 

[otello]

OUCHH

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Stone him, Timmy

 

[Ilov80s]

Can they replace Jozy?

They did replace him. You get 3 subs per game.

On the roster, not the game.

No, the roster you bring is the roster you have.

 

[culdeus]

Broken?

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Yeah, that's broken.

 

[dparker713]

####, this is becoming a MASH unit out there.

 

[ILUVBEER99]

USA in big trouble with the injuries.

 

[dparker713]

Gotta be Wondo, right?

 

[Native]

This is nuts.

Not that many when you play superior talent which we undeniably will the next two games.

 

[TenTimes]

10 or so minutes of stoppage time then?

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Deuce face activated.

 

[msommer]

Is the US team built for the contra game?

Not sure they are that effective, but is it at least the intention to be?

 

[Ilov80s]

So sick of these guys rolling around stalling the game everytime they tear their hamstring or break their nose.

 

[Native]

Yes theyre probably better suited to counter-attack than they are to play possession.

 

[AAABatteries]

Need to get to HT with a lead.

 

[Evilgrin 72]

Don't be too quick to rule Jozy out for the next game. I had a grade 1 hamstring strain in HS playing football on a Tuesday and was back in action by Saturday.

 

[dparker713]

10 or so minutes of stoppage time then?

2 minutes is a lot in the first half, on very rare occasions you get 3.

 

[Norman Paperman]

The Beas is killing us

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

DMB has been atrocious.

 

[GroveDiesel]

We've had some awful touches on defense. No control at all.

[Evilgrin 72]

Fun fact : Dempsey's tally was the 5th fastest goal in World Cup history.

 

[Moe.]

Lotta giveaways by Bradley. Only a matter of time before Atsu creates a goal.

 

[GregR]

Don't be too quick to rule Jozy out for the next game. I had a grade 1 hamstring strain in HS playing football on a Tuesday and was back in action by Saturday.

... where you scored 4 touchdowns against Polk High?

 

[Evilgrin 72]

So who starts in Beasley's place against Portugal? Chandler?

 

[ffldrew]

Beasler crap

 

[The Gator]

HAMSTRINGS FOR EVERYONE

Would you call that a commie-ish red?

Or got picked off by future NFLer Jay Bellamy.

 

[Moe.]

God help us if we trot Beasley out there against Ronaldo.

 

[The Gator]

Nice composure by bacon there

With a broken arm in a sling. Real football players are tough, not like these wusses

 

[dparker713]

Great pass by Bacon

So far the other way seems to be "terrible"

 

[dparker713]

So who starts in Beasley's place against Portugal? Chandler?

Good God no. If there is one player on the team I don't want to see the pitch, it's Chandler.

 

[otello]

Altidore has a history of hammy issues?

 

[msommer]

So who starts in Beasley's place against Portugal? Chandler?

God help us if we trot Beasley out there against Ronaldo.

You gotta think Portugal will have a bit of a chip on their shoulder, so divine intervention may indeed be required

 

[Worm]

A clean sheet would be a miracle based on how this is going.
