Timmy!

 

[TLEF316]

First time I've been able to watch these guys. Not impressed with de la fuente at all.  Looks every bit of the not yet 18 year old that he is.

And as I'm typing this....TIMMAY!!!

 

[Ted Lange as your Bartender]

Sweet volley!

 

[Ted Lange as your Bartender]

So close for a 2nd

It has been like this all tournament for him.

 

[NewlyRetired]

come on VAR..

 

[Ted Lange as your Bartender]

That should be called back but  

 

[NewlyRetired]

come on VAR..

#### :(

 

[TLEF316]

Wait......what?

 

[NewlyRetired]

going to need Uly-Time again in second half....

fun game so far.

 

[Moe.]

I want to see Ledezma. 

I thought they were clearly on for the second goal. Guy looked behind the ball to me 

 

[El Floppo]

Slow start and moments of being outmatched... The first goal needed somebody to step to him sooner and the GK.. not exactly catlike or athletic with the dive. Nowhere bear the corner of the goal.

But as Andy said, the US found the speed of the game and I loved how diverse their attacks were- finding space down the wings but also through the middle with Mendez. Thought overall they looked really good and were creating great opportunities.

And having seen Ecuador against Italy .. I thought ECU was the dominant team there and deserved better. Just got punished by a player who had the ability to take advantage. Win or lose here, US yutes showed me far more than their senior counterparts in that Jam game.

 

[berndog]

Uly for Konrad to start the second half  please

 

[El Floppo]

It was hard to tell for me- looked close- until that line replay clearly showed it being on.

 

[El Floppo]

Fair score, but could be for either team, even if ECU attack has shown a little more class. US doing most of it's work with overlaps from glister and dest, with some nice moments from pomy and mendez

 

[Sammy3469]

Dreadful MF defending on both ECU goals.  No aggression to close down the space at all.

 

[El Floppo]

@El Floppo

look here.  There will almost certainly be a good stream here from the choices

Thanks buddy- ended up on NBC sports app.

Timmy!

 

[Sebowski]

If you guys are going to treat this like the gameday thread at least tell me the score. I'm in a hotel room and this isn't on the score app.

 

[Sebowski]

And I finally try to use your millennial 'reddit" thingy and it attacks my phone saying I have a virus. 

 

[NewlyRetired]

so close

 

[TLEF316]

Soto

2-1 Ecuador

1-2 bad guys 

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Soto

Classic one footed weak finish. Slots that home if he has a left 

 

[The Z Machine]

20 mins to make something happen.

My family is watching Spain - South Africa on Telemundo

 

[TripItUp]

Our conditioning is excellent, we have had superior pace in the second halves

 

[berndog]

I forgot Brian Bliss was coaching with Tab. To this day he is the fastest person I ever played against.

Well, I hope they make something happen fast

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

After a couple of indifferent games, Dest has been a stud in the last two.

 

[need2know]

What channel is this on

 

[NewlyRetired]

What channel is this on

it was on FS2, game is over now.

 

[TLEF316]

The better side won. Feels like they won every 1v 1 on the outside.

Sargent probably finishes that chance that Soto blew

 

[berndog]

I Pomykal and Dest

 

[NewlyRetired]

Over all good tournament for the US.

Lets hope it helps some of the players looking for loans and or playing time when they head back to their clubs.

 

[El Floppo]

What channel is this on

It's over

 

[BassNBrew]

Been a bad soccer week.

 

[El Floppo]

Durkin didn't do much for me here.

Richards, Dest, Glocester, Pomy, Weah- all seem ready for next steps.... Mendez/Llanez/Ledezma with lots of upside, but need more marinating down the road

 

[El Floppo]

Been a bad soccer week.

They beat France and played well today (outside of the d on the first goal). So I'm confused.

 

[El Floppo]

They showed that they could not just shoe up- but actually play against the best in the world. I'll take that over a result where they're far weaker and just hold on for dear life 

 

[TripItUp]

Overall good showing.   The future is fine.  

Lets see see if the USMNT can perform.   If not, ditch Berhalter.

All of this, except I'd move Weah into the marinating group for now.

Nice to see what the Dest fuss has been about.  Pomykal as advertised.  Richards a revelation.

 

[TripItUp]

Weah improved his stock....hope he lands at a club that will develop him.  

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Jason La Canfora is NOT IMPRESSED

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Weah improved his stock....hope he lands at a club that will develop him.  

Would love him at Liverpool with Klopp known for development. He can play all front three positions, right?  Think he'd be better of in a team where he's playing day in day out though first.

Liverpool. Sure... He's better than Mane.

Sarcasm?

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Sarcasm?

Nope.  He's got a quick turn, quicker brain and can run. He's not even ready for the first team don't get me wrong, but he does a lot of what I like.

 

[BassNBrew]

Each to their own.  You can have the participation medals and orange slices, I want the freaking hardware.

 

[BassNBrew]

I'm on supermarket weeks.  Maybe bad half week to be accurate.  USMNT looks like crap and Sargent really blows.  Pulisic not playing in next friendly.  U20s lose.
