Yikes

 

[gianmarco]

Stupid foul.

 

[The Z Machine]

Great play by DMB followed by a dumb one getting caught up high.

 

[sporthenry]

Odds DMB doesn't pick up another yellow?

And #### this 3rd announcer.

 

[The Z Machine]

Defense is looking bad thus far.

 

[The Gator]

Fuuuuck, I thought that was in

 

[eurotrashman]

The Gator estas pinche puto

 

[Steve Tasker]

That linesman calling that Bradley "push" a PK kinda worries me. I hate to suspect shady-dealing or match fixing, but a call like that is even overstepping the "home cooking" bounds.

How do I mute the Mexican commentator?

 

[The Z Machine]

It was a dumb push by Bradley.

 

[jonessed]

It seems the third announcer is there to disagree with everything.

 

[The Z Machine]

Why can't Gio get a game anywhere decent?

 

[jonessed]

These early yellow cards hurt.

 

[The Gator]

How do I mute the Mexican commentator?

Get the Gus Johnson app. Syncs up with the time of the game and he belts out random calls as the game goes on. Just as accurate as the real thing.

 

[Steve Tasker]

I have a bad feeling the US doesn't finish this game with 11 men on the field.

 

[The Z Machine]

He's there to appeal to the Mexican American audience pulling for el tri but are watching in English.

 

[sporthenry]

Same here. That or they somehow spread out 4-5 yellow cards among their back 4.

 

[jonessed]

What a waste.

 

[The Z Machine]

I think I'm seeing some of the JK style influence here, and its not that bad.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

WTF?

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Who hired the Mexican troll?

 

[sporthenry]

WTF?

 

[Steve Tasker]

Zavala unmarked at the back post. Is Per Mertesacker starting in defense for the US tonight?

 

[The Z Machine]

Not a big fan of Cameron in the appearances I've seen.

 

[The Z Machine]

Mexico is knocking

 

[eurotrashman]

Wow

 

[bweiser]

mexico looks like it is on a continuous power play.

 

[jonessed]

Beasley looks like poop.

 

[eurotrashman]

WTF!

Sloppy!

 

[The Z Machine]

Welcome to Azteca

 

[Mjolnirs]

Beasley is getting owned.

 

[The Gator]

Way too big of a gap between the defensive line and Bradley/Edu at times

 

[sporthenry]

If they can get to half tied. They might have a chance. Get away from that sideline ref.

 

[The Z Machine]

Edu has no presence right now

 

[Steve Tasker]

Way too big of a gap between the defensive line and Bradley/Edu at times

Delicate balance, though. If they get too far forward, it exposes Gonzalez/Besler. It they lie too deep, the US can't attack for #### up the middle. Given the situation, I don't think I mind them playing deep.

 

[sporthenry]

What does Jozy provide in a game like this? We aren't exactly using him as a target forward and he has minimal work rate.

 

[gianmarco]

Wow, they are not looking good at all right now. Spacing is horrible both on defense and for passing. Lots of standing around and no coordination whatsoever. Just a matter of time before this gets out of hand.

 

[The Z Machine]

Agreed. You might be better served to have gomez up top and a winger in place on the left... Say someone like landon donovan?

One needs to cover. Both don't need to attack/cover. They need to stagger more.

While we're waiting for Mexico to score, explain to this novice what happened to Oguchi Onyewu. Wasn't he considered a benchmark player for the team at some point? He's not currently better then a few of our current defenders?

I don't know how you judge any striker with this lack of service.

He ####ed up his knee pretty badly during 2010 qualifying and has never been the same. I think it was the Costa Rica game, the 2-2 draw with Bornstein scoring the late tying goal?

Hurt and old. Not much PT as of late as i recall. Time to bring on the new guard.

Huh? He's had 0 service, but his hold up play has been excellent thus far.

Blew out his knee and lost his pace. Center backs aren't the problem tonight.

 

[The Z Machine]

If the US can hold through 50 mins, the crowd will get anxious and the players will feel the pressure.

 

[Steve Tasker]

US should drop Edu and Cameron into central defense and play the vaunted 6-3-1.

But that is the point. Do you see any type of service coming to him this game? I don't. Might as well throw someone up there who is going to chase down the balls when DMB decides to just kick it.
