Finds space in front of goal well

So Chicharito

[sporthenry]

Why can't we bring laser pointers and shine them on El Tri?

 

[The Z Machine]

I think k these CBs are coming into their own.

Jozy is scoring boatloads of goals for his club, many of them spectacular. Something is getting lost in translation between club and country.

 

[jonessed]

The US is getting sloppy on these corners.

 

[The Z Machine]

The US will have to weather a storm in the last 20

At least Gonzalez. Seems like he could be laying claim to that spot. Nice to see him finally settling in.

Service and defenses that bunker.

 

[The Gator]

Love Zusi's effort this game

 

[TLEF316]

Dmb beat up and running on fumes

 

[sporthenry]

Love Zusi's effort this game

Effort by just about everyone has been great. Bradley, Zusi, Gonzalez and even DMB has been solid with just a few hiccups.

 

[The Gator]

Ooof, lucky not a pk

 

[((Morpheus))]

that's a stone cold pk

 

[Premier]

 

[TLEF316]

Should be a penalty

 

[gianmarco]

The dive contributed to not getting it.

 

[The Z Machine]

2 penalties not tiven for MEX? Tough break

 

[dparker713]

That was highly fortunate no call

 

[onionsack]

Nice tackle!

 

[sporthenry]

Hey, the US was due some good fortune on PK calls/no calls.

 

[dparker713]

2 penalties not tiven for MEX? Tough break

That Bradley/Chicarito play should have been a no call. That last one, not so much.

 

[sporthenry]

Shea? Didn't think we'd see him. 3 offensive subs.

 

[The Z Machine]

No clock watching boys.

 

[The Z Machine]

Crazy subs, but it's working i guess

 

[sporthenry]

Putting Shea at LB? Or pulling Zusi and letting Brek cut inside to his left foot.

 

[The Z Machine]

Tine to stretch the defense? Seems odd. Most managers would bunker here.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Besler has been as good as one could ever expect in this situation.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Gonzalez and Besler have been pretty damn good back there.

Want to believe in the point here, but know better.

 

[The Z Machine]

JK goes all in

 

[sporthenry]

JK goes all in

 

[jonessed]

Tine to stretch the defense? Seems odd. Most managers would bunker here.

Or keep Mexico honest. They seemed to have avoided the big late push by continuing to maintain some possession.

 

[The Gator]

Dempsey had been invisible this half

 

[jonessed]

The marking on set pieces has been atrocious.

 

[sporthenry]

I expected corners to be handled better. That is probably Guzan's ball. Not too much stoppage time.

More than three and #### hits the fan

 

[((Morpheus))]

Dempsey had been invisible this half

I seem to remember him turning the ball over a couple of times.

 

[sporthenry]

I'd like to see them get Shea or even Davis a chance to run onto the ball.

 

[TLEF316]

4 minutes. Ugh

 

[Christo]

I'd like to see them get Shea or even Davis a chance to run onto the ball.

As long as we get the point I don't care if the US completes another pass.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Ugh. Was hoping for three minutes.

 

[sporthenry]

Not sure where they got 4 minutes. No real injuries and no goals.

 

[sporthenry]

That is bad by Davis. I could forgive Cameron for that after 90 minutes.

 

[The Gator]

Not sure where they got 4 minutes. No real injuries and no goals.

As of right now I'll take the extra minute to make up for the non pk call

 

[Premier]

This is horrid.

 

[((Morpheus))]

Whoa, did Guzan save that last shot?

 

[Christo]

 

[The Z Machine]

Wow
