passing is sloppy

 

[The Kansas Comet]

Turner just gave me a minor heart attack there with that heavy touch.

 

[dickey moe]

Too many of these dumb little errors around our goal.

 

[General Malaise]

If I attempted what 22 just did for the orange I'd be in a body cast for a year.

 

[Zow]

Turner just gave me a minor heart attack there with that heavy touch.

Yeah some nerves out there.

 

[Dickies]

That was a perfect set-up pass…. to the Dutch

 

[encaitar]

We've been pretty sloppy with our passing so far. Gonna need to clean it up if we want to win this game.

 

[Ted Lange as your Bartender]

Feels like there’s 25 orange jerseys out there

 

[gianmarco]

Feels like there’s 25 orange jerseys out there

I was about to say the same. Their defensive alignment is looking really tough to break right now. There's simply no room.

 

[gianmarco]

This game needs Gio.

 

[Desert_Power]

Leaving that space in front of the defense is one thing I always disliked about Bradley in the center midfield. Disappointing to see the US give up another goal on the World Cup stage because of that lazy marking.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

This game needs Gio.

I think they caught the US offguard with this. Weah is useless against this defense.

 

[The General]

We are not getting a header in the box versus these dudes.

 

[⚡DEADHEAD⚡]

We are not getting a header in the box versus these dudes.

Our action in the box is lousy. Has been the entire tournament.

 

[gianmarco]

They are overloading our left side too. We need to go up the right with Dest more.

 

[TripItUp]

Dutch really compact and organized in the final half

We can’t seem to crack it

Might need to go over the top and play lower percentage attacks

And Gio and aaranson need to come on and try some ****

 

[DA RAIDERS]

They’ve got some grown *** men on their side.

 

[gianmarco]

Only thing I hope is that the Dutch start to tire with this approach. I wonder if they can keep that pressure on the ball like that for 90.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

That was nice. Moar please

 

[Desert_Power]

God, drop that back to Weston there.

 

[gianmarco]

Wow.

Weah with a rocket.

 

[dickey moe]

Dang

 

[DA RAIDERS]

This game needs Gio.

I think they caught the US offguard with this. Weah is useless against this defense.

I think he heard you. Say something else about him!

 

[The General]

Dest going to have to do it for us.

 

[gianmarco]

Keep going up the right with Dest!

 

[Ted Lange as your Bartender]

Dagger

 

[DA RAIDERS]

****

 

[TLEF316]

Sigh. Daley freaking blind of all people

 

[General Malaise]

Ugh

 

[need2know]

Ouch. Feels over

 

[GroveDiesel]

Well that’s just terrible defense in the box.

 

[AAABatteries]

LVG obviously coached them on that pullback - they’ve done it like 5 times

DAMMIT

 

[Desert_Power]

Dest going to have to do it for us.

He did something

 

[Dickies]

Champagne strat deployed. Wife wakes up, sees the half-empty bottle, and gives me a look of disgust and says “So I take it I’m taking Carter (our son) to baseball evaluations?”

 

[dickey moe]

Cry

 

[Desert_Power]

LVG obviously coached them on that pullback - they’ve done it like 5 times

DAMMIT

Yep. US caught ball watching on both goals.

 

[Dickies]

Brutal way to end the half

 

[RCon]

This team actually passes, successfully, in the box. I can count on one hand the number of passes the US has converted in the box for the entire tournament.

 

[Nick Vermeil]

Turrble

 

[dickey moe]

Killer right before the half.

 

[gianmarco]

Oh well.

Maybe some changes upcoming, but Dutch looking up to it today.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Dest was gassed, and got caught flat footed.

 

[TLEF316]

They're just better. We knew they were.

They're clogging up the mid field and they have absolutely no fear in front of the net with VVD vs Ferreira.

Oh well. Needed CP to finish that early one. He didn't

 

[Zow]

Both sides seem to play their game plans. US looked in between the middle 80% of the field.

Difference is the Dutch can finish.

 

[Jayrod]

LVG obviously coached them on that pullback - they’ve done it like 5 times

DAMMIT

Yep. US caught ball watching on both goals.

Both ball pressure and marking in the middle terrible on that goal. They just got to where they wanted and did what they wanted on that play with no resistance.

 

[Zow]

Dest was gassed, and got caught flat footed.

Yep. He played his *** off then took a breathe for a second.

 

[NewlyRetired]

The Dutch tactics to shut off any supply lines to Weston and Musah has worked perfectly.

That was a dagger second goal. There is likely no way back but you have to put in Aaronson and Reyna and try to get the next goal.

Being behind by two to a team who is built to sit and counter is a nightmare scenario obviously.

 

[BeTheMatch]

Well, that's a bummer. Would've loved to see US come out only down 1-0 at half and see if they could make it interesting. Now it's just no shot. But, man, Netherlands seems to be on another level, despite some of the chances we had.

 

[culdeus]

What's live odds now.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Strategic masterclass from van Gaal. US has no answers. Ferreira not good enough to play at this level. Defense asleep. McKennie and Musah swallowed-up by the Dutch midfield.
